United Nations lets Russia and China call the shots because it is a joke

With Russia's second invasion of Ukraine in less than a decade, several countries took to the U.N. Security Council to decry Russia's actions.

Security Council members trashed Russia on Monday during the emergency meeting called at the request of Ukraine, but that's all the Security Council is good for.

Russia may be waging aggressive war, an international crime that resulted in death sentences for many of those involved in starting World War II, but Russia also holds an automatic veto over anything the Security Council could propose.

Russia even holds the presidency of the council all this month!

Aside from the joke of the Security Council, the U.N. Human Rights Council is filled with despicable regimes that relish abusing human rights, including China, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela.

The U.N. is a useless, bloated, and expensive bureaucracy that lets the world's worst governments sit on its most important councils and committees.

So long as countries such as Russia and China get outsize control over U.N. operations and resolutions, it will continue to be a disgraceful and immoral organization to which the United States should be embarrassed to give credibility money.
