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.
Yea….i want to see the UN pry the nukes out of Iran.
Close the UN, or move them to another country. We don’t want them here.
UN go away. You are worthless like Congress.
LMAO…………………..morons…………………………
And that will work just like banning guns….only the outlaws will have them….and use them.
It’s just like the gun control argument….ban nukes,then only rouge nations & terrorist will have them. Screw the u n.
There’s lots of countries out there that have them
We will give up ours last
Means totally nothing. If you think Iran or North Korea would give up their nukes just because the UN bans them then you’re crazy.
UN is such a joke, they think they are going to control North Korea….they are delusional.
