But here’s the deeper truth: global leadership is rarely clean. Nations evolve their foreign policy not always based on moral growth but strategic interest. The U.S. now frames itself as a leader of the "rules-based international order" — but that order often feels like it applies unevenly (i.e., one rule for you, another for me). So, are they being hypocritical? Yes, in a historical and emotional sense. They cla...
