Authors:
Unna Hathaway - Yale/Harvard She's monolingual, hilarious
Patrick Stewart (this is another one) - Oxford/Stanford He was capable learning French at least.
Smoking on the giant liberal crackpipe. To write all these bs, they really needed to learn at four top universities of the world.
Anyway.
Liberalism work if everyone agrees on playing by the rules. But reality is dictated by the most insane person in the room.

In foreign relations, international politics there is no higher power. All these international agreements work as long as it serves the interests of the most powerful. This was always like this. The first little circlejerk called League of Nations failed spectacularly.
These two retards citing Putin and Russia-Ukraine. Whatabout Kosovo? The real precedent for the attempt to alter borders was done by the most liberal, Democrat, Clinton led United States. They are the classic example of the most insane person in the room. All right they mention Kosovo further down.
And I agree with Matt. Post WWII 20th century and on the 21st was just as bloody as any previous eras, states just looked for other justifications, and Western powers - first and foremost the United States - used liberal justifications for her predatory actions. And yes not the "legal order" kept peace between great powers (the US and SU) but MAD. And MAD still has not changed.
This Golden Era of peace the crocodile tears are falling for never existed.
Look at this:
>While smaller nations generally face meaningful constraints on their use of force
Yeah, the big bullies keep the small ones in check in a schoolyard of bullies. What a great legal order.
Anyway these two faggots act like they just learnt about Realpolitik in first time in their life and they are very surprised. Maybe they should have picked better universities for their studies.
