Do you see integrity in vigorously upholding some international treaties (WTO) and shying away from, and indeed axing down, others (ICC)? Do you see integrity in supporting a guy in full acknowledgement of his inhuman deeds and then calling him "evil" and staging an invasion of his country? Do you see integrity in literally telling international organisations they are "relevant" only if they support your own views? Choices that might include turning ones' back on a former ally, or arming the least venomous of a number of enemies fighting amongst themselves. Those are choices that may very well be consistent with a country's own values - support a country as long as they are run with policies that correspond to your value system. I don't see what those have to do with "integrity", which is consistency in your own values and actions.
