The United Nations (UN) was originally established after World War II to promote peace in the world. It's no secret that it has been a complete failure at this. Let's start with the present and go back. Last year the Russians invaded Ukraine for the purpose of conquering it and re-establishing the old Soviet Union. Have you heard any condemnation from the UN about the Ukraine invasion? If they have, I've not heard it. The Russians are committing horrible war crimes against humanity in Ukraine. Where is the outrage? The Russians have bombed hospitals, children centers and leveled most of Ukraine. Where is the outrage from the UN?
The UN has a big microphone; they could make use of it regularly but yet it's silent. This is par for the course. When have you heard the UN make any attempts to stop a conflict? Oh, yes, they have sent some soldiers to hot spots such as Lebanon and the former Yugoslavia, but what has been the result?
China has recently made it known that they want to conquer Taiwan. Did you ever hear the UN raise a fuss about it? No. Silence. This is the MO of the UN. See no evil, hear no evil. Now they do make their voices heard at times, such as for global warming, for the "woke" agenda and the like, but for world peace? Nothing. Stalin was famous for asking the question, "how many divisions does the Pope have?" The same can be said of the UN. They have no power and they refuse to use the big pulpit that they have to promote peace.
When I was studying Public Administration in college there was a saying that once a bureaucracy is established its impossible to get rid of it. This can be said of the UN. Even-though they're useless, we can't get rid of it. I would propose that we stop paying any of their costs. In business, if you fail, no one will give you money; the same should be done with the UN.
