What a terrifying phrase, globalized enforcement of morality, it stirs images of the crusades and colonization of the americas in my mind.

It's just the typical liberal self perception of US and western foreign policy. But it's definitely a particularly extreme example, I don't know what you would even really respond to such a statement:

> "State sovereignty is the foundation of geopolitics and globalized enforcement of morality is maybe at its infancy"

I don't really even know where to begin, it could be satire?

Maybe it's a very sci-fi long term view where we have been living through the violent and misguided infancy of global enforcement of morality for centuries.
