Ah, got it. What does a "rules-based system" say about an anti-Russian alliance making promises that it will not grow and then it spends the next 20 years growing? Your style of "diplomacy" literally caused this by recruiting all of Russia's neighbors into an alliance against it.
False. The US doesn't give the orders.
