    Such a great idea to make an international organisation for diplomacy where the nations that are already dominant also have complete power to stop anything they don’t like.

    Surely this is a credible institution and not just a respectable veil over imperialism.

    That’s right just sit there and frown at the guy vetoing instead of doing your duty to humanity and punching him in the face.

        Hey now, there exist international organizations to perpetuate Russian and Chinese imperialism too! Except the Russian ones are always dysfunctional as fuck and never actually work out.

          And the Chinese ones almost always work exclusively on economic Swords of Damocles.

          In a world with an egalitarian UN, but no great powers in it, everyone is just going to pay attention to what the great powers are off doing on their own. Nobody would care what the UN is doing.

            Almost like the entire concept of peaceful diplomacy with global superpowers is foundationally flawed, which is my point.

            That’s no excuse to give the big players absolute veto power. They could have limited it only to some specific matters where the fact they are big players (and not obstacles) actually matters.

      It’s so funny to me that you guys turn to violence so quickly to get what you want, like you start talking like you care about things being fair but literally can’t help but show your true colors ‘Anyone who doesn’t do what I want should be beaten!’

      You love imperialism, you just think you should be in charge of it lol
