      oh boy the UN sends another strongly worded letter.

      the UN is just a dog and pony show, they have no power at all, anywhere.

      The UN has no power against the United States. The UN was setup to favor western powers and ideally prevent them from having direct war with one another again. Until the US bombs another Western country in the UN there is so reason to look to the UN for anything but empty condemnation.

        Yes, they can veto, but others should at least be going on the record and REQUIRING the US to use its veto.

        This is some of the stupidest shit I hear on a regular basis. All my childhood, we were taught the phrase ‘checks and balances’ and then you come across shit like this. No one thought about any one of the UN powers becoming a problem? Does no one plan for these systems designed to prevent abuse to be… abused? “Sorry. Can’t tell them to stop the genocide. Go ask your mother.” Complete enabling bullshit.

          The US simply would not join it it could not veto the security council. Same goes for the other permanent members. So there is no plan because powerful nations don’t want there to be one.
