One the same day we have two interesting announcements of just how perverse the rules of the international system have become:
1) It is completely wrong, dangerous and immoral to develop nuclear weapons outside of the established Non Proliferation Treaty, unless the US says it isn't wrong and does a back-room deal with you.
2) Democratic elections are the only way for a government to legitimately claim power, unless the US and Europe don't like the result of the elections, in which case the country must be isolated and punished until power is handed back to the old, corrupt cronies who were previously in charge.
One day we will look back on these years and marvel that the would could ever have been led by such moral vacuums.
