He has his work cut out to prevent the UN going the same way as the League of Nations.

I don't envy him

Unlikely to do anything at all.
Why would he be any different?

The UN is a waste of time AND my money.

Did he violate the TOS? I think you're supposed to use the Feedback button when asking for a ban. I think you're breaking the TOS by asking for the ban! OMG!

One can only hope the UN goes the way of the League of Nations!

Well, I do think an international organisation is a good thing, but if the UN continues to sideline itself and not take action when numerous of its resolutions are being ignored, then I can't see any other outcome than the UN ending up in obscurity.

Personally, I do support the UN, multilateralism has to be a better way to develop a lasting peace than the US invading places all the time - look where THAT leads! The UN does need more power though to deal with rogue nations.

Much like the Theory of Evolution .. the UN works .. in theory

They get thru the talking part better than any lawyer, but when it comes to action, they're useless.

Violence is so much better a way to deal with problems than talking them out! I think I'll take an example from your philosophy and smack my woman next time she has a problem instead of talking about it.
