There were rules of war... [A]ll of us need to be... very thoughtful about supporting the creation of a world where anything goes, and might makes right. ...America is still the preeminent power, the , the global hegemon. ...I hope this is a moment for Americans to reflect on the facts that the rules-based international order, which did act as a constraint on American power, also provided America with some meaningful protection."
