I'll grant you elections, but changing rules for century-defining events like the pandemic or the Ukraine war seems very normal to me.

In a parallel and far more impactful setting, laws are changed far more often and for far lesser reasons.

Ukraine doesn't seem century defining?

It's following the Iraqi example. Big countries can do what they want to small countries without pushback. The Iraq war is century defining

"century defining" might be too much hyperbole given we've had two world wars in the last 103 years, but certainly from the perspective of Facebook, Covid and Ukraine have been perhaps the largest crises they've seen since over the course of their existence.
