When we come across anyone who thinks differently than we do, we simply call him or her a disseminator of disinformation, a liar, and nothing more need be said.

Why US Hegemony Is Incompatible with a ‘Rules-Based International Order’
Sam Fraser | Quincy Institute/Responsible Statecraft - TRANSCEND Media Service,
31 Oct 2022
“It is clear that, going forward, the laudable goal of creating a global order based on international law and mutually agreeable rules of conduct is incompatible with U.S. hegemony — or for that matter, the hypothetical hegemony of any other power. Any state possessing a preponderance of power will, as the U.S. has, reject external restraints on that power. Any “rules-based order” put forward by a hegemon will be wielded in service of hegemony, not the other way around.”
