All the complaints about supposed violations of international law that the US has made in the past really ring hollow now that Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: international bodies are designed to control the "impoverished, barbaric" Global East and South, not the "enlightened" Global West.

Pretty sure only USA thinks it's above international bodies.

Everyone thinks they're above international bodies, but most don't pretend that they don't think so.
