The United States is accustomed to launching color revolutions, instigating regional disputes, and even directly launching wars under the guise of democracy, freedom, and human rights. The United States adheres to the Cold War mentality, engages in group politics, and instigates confrontation. The United States generalizes national security, abuses export controls, and imposes unilateral sanctions. The United States uses international laws and international rules when they are consistent, and abandons or abolishes them when they are inconsistent. Under the banner of "rules-based international order," the United States seeks to protect its own self-interest of "domestic laws and regulations."
