The facade of principles-based foreign policy falls pretty quickly once interests are at play. The US used to be a supporter of an international trade framework, based on the WTO. Now, the US is probably the WTO's greatest antagonist. The US talks about human rights and international law, but then backs Israel as the latter flattens Gaza and kills tens of thousands of civilians in a massive turkey shoot.
