The Western-promoted “rules-based order” is merely a cover for colonialism, as the presumed rules have never been agreed-on by anyone and are ever-shifting from one case to another, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.

What does he mean the rules (ie, the law) has never been written down? Constitution. Policies enacted by governments (they're all written down before being voted on). That's the rules based order as opposed to the strongman's will.

The West does it's best to follow the (written down) laws. The rest of the world follows the instructions of the guys with the guns. That's easy to understand.
