**“Ah yes — ‘Western values’ — the ones beaten into Indians, starved into Africans, firebombed into the Vietnamese, and sanctioned into Iraqis.
You mean the kind of values Russia was supposed to absorb at gunpoint? Or the ones China ‘failed’ to adopt while watching the Opium Wars and NATO encirclement play out?
The world didn’t reject Western values. It just remembered who delivered them and how.
Now the rest of us are just waiting to watch you choke on your own doctrine.”**
