It is clear now that the rules of international law have been replaced by the world of power and dominance.
It is basically the rules of the jungle as those with power fight over resources. This is a major shift in the way the world operates.
If you are a minnow be prepared to be bullied by those with might. Sad.

There is little doubt that we are now moving to "spheres of influence" with the world divided up.
The most probable divisions are the USA, China and Russia. Already President Trump is seeing the western world as his "sphere of influence" (e.g. Venezuela, Panama and Greenland). This is imperialism in the 21st century.
I think President Trump wants Ukraine to just "go away" and he sees Gaza as a necessary evil preferring it to somehow be at peace with Israel. He hopes (I think) for regime change in Iran. Hamas is seen as an impediment to peace in the Middle East.
The move to get the world's dependence on Taiwanese semiconductors to stop would lead to the USA somehow "disconnecting" from the Far East. This suggests if China wanted a new relationship (or even an invasion) with Taiwan, Trump would not get involved as long as world economics was not affected.
Let's hope that these new empires live in peaceful coexistence.
It makes my attempts look pathetic!
