The order born out of the Second World War to prevent a third is being destroyed, and the philosophy of plunder is proclaimed as the exceptional and supreme right of the United States of America to conquest and the use of force as an immanent, natural, and everyday way of being. Beyond ideologies, all nation-states are in danger regardless of their cultural or political models.
