This can change, and probably will now. Liberals want a peaceful, rules-governed world, like international law.

When a country so flagrantly violates those rules with the consent of other large nations like China, and does an enormous amount of harm, extreme threat (or use) of force is the only valid response.

EU militarization is near certain to happen. And hopefully much of Asia too. Taiwan needs a militarized Japan

Kosovo? Iraq? Libya International law? Trying putting all these into a single sentence. Unfortunately in the last 20 years West lost all claims for upholding “international law” or “rules”.

That is actually a very counter productive response. A likely one, but not a productive one.
