Having just seen the video where the farmer and his son were murdered, I can't say I blame them.

It’s an act of disgust and great disrespect to Russia, a country that deserves no respect. The world is sending an unmistakable message to Putin. He’s alone.

The only thing I will agree to is the UN is a worthless organization, but at the same time why would you want them to sit there and listen?

What point are you really trying to make here?

I mean, the UN only has what power it does because the various nations involved let it.

You can't expect them to do more when they're not allowed to.

You seem quite offended that Lavrov was spurned.

That would be the point. UN is about as useful as tits on a bull.

Their walking out, fine. But what else? Anything? I'm skeptical anything of significance from the UN.

Not at all. That they walked out is quite appropriate.
But other than this empty symbolic act, I'm skeptical that anything more of significance will come from the UN.

Are you kidding?

When was the last time that many diplomats turned their backs and walked out on someone from russia speaking at the UN?

Go ahead and keep supporting putin. You have that right but I just want to know, why don't you just move to russia?

Here are some of the results of putin.

Watch it.

Agreed.
But on a serious note: Given the UN's track record, placing the greatest abuser nations on the human rights council, for example, ain't gonna happen.

Zoom! The point in my post went right over your head.

I have no support for Putin (why is it the left throws that baseless accusation around like it's free candy?).
My point is that the UN is a feckless, useless, and by now pointless entity which hasn't done much of anything except insure it's own bureaucracy continues to exist, survive and grow in expenses.
Or did you completely miss that in that particular post and the follow up posts?

I was wondering if there was a way to kick people out of the UN, is that even possible?

And this was at a UN human rights talk to boot

Do please elaborate what usefulness the UN has demonstrated in it's existence, especially in recent years, where all you hear from them is their Global Climate Change fear mongering, which coincidentally hands them control of vast global money movement and to whom that money should be taken, and to whom it should go. (Follow the money!)

So far, I think it fair to say that the UN little more than a useless and ineffectual bureaucratic largess which has only pushed the leftist and globalist agenda, with no actual actions of consequence, of impact, having made any people's lives any better, except perhaps their minor contribution to the Korean war in the 50's, but nothing of significant since then.

Doesn't even seem that the UN can even manage to control their own all that much.
