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.
That’s gonna work…..
they forget Obama’s gone… he would’ve complied (‘n that was their purpose, as they know damned well no one else would be so stupid as to!)… UN-EXIT NOW!!!!
Kick them OUT already!!! We’re done with the FOOLS!!! Show them the EXIT sign. I’m sure we will NEVER SEE the MILLIONS they OWE THE USA!!! Kicking them out will Save us a Load of Money & Grief in the future !!!!!
I think if they were to move to North Korea, they would have the freedom to do as they please, then if they get attacked, they won’t be in our country, and we won’t be responsible for responding. It will help us tremendously! Out of sight, out of mind.
I’d like to see them try to enforce this especially in the PRK.
“We” do? And enforced how?
Nice point.
Good point.
Like the old Zen aphorism: “You can’t unring a bell.”
F**k off!!!
Keep on banning and see how much good that does!!!
