21st Century

The present 21^st century world is overall characterised by, apparently willing, piecemeal abandonment (at state or nation level) of, now nearly all, the restraints and considerations of morality, fairness, honour and national and international law. Led by the USA and followed by Britain (and understandably to a point) by whoever we are in conflict or disagreement with. A historian might label this period ‘The Return to Barbarity’.
