Fuck the UN, reason #91142069

The United Nations has decided to exclude the terrorist organization, Hamas, from its blacklist containing states and non-state actors which committed acts of sexual violence in 2023.

The UN claimed it excluded Hamas due to lack of credible evidence. The UN report also excluded Russia from the list, despite evidence of sexual violence committed by Russian soldiers against women in Ukraine

Worthless.

Also:

Saudi Arabia has been chosen as the chair of the UN commission that is supposed to promote gender equality and empower women around the world, after an unopposed bid for leadership condemned by human rights groups because of the kingdom’s “abysmal” record on women’s rights.

The Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), by “acclamation” on Wednesday, as there were no rival candidates and no dissent at the CSW’s annual meeting in New York.

Alwasil was endorsed by the group of Asia-Pacific states on the commission. When the outgoing chair, the Filipino envoy to the UN, Antonio Manuel Lagdameo, asked the 45 members if they had any objections there was silence in the chamber.

The UN Security Council has China and Russia as permanent members that can pretty much veto anything.

'nuff said.

EDIT: Lest RickDickhard come in here with his anti-American BS and say the same can be said of the United States of America, my only question is which of those three countries is actually a democracy?

You should be carping about the IDF and other Israeli bodies being excluded too, given the extensive history on that front. I wonder why you aren't.

Holy fuck this thread was like a bat signal.

I'm not clear why being supposedly a democracy legitimises the veto, particularly given that it's regularly used to override the wishes of the rest of the world including other democracies. It's a reflection of power relations, nothing more.

OK, that is some really stupid fucking shit and does not help anything. Hamas is certainly a terrorist organization that is seeking violenbce against Isreal and jews in general. You really cannot be neutral and ref things when you seem to be ignoring the attacks of hamas on Isreal and we all saw what happened on Oct 7th.

They put saudi arabia in charge of gender equality? Was Andrew Tate not available because of his sex trafficking troubles?

At least it looks like the UN is as serious about running the world as the repugs in america are about running the US.

Pardon me as I need to check my tickets to hell to see if I can upgrade.

He likes to make declarative statements and thinks they shouldn’t be questioned. Because he makes “jokes” that gives him a pass with most people. It doesn’t make him right though.

Russia sacrificed 300,000 men and women to defeat Hitler, they earned that spot .

There were actually 8.7 million Russian troops who died in World War 2. And 19 million civilians.

But that's not a good reason for them to be able to veto decisions 80 years later.

300,000? LOL student of history!

Everyone who studies history must have encyclopedic knowledge about every period in history just like an eye doctor must have an encyclopedic knowledge of the human anatomy.

You have got to be borderline retarded if you think one of the main players in WW2 suffered only 300,000 casualties

Can't argue with that.

But none of us should be surprised that the MAGAtard would throw his support behind Russia.

I didn’t say anything about the veto, I was talking about their permanent seat at the table.

Eight years later and you’re still pushing Russiagate. I guess once propaganda sets in it’s hard to get out. Here’s a hint, when it’s Hillary Clinton saying it, it’s probably not true.

And of course Russia backed the Nazis in the early stages of the war and even applied to join the Axis. So hard to feel too sorry about them.

Eight years later and you're still a Russian asset!

Yes, we can trust our friend Putin when he says he didn't do it, when every Intel source in the US, and all our allies, say he did - and the Russians now freely admit they did on their own state run TV.

And we have the minutes of the meeting where Putin ordered Russia to help.

You are like one of those guys that didn't want to believe smoking was bad for you and claimed it was all propaganda as you got lung cancer and died.

Yeah, Vlad cuts me a check weekly.

No, the worst part is that you're doing it for free

Actually, considering he probably pays for all the shit the idiot YouTubers hawk, he’s paying to do it.

I’m one of those guys who saw that the Muller report exonerated Trump of Russian collusion and I’m one of those guys who knows that Hillary’s campaign paid for a fake dossier on Trump and the FBI lied to a FISA court judge to obtain a warrant to spy on him.

That’s not how assets work.

Ignoring all the rest of the evidence because you have the intelligence of a cucumber. And of course you also believe in the Hunter Biden laptop conspiracy that turned out to be a Russian attack against Biden that Trump's team and the GOP congress actively tried to push in the US - because you have the intelligence of a cucumber.

Trump's team met with a Russian spy to get dirt on Clinton -and have admitted to that fact. Trump's campaign manager give internal polling data to Russia, and the GOP magically switched from 'supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression' to 'damn that Putin fellow is super smart and a damn handsome man.' The FBI agent who cleared Trump of collusion in 2016 retired and immediately went to work for a Russian oligarch laundering money and is now in prison for it. The same oligarch that owned Paul Manafort, paying him $20 million that Manafort ended up being charged with for tax evasion - but Trump pardoned him. Just like Trump pardoned Roger Stone who helped coordinate the wikileaks campaign against Hilary that used data hacked by Russian military intelligence. Who we have the minutes of the meeting where Putin directed them to help Trump in 2016. Which they now admit to regularly on state run TV.

Hell, Assange's lawyer said that Rohrbacher came to him and offered him a pardon from Trump as long as he claimed he didn't get the intel from Russia - and Assange tried to lie that it was Seth Rich that provided the data for him. No pardon though. LOL.

Don't worry, that cough will get better. Not an issue. Cigarrettes are your friend!

Hell, remember when Trump suggested that Russia help oversee our election security? LOL.

Can't believe people are this dumb. Astonishing how stupid the Trumpers are.

Oh yeah? Surely you can quote that part of the Muller report that exonerated Trump.

FF knows what he's saying is complete bullshit 99% of the time, but he's convinced himself that repeating partisan lies counts as "owning the libs," so he's never going to stop.
