I don’t disagree with your general thrust and take the view that people need to fight their own battles, but you shouldn’t make the West out to be uniquely guilty of imposing its values: the Uighurs of Xinjiang and the Christians of the Middle East are both on the path to extinction right now, it’s just that the long game played by the protagonists (including Western ‘allies’ in the latter case) attracts much less attention than the short games which the West repeatedly gets itself tied up in. You can point to sovereignty and the states system all you like but it’s alternately invoked and ignored by pretty much everyone in the bear pit of international politics.
