Consider Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea earlier this year. Though the move clearly violated Ukraine’s territorial integrity, 11 countries voted against the UN resolution condemning the action, and 58 countries – including all of the non-Western powers – abstained.
以今年早些时候俄罗斯入侵和吞并克里米亚为例。尽管该行动明显侵犯了乌克兰领土完整，但仍有11个国家反对联合国谴责该行动的决议，另有58个国家——包括所有非西方强国——弃权。显然，全球实力平衡已经改变。
