minus-squareeinkorn@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoVetoes need to be abolished. But since the veto powers will veto any such motion, the UN is going to stay a toothless tiger.
minus-squarechaosCruiser@futurology.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoI propose we switch to preferential voting, rolling the dice or thunderdome for deciding these matters. Personally, I would really like to see Trump wielding a chainsaw, but PV is my second choice.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 days agoI’d love to see a bare knuckle fight to the death between Trump and Zelenskyy or pretty much any world leader who’s in reasonably good shape. Not necessarily to decide anything, just for shits and giggles 🤷

minus-squareGsus4@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 days agoThat’s how we get president Camacho to succeed trump.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoCamacho was a good president. He listened to Not Sure (eventually).

minus-squarechaosCruiser@futurology.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoThat guy is ripped! If he also has the skills to handle weapons, he would win just about any thundervote.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agoWould be a significant improvement tbh… Can we just sentence Trump to rehabilitation now?
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 days agothe UN is performing as intended. that is, to maintain power for the old super powers and prevent anyone else from complaining too much.
minus-squareWomble@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-25 days agoA less pesemistic spin is, it is allowing the nuclear armed states of the world to discuss what they agree on (or can at least acquiesce to) without direct confrontation risking nuclear armegeddon.
