Quote:With Russia currently executing an invasion of Ukraine under a completely absurd pretense, costing untold numbers of innocent lives, the reactions are coming in hard and fast.

For the left, the coping mechanisms have already kicked into high gear. Donald Trump, who isn’t even president and has nothing to do with the current situation, is being discussed more than Vladimir Putin himself at times. After all, they couldn’t be possibly be expected to hold Joe Biden, the actual President of the United States, accountable for his incredible failures.

Another scapegoat has emerged that connects to Trump as well. As the UN Security Council convened after the invasion began, an absurd spectacle played out, with Russia getting to chair the meeting. That prompted condemnations from figures like Ben Rhodes, the abject mediocrity behind Barack Obama’s foreign policy.

I know, right? If only there had been a president who had spent considerable energy going after the United Nations, exposing its corruption, and attempting to reform it. Wait, that’s exactly what happened while Trump was president — and he was overwhelmingly condemned for it by the smart set.

Remember when then-UN Ambassador Nikki Haley walked out of the UN Human Rights Council because of its gross anti-Semitism towards Israel, and the left took the side of a bunch of despots? Remember when Trump spoke to the UN and expressed the insanity of the organization supporting dictatorships while simultaneously lecturing Western nations? And then every mainstream media outlet rushed to own the orange man instead of holding the UN accountable?

Republicans remember. In fact, I’d be short-selling matters by only giving Trump credit for opposing the UN. The GOP at large, to its credit, has been begging Democrats for decades to understand the UN is a waste of time and money. The push to pull funding has been ongoing for a very long time. Had Democrats put aside their partisanship for one second and given their support to such a move, it could have forced much-needed reforms to take place. Instead, every single time a Republican suggested the UN was a problem that needed to be dealt with, they were excoriated by the powers that be, from Democrat politicians to the news industry.

Now, Democrats want to play tough on the issue of the UN? Yeah, I’m not buying that at all. We tried to warn them, and they spit in our faces. Besides, you can bet these critiques won’t go any further than social media. Is the Biden administration going to actually suggest real steps to change what’s happening at the UN? Not a chance in the world that happens.

In short, Rhodes and the rest can go jump in a lake with their virtue-signaling. When they are ready to admit how wrong they were and actually do something about the problem, maybe, and that’s a big maybe, we’ll hear them out.

During the meeting last night, they told the Russian UN Ambassador to call Moscow. He told them he wasn't waking the foreign minister up for this.

The U.N. has been a bad joke for years. Consider that some of the worst human rights violators sat for years on the panel that supposedly stood against that. Then the example of the security council being chaired by a Russian. How about allowing China in? Now, the Chinese sit in leadership positions on many committees. Anti-semitism is rampant in that body.

I've thought for a long time that the organization itself is irredeemingly corrupt, is a seat of power for a bunch of globalists and needs to be defunded by the U.S. and kicked off of our shores. I struggle to find one positive thing it has done for the world.

The UN??!!!! FKN REALLY??!!!

does anyone think ANY cabal style criminal cares about the avg. joe or ‘law’ across any fk’n pond…

I live in dumbfk-land..

We should have evicted them 30 years ago.

Not only is it a joke, but due to its physical location in NY, the UN has been a foreign spy nesting site since its inception.

Never has made much sense to me having it in NYC. That's one thing I think its even more toothless predecessor, the League of Nations, got right - Geneva, Switzerland is the perfect location in a neutral country.

Given the anti-American vitriol sometimes on display at UNGA, it might surprise Americans today that when the location of the U.N. headquarters was originally decided, the United States was the overwhelming consensus choice.

At that time, coming out of WWII, the USA was almost the only country left standing.
