Do you really want countries like Saudi Arabia and North Korea to have a vote in wealth redistribution?
- abalashov 4mo agoI suppose countries like KSA and DPRK would ask the same question about us.
- nradov 4mo agoFortunately we don't have to care much about questions asked by shithole countries today because the UN is virtually powerless. Let's keep it that way.
- wwind123 4mo agoIt's about how to benefit the entire human species, or at least to reduce human suffering across the board. If there is famine in North Korea, then the surplus food from the world flowing into there won't be an issue right?
- nradov 4mo agoYes, that would be an issue because it allows the regime to divert more resources to weapons. In general major famines are always caused by corrupt or incompetent political leaders rather than lack of food.
- wwind123 4mo agoFamine could be caused by drought or flood or other numerous things. When the country can't produce enough food, its people would need to rely on food from outside.
- nradov 4mo agoYes, and when the local officials are corrupt or incompetent then little off that outside food aid reaches the people who need it. That's why giving food to a country like North Korea does more harm than good.
