    There goes the UN trying to interfere in Russia’s genocide of innocent people again. No wonder conservatives and fascists hate the UN so much.

          Its supposed to be a diplomatic forum but that is absolutely useless when you have a “security council” where each member can block everything. Furthermore letting countrys like Saudi Arabia take head of human rights council. Or all if the other shows of it being almost completely useless.

            The UN isn’t just the security council or the General Assembly, they do so much more. Eg. ICAO is extremely relevant, just to name one organization. Again: you think the UN doesn’t work because you don’t know what they do. Parts of it don’t work, lots do, same as any other huge transnational organization.

        1. I don’t think you understand what and how much the UN actually does and how many billion people depend on it.

        2. When the UN formed, it was the russians under Stalin that insisted on establishing a Veto right for the security council members. The US was opposed to this.

        Fun how the problem always circles back to russia.
