Nice. It’s not at all that the “iron clad” defence of this monstrous entity has revealed what had long been known about the west and its ridiculous post war institutions- like NATO - which literally absorbed Nazi officials into its ranks. They ain’t destroying shit. If anything this situation has been very clarifying for the rest of us who didn’t or couldn’t see it before.

People paying attention saw how little power the UN has over the US during the build up to the Iraqi conflict.

But again my point, the UN being an institution built by Empire to support Empire, is reflected in this salient Iraq example. It’s odd to think they didn’t have the power to stop Empire when their very existence is there to facilitate western global hegemony.
