- mmjaa 9y agoHopefully, the democratic public. Realistically though, authoritarian power brokers.
- slamdance 9y agoI apologize for the rabbit hole. But I must ask: the "democratic public" of North Korea? or just "mob rule" in general? the "authoritarian power brokers" of the US? or Russia (i.e. Ukraine, Odessa, etc...)?, China (i.e. India, Tibet, Myanmar vs. Rohingyas, etc...)? The line has to be drawn somewhere. The UN has proven to be quite useless.
