Something quite extraordinary and unprecedented came to my mind while thinking about the reactions of the „international community“ toward Russia at the UN.
Thinking out loud here:
What if Putin and co. (maybe together with players in China and India and others) have taken into account the possibility (even more so after and before the special military operation started) that "the west" could go as far as excluding Russia and/or others (like China) from the UN? And/or they themselves could be forced to decide to finally leave the UN? Me thinks it isn't unlikely that Putin and co. would have thought about that possibility.
So, what if Putin and co. have prepared a plan to actually exit the UN/international community/west (only if needed and as "the last resort") and create a new world order/charter together with China, India and others (minus "the west") INSTEAD? If something like this could be in some of the possible plan scenarios, I'm assuming that this would also mean that Russia (and those other countries who get out of the UN and into that "new world order" under Putins leadership) would legally not be bound by the current UN charter and/or international laws, and instead will be bound to that new charter?! What if that new international charter is drafted by Putin himself (he is a lawyer!) and will include Russia, China and others at first, and will include a much more refined/binding/hard version or implementation of the current international laws, that makes it much harder to get away with what the UN and "international community" did for so many years? What if Putin has drafted a new charter that includes much clearer and safer fall back mechanisms to dispel any pathological ambitions? And what would this legally and militarily imply in terms of what Putin and co. can and can not do? Would it, for example, mean, that this "new world order" can defend itself with "all means" toward that "international community" (and/or any other country that is not in it) as long as some basic rules are met? And would this way of defending be different towards those in "the international community" compared to how it is handled inside that "new world order"?
What if Putin/Russia (and China and others), who will be in the "new international community", will then, after they are in it, very quickly, freely invite all other nations to join them, INSTEAD of the UN based "international community"?: which would be an invitation to all states on the planet (including "evil" states like the US and Israel who are at the UN). But, in order to join that "new world order", Putin has drafted very concrete and binding requirements that those states who want to join have to fulfill, maybe in line with how he managed/changed russia after he came into power (like for example, not prosecuting wrong doings in the past, but starting at zero; from now on just focusing on very biding and strict rules that have to be met). And those requirements are monitored and secured in a much clearer and securer way than ever before? In the short term, probably none of the countries in the "international community/west" will try to join that "new world order", but in the long run (after extensive suffering in those western countries and/or regime change from within, due to a very unsatisfied public), some, if not many, of those western countries, might be forced (primarily by their own populations) to also join that "new world order".
By a scenario like the above, Putin could theoretically turn the tables drastically, whereby for example, the actual evil states at the moment, are quickly the ones being separated from the real "internation community" under Putins rule. It would be a reality check and a hard one for the west. It would also represent a weeding out, this time around though, the other way around, in which the real weeds (western crazy states) are separated from the rest (and most productive and numerous) part of the world.
