Politics Without Boundaries or Madness?

The article addresses a worrying trend in global politics, where the logic of power and a disregard for rules and legality are becoming increasingly prevalent. It cites examples from Venezuela, Ukraine, the Middle East, and the United States, where the idea of 'acquiring' territories and ignoring international law are resurfacing. The author emphasizes that this trend is not an aberration, but a return to an era where power trumps rules. For small states like Cyprus, the decline of international law and tolerance of faits accomplis are particularly dangerous. Furthermore, the author expresses concern about the internal political situation in Cyprus, which is characterized by scandals and a lack of institutional seriousness, rather than substantial governance.
