The illusion of Western liberal rules-based order was already shattered when the US confiscated $300 billion of Russia’s foreign reserves in 2022.

Most people I know who aren't leftists don't see it that way. They've been brainwashed into thinking that Russia is some uniquely evil antagonist to the supposed rules based international order. It's really easy to provide counter-examples but they've also been conditioned to buy into imperialist thought relatively uncritically as long as it's a liberal eurocentric imperialism. After all, the US ruling class are just an even more self-righteous flavor of the european ruling class.
