Indeed. And by leading with that example, the US will find itself tasting its own medicine when (not if) power ratios change. Same thing happened with cold war: once the US abused russia's weakness to increse its area of influence, all hope of moving to a fairer international order vanished. Russia remembers that. The US has been relatively mild in abusing its power, compared to other historical powers, but is guilty of a very big crime: the undermining of the nascent international order. It will come in due time, but it has been unnecessarily delayed.
