  UN won’t kick you out for being a genocidal dick, you want dicks to retain UN membership so everyone can yell at them - it’s a place where everyone uses their words instead of nukes

  With respect, if thats the plan its a shit one. Sure, no one has dropped the hammer yet, but aint done shit all for the suffering.

    The purpose of the UN is to get people talking in a room, as opposed to standing on opposite sides of the battlefield. To try and talk it out.

    It’s not perfect. nothing involving humans is. People seem to think it’s like World Police but it’s not.

      The purpose of the UN is to get people talking in a room,

      till one of the permanent members of the security council use their veto anyway.

      People seem to think it’s like World Police but it’s not.

      But hear me out, what if it was? Syria. Ukraine. Palestine/Israel. Georgia. Somalia. Civilians dead under the current system. I get nothings perfect, but fuck man we gotta do better than this.

        The veto only applies to security council, not geberal assembly and is a bit of a two edged sword.

        But in regards to world police? You’re trying to use a drill as a hammer. It’s not designed for that.

        Ok, UN as a world police. How does that work? What actions do they take now?
