- libertine 2y agoThe UN is in need of serious reform. For example, it's hard to comprehend how a country like Russia is not suspended? A country which signed the Charter, and is member of the security council, is trying to annex a country of 40 million people, claiming they and their culture don't exist. They don't even hide the genocide intent, and yet Guterres is visiting the BRICS conference in Russia legitimizing the regime. Despicable.
- throw310822 2y agoWhatever Russia is doing pales in comparison with what Israel has done for the past 70 years.
- Teever 2y agoAnd if you compare what Russia has done in the same time frame?
- throw310822 2y agoOh well. We certainly didn't help it doing it or gave it diplomatic support, in any case. Besides, ethnic cleansing and genocide are their own special kind of evil- I'm not sure Russia is guilty also of that.
- stouset 2y agoPutin’s Russia is quite literally guilty of ethnic cleansing, and not only with Ukrainians.

- jedimind 2y agoyou are perfectly correct, you are being downvoted because zionists hate facts that poke holes in their false narratives.
- libertine 2y agoSo you're dismissing Ukrainian soldiers, who have no choice but to defend themselves, their country, and their families from genocide?
- aaomidi 2y agoNo I was comparing the deliberate targeting of civilians.
- libertine 2y agoWould you consider medical facilities civilian targets? Hospitals, Maternities? Because Russia has struck more than 1.500 medical facilities, including a Maternity and a Children's Hospital. By the way, this is also a common tactic, which was recurrently used in Chechnya.
- aaomidi 2y agoI'm comparing the number of people killed. I'm not here defending Russia. One of these we have 0 control over (Russia). The other one (Israel) we're funding, supporting, aiding, and abetting.

- nimbius 2y agoIn 1986, then-U.S. Sen. Joe Biden said, “Supporting Israel is the best $3 billion investment we make. Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” Israel is a satellite state of the US in all but name. You'd have a better shot at dissolving the UN entirely than suspending Israel. What ive always wondered is why the US hasn't put Israel on the security council, considering it is a nuclear armed state.

- flappyeagle 2y agoThere are no Israelis in the cabinet as far as I know. Are you saying that Jewish Americans are secretly agents for Israel?
- goldfishgold 2y agoBlinken’s gf was an early supporter of Israel: https://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/15/obituaries/maurice-blinken-86-early-backer-of-israel.html https://www.nytimes.com/1986/07/15/obituaries/maurice-blinke.... Biden’s current “envoy” to Lebanon and Israel, Amos Hochstein, is a former IDF soldier born and raised in Jerusalem.
- shsisjdhdh 2y agoThere’s plenty of non Jewish Zionists in the US as well. And I don’t think anyone is really being secretive here. The US is taking actions that benefit Israel to the detriment of America.
- Asparagus7426 2y agoThis is exactly what people are saying when they are referring to 'zionists', everything else is just a red herring. Unfortunately even well intentioned people are ignorant of this.

- EasyMark 2y agoI’m fine with that as long as numerous other countries get kicked for similar acts, it has to be a package deal tho
- catlikesshrimp 2y agoAs I see it, UN at least is documenting everything as it happens to its members. Hopefully it can be kept unbiased for a long time. If you start kicking left and right, there will be no UN to overlook events. Maybe without a UN, we would already be having a WWIII. It is impossible to weight its influence, but I very much doubt it is having any nefarious effect. No need to sledgehammer the world until it gets better
- stogot 2y agoToo much faith/credit in the UN. With the security council, not much has or can happen. Beyond that there’s also incompetence. Look up jadotville or Dag Hammarskjöld (suspected to have been assasinated)
