Turn that futile debating society into a park, and send those freeloading bureaucrats home. If there is a single worthless entity in this world, it is the United Nations. It has been worthless for years, but in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the full moral bankruptcy of the UN is on display. Six weeks ago, the current chair of the Security Council invaded a neighboring country on a pretext even thinner than that used by the United States to invade Iraq, and unlike the United States, Russia intends to absorb Ukraine as its very own. The fact that the UN is incapable of dealing with such a fundamental challenge to the peaceful international order portrays its complete uselessness.
Sure, Russia’s war crimes will be alleged for years, perhaps forever, given the epoxy that carefully lubricates the international legal system. But the evidence has been paraded before the world. It’s unreal only to Russia, where it is, in Soviet speak, a grave provocation, and in China and India, two of Russia cheer leaders.
If you’d like a cherry atop this morally bankrupt international cake, I present the UN Human Rights Council, where Human Rights are discussed by the likes of North Korea, Venezuela, China, and Somalia. Israel and Taiwan, two actual, not pretend democracies need not apply.
