lol, we're going to dismantle international law to suit the Israelis, and I'm here for it.

@sickburnbro not needed. The ICJ hands over the verdict to the UN Security Council, to take action, to brutally violate Israel's sovereign butside and enforce the ICJ rule. And the US just veto it

@Helgi yes, but remember these are people that have been pushing the importance of judges for a long time, so to have judges go against them mean the judges must be destroyed

@sickburnbro that just emphasized the major flaw of all the UN - Security Council veto right members can do whatever the hell they want. The only thing they risk is that other countries could send aid to victims of their aggression. The US once sent aid to Seoul, Vietnam's government, Somoza's Contras, Mujahideen in Soviet occupied Afghanistan. All was legit, mostly. Because, Kim, PDPA, Vietkong, Sandinistas were all illegitimate terrorists, not recognized governments

@Helgi well, there isn't just a "the major flaw", the UN itself is a mess. All you need to do is look at the League of Nations to understand.

The Security Council veto scheme is the only reason the UN exists, otherwise the US and the Soviet Union wouldn't have joined.

@sickburnbro they more like joined already, the WWII Allies framework. The US then added Taiwan as "China", and it had veto rights, CCP China replaced it only in Nixon times. France and Britain could really provide security for the large parts of the world, because they controlled all those countries. Owned India too. Germany or Japan of course received nothing, they lost the war

@Helgi from wikipedia, so take with care:
"Following the 1943 Moscow Conference and Tehran Conference, in mid-1944, the delegations from the Allied "Big Four", the Soviet Union, the UK, the US and the Republic of China, met for the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in Washington, D.C. to negotiate the UN's structure,[18] and the composition of the UN Security Council quickly became the dominant issue. France, the Republic of China, the Soviet Union, the UK and US were selected as permanent members of the Security Council; the US attempted to add Brazil as a sixth member but was opposed by the heads of the Soviet and British delegations.[19] The most contentious issue at Dumbarton and in successive talks proved to be the veto rights of permanent members. The Soviet delegation argued that each nation should have an absolute veto that could block matters from even being discussed, while the British argued that nations should not be able to veto resolutions on disputes to which they were a party."

@sickburnbro Britain was right, that's not how democracy works. Criminals blocking investigations against themselves. Looks exactly like the IDF claiming they'd investigate their own possible war crimes )) And Republic of China indeed was fighting Japan all the war, and those Mao's thugs were hiding in the mountains, to plan mass murder of civillians, cowards! Terrorists!! Unlucky part of the US, modern CCP looks very similar to Kuomingtan of the past, and Taiwan could just defect to the baddies one day

@Helgi yes, of course, but that's another flaw - democracies are only workable amongst a similar people. The greeks knew this. So a "planet wide democracy" is just silliness, and would have immediately become what we're seeing in the US - just groups abusing rules to hurt others.

@sickburnbro they're called representative republic not without a reason. And how representatives Matt Gaetz and MTG even managed to get into the House? I'll bet it was heavy gerrymandering, and campaign money donated by Russian mafia in Miami. That would explain many things. One of those things "how black majority state could send two white senator racists from KKK"

@Helgi remember, "democracy" isn't some cure-all-salve, it's why the founding fathers didn't want a pure democracy - they were trying to have representation without as many downsides.

But now senators are publicly elected, and not elected by the state, which was by design.

@sickburnbro senators also could look fishy, first JD Vance who are said is funded by Peter Thiel, so he spreads disinfo about some aid money to Ukraine. But there's no money to Ukraine, there's money to US companies. And obsolete weapons, to Ukraine. With price tags as they're brand new.
There's also Ron Paul, who voted against that bill that takes Russian frozen money to fund US companies, and they produce some ammo to Ukraine. Maybe he loves international terrorists. Would he oppose the idea of looting frozen Iranian money?! Or Taliban's money?!

@Helgi The problem with taking the "frozen" money from those countries is in most of those cases the money taken is, by everyone's agreement belonging to those countries, and it's just a giant fuck you.

The reason to not want to do it is that is hurts trust in intentional monetary settlement methods which are usually the method those funds as "acquired"

@sickburnbro but there can't be trust in monetary settlement with criminals, who invade neighbors and send people to deathcamps to torture for speaking Ukrainian in Ukraine. Such criminals need their assets seized. The US never begged Russian government to invest in the US, they expect that Russia respects UN Charter and they won't use sarin on major cities and such. And they'd do exactly that soon. I can feel it
