There might be those with good intentions who participate in United Nations’ debates and votes, but for the most part, the organization is useless. This is easily demonstrated. It is supposed to be an advocate and force for world peace, yet there have been multiple wars in progress throughout the organization’s existence.
And when it comes down to it, does anyone really believe that if some of the world’s major powers were determined to go to war that a vote by the UN would deter them? Even more ridiculous is the idea that it can force nations to disarm. At best it provides physical space where belligerents can hurl insults at each other with little fear of violence breaking out on the spot.
At worst, it’s a waste of time and money, and provides a false hope to peoples and nations that really would like to live in peace.
It’s current vote on banning nuclear weapons is an excellent example.
More on this vote on page two.
Sorry guys. We may be part of your club. But you sure as hell aren’t part of ours.
Fk the UN…
they can decide all they want…the us needs out
Bet that works as well as Chicago’s gun laws.
Oh yeah. Guess they already forgot Nikki Haley reminded them they are not the boss of the United States..
Well aren’t they special…. Someone better check to see if we still have our nukes
They think that they have that power when in fact the only power they have is what each country allows. Try getting into Iran to monitor nuclear weapons manufacturing. Won’t happen!
Un has no authority to ban anything
Nobody cares what the U.N. thinks.
Good luck with that…
