    They also overwhelmingly have been demanding an end to the embargo on Cuba for decades, but nothing ever comes of it.

    I’m not much of a geopolitical expert, but as far as I can tell, the UN really only serves to prevent the 5 countries in the security council from going to nuclear war with each other. The rest is a side effect.

      The fact that those 5 countries are nuclear powers should be deterrent enough.

        The Silence of the Jihad Jane’s was deafening for every single one but the last one. A UN resolution was not a big deal and generally ignored for every single one but the tast one. WHY IS THAT?

          Interestingly the resolutions were unanimous.

          If only you didn’t have an agenda.

      So I don’t wanna engage with this… creature personally, but because I see a lot of this, the disparaty makes a lot of sense:

      Only one of these is the continuation of a 70-years old crime against humanity happening with explicit support from the West.

        Also completely wrong because there have been UN resolutions for every one of those.
