This is part of the long-term decline of the international rules-based order that was ushered in with US global leadership after the Cold War.President George H.W. Bush pushed for multilateral approaches and a “new world order” in confronting Saddam Hussein’s aggression against Kuwait. The Syrian regime even appears to back the LNA side, which is also backed by Egypt, while Turkey and Iran back the GNA in Tripoli. Having already sent its military and mercenaries to various countries, it is ready to do more in the Caucuses or Libya. Will the US work with Russia, Turkey or France on Libya?
