'The old order is not coming back,' Carney says in provocative speech at Davos

Mike Carney leading with Thucydides’ quote on “strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must”. Thucydides does not offer the line, “The strong do what they can,” as a neutral analysis of how international affairs operate. He offers it as an expression of the reckless arrogance that brought about the destruction of the Athenian Empire.

Impressive seeing western world leaders challenging the “international rules-based order”, and embracing quite Third Worldist talking points related to “middle powers uniting”.
