US Blocks Security Council Statement Condemning IDF Killing of Gazans Seeking Aid

No, its a full throat-ed support of genocide. Its Joe Biden doing this.

If you don't want Trump for president in 2024, then call for Joe Biden to do better.

I think we're just more lucid and aware of what our government has been doing since the ink on the Declaration of Independence was signed.

People don't say this often, but the quality of the coverage of this horrifying ordeal is the best I've ever really seen. There's plenty of shortcomings, but the wars in Vietnam and Iraq and even against Isis weren't covered this closely or clearly.

I think Biden et al are operating as they always have, it's just the level of public awareness of it all that makes this so shocking.

They can't. These moves are being purchased.

The veto is why the Security Council, and the UN in general, works. Its ultimate goal is to stop global war. And by "global war" it means wars that pulls in all the superpowers at once against each other, not all war on the globe.

The veto has made it successful because it prevents the UN from acting against the interests of any of the superpowers that can sustain a war against the rest of the UN. And because of that, the superpowers keep diplomatic channels through the UN open at all times because none of them will ever be at war with the UN itself.
