      Well the point of the UN is to get people yelling at each other rather than starting world wars and to provide humanitarian aid. They do pretty well on the whole, if the fucking US would just stop vetoing.

        Russia is a permanent member of the security council. Russia. The country currently invading Ukraine, who undermined US elections, who shot at a nuclear power plant and dug trenches at Chernobyl, who sow the seeds of discontent at every chance they get. Russia. Yeah the US vetoing aint the problem here.

          You do realise a thing can have more than one problem, and i ain’t running a competition here, right?

          Anyway if the UN were valueless, the pissy big boys wouldn’t be so keen on having their voice heard there.

      an ash tray on a motorcycle would at least look cool. The UN is as useful as an umbrella during a tornado.
