Might is right: the end of international law?

France’s President Emmanuel Macron has accused the US of “breaking away from international rules.” Finally, someone is fighting back, La Stampa rejoices:

“With the words he spoke before the French ambassadors yesterday, the master of the Élysée Palace took the risk of directly challenging American power and, after months of humiliation and subservience, breaking with the European Union’s policy of appeasement. … But after the publication of the report on American security strategy, the military intervention in Venezuela and the threats against Greenland, Macron has acknowledged the existence of two different, conflicting world views and declared it pointless, counterproductive and dangerous not to oppose Trump’s predatory policies.”
