A few items that illustrate the fall.

Dmitry Medvedev continues to notice.

Washington and its allies accuse the members of those groups of “violating the rules-based order,” but, at same time, cannot explain what this order is,” he said.

“I have carefully picked through the legal text and studied it: it is incomprehensible. It is not clear what the order is and who approved it. It is really just an idea of the US and its allies, while mostly in NATO, of how best to do business in the world,” the former president stressed.

According to Medvedev, the rules-based order is actually what the West believes “is right,” adding that “once you are out of this order, you’re a perpetrator.”

The uni-polar world that the US is trying to preserve is “always prone to war and unfortunately results in conflicts,” he said. Meanwhile, the multi-polar system that Russia and other BRICS members are working to build “implies making a connection between different poles” and creating “a world in balance [that] is always relatively stable,” he explained.

Elsewhere, even Carlos Slim’s Blog has to adjust the narrative to fit reality in re Ukraine. Adding to the chaos, the GAE discovers that more and more people don’t care about the “rules-based” coercion.

In Mordor, Matt Miller and Co. are having a hard time explaining the media genocide within the Palestinian genocide. Also in West Asia, a couple of ancient B-52 Stratotargets won’t help when Iran delivers the promised “teeth-breaking” response to the last unlawful attacks.

But I’m sure Kamala Trump has already covered all of this to the satisfaction of the ‘Murikan collective brain trust.

PS: Daylight Savings Time has ended. I think it has ended for me permanently. Come spring, I’ll leave the fake farmers and bird watchers to do their clock thing.
