US President Donald Trump’s decision to invade Greenland has suddenly made Western leaders realise the importance of international laws.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made a confession that international laws were not applied consistently in the recent past, alluding to the Gaza conflict.
French President Emanuel Macron too suddenly remembered the significance of a rules-based international order.
British politicians, on the other hand, continued to showcase double-standards while debating the issues pertaining to Gaza and Iran.

People who believe that might is right Will not tolerate, if the same law was applied on them. All the nations that followed the law of might is right are now suffering from being overrun by the very same people whom they once robbed and plundered in the past. There is no need to name the countries. We all know who they are.
