For once and only once, I agree with Donald Trump - the United Nations is a useless organisation which is not fit for purpose. Scrap it and start again. It is just a useless talking shop which has once again failed to stop an international conflict; this latest case is Ukraine. Surely, the United Nations could have taken a lead role in trying to find a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine.

The MDB does occasionally publish comments that aren't what their readers want to hear, but it seems they wait until the article the comments are posted to no longer have much viewership (old news). The comments that readers really want to read are of course, posted quite quickly. Generally these constitute the most sensational and negative/accusatory comments. "Fury and outrage". That's how the most popular media in Britain holds its audience (and supports the ruling political party). Why would the MDB be any different?
“ Currently there are no comments”. Yes there are but you’re not brave or unbiased enough to publish them. Then we have to listen to you go on and on about free speech and democracy. What a wally.
The problem is that the UN (rightfully) does things by consensus. Russia is a member, and has a veto. They may have gone off the deep end and violated the very fabric of the UN charter, but it's bloody difficult to work around that without violating its own Constitution. Perhaps they'll find a way, but it's far more complex than just kicking them out.
Once ?. You will start agreeing with him a lot more during the coming months and years.
Well said Jason. The UN is a joke and nobody cares what they say. They are totally impotent to force anything. It wouldn't make any difference if they close the doors tomorrow.
For once and only once, I agree with Jason Moore! hahaha ;-) A good poke of fun there....but does prove we all have some common ground! Yes - this organization was totally useless and failed miserably. Time to wash up and start anew.
