Putting China and Russia on the United Nations Human rights council is a travesty! They have so many thousands of people in gulags or in concentration camps as political prisoners.
This is like putting the Fox in charge of the hen house.
We should cut back funding to the United Nations.
This is the equivalent of putting Black Lives Matter Marxists in charge of the police department.

We don't call them gulags, we simply call them cages or detention centers, so how are we any different?

PO1 H Gene Lawrence Because evwn if talking about a problem in the UN accompliahes nothing, it accomplishes something. The longer we talk about it the UN, the longer we are NOT going to war. It buya us time to allow our State Department (and other nation's equivalents) to do their job.
Even empty talk is often better than military action. (Not always - sometimes you have to strike. But often enough.) The UN provides an excellent place to talk.

SFC Casey O'Mally - Let's work to make the UN better, not walk away from it. As you say, something is better than nothing.

MSG Stan Hutchison The benefit of the UN is that it has very little binding power. The UN cannot force any nation to comply. This is great because we can be a member without surrendering our own sovereignty.
The *problem* with the UN is that is has very little binding power...
While the UN cannot force us to do anything, we also cannot forces others through the medium of the UN. Is the glass half full or half empty?

SFC Casey O'Mally - You are correct and I do not know the resolution to that problem. But talking is always better than fighting.
