Depends on what instance or post I have commented on recently!
Was it .ml and there's many notifications? sigh
Some meme I commented something I felt was witty? weeee
I doubt that too. Not because of the rest of the continent, but they seem fearful of the US and with a force on their doorstep.. seems dumb to stage an annexation
No, but under the UN charter the SC is the only ones who can decide for action that could actually stop the genocide.
You would never use this excuse if the USA vote against any country helping Ukrainians in the security council . Shouldn’t be different for any other conflict
This is an explanation, not an excuse mate. So no, it is not different from any other conflict.
If you think of it like this, let's say everyone in the General assembly or Security Council was a veto player, would they all be in control? Polish parliament lol
Bet! Sadly you face the issue of breaking against agreed upon international rules by intervening without SC mandate. So break the rules to follow the rules, or follow the rules and let a genocide happen?
There's big issues with both paths, one for the long term and the other is letting millions of innocents starve to death..
Ah alright. I have a tendency to leave bits unsaid because I assume that people can read between the lines, which I understand is difficult both over the internet and when you have no prior experience talking to someone and how they think.
I'll try to be precise. There's some theories in international relations that the hegemon controls international organisations, which is heavily debated and I personally find to be a weak theory.
The first commenter is using this to frame the UN as toothless and under US control, which it plainly ain't.
So stating that the UN is controlled by a single state is wrong. What is happening is that a veto player is effectively hindering everyone else from acting, but that is not control, it is obstruction.
In my country there has been a huge increase in both ADHD and autism diagnoses the last decades. At the same time in those years the methods to discover both diagnoses have improved greatly.
But you know, correlation does not equal causation..
The General Assembly can't take any action. That power is reserved for the Security Council which neither is controlled by a single nation as 14/15 countries vote against the US.
The only thing the condemning states can do is assist the state failing to support it's population, which in this case is Palestine. If that can't happen, states should take collective action to protect the populace. They are however hindered by Israel and the Security Council is the only one who can decide for military intervention ¯(--)/¯
So no, my reply is not logically shaky. It accurately points out that there isn't a single state controlling the UN.
Well if the UN was controlled by one nation there hardly would have been several condemnations by a majority of countries in the General Assembly regarding Israel's actions in Palestine
Having to wake up early every single day. I pray for the revolution of night owls!
