Since 1992, the UN General Assembly has passed a non-binding resolution every year, except for 2020, condemning the ongoing impact of the embargo and declaring it in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and of international law. Israel is the only country that routinely joins the U.S. in voting against the resolution. Other countries that voted against the resolution in the past include Romania in 1992, Albania and Paraguay in 1993, Uzbekistan from 1995 to 1997, Marshall Islands from 2000 to 2007, Palau from 2004 to 2009 then once in 2012, and Brazil in 2019. 187 countries voted in favor of the resolution in 2024, with only the United States and Israel voting against it and Moldova abstaining.
If it is a violation for the Charter, then fucking do something you goddamn libs.
We now have rogue states who are supposedly UN member states banning UN agencies from their territory. If that doesn’t show people how cucked the UN is I don’t know what will.
US willingly or forcefully being removed from its obviously dominant position.
Assuming the world even agrees upon having a “UN” in some form or another, the only “fair” way to do it would be a system not representative of nations but rather of people. Unfortunately this would result in the third world having all of the power, and we can’t have that of course! For reasons! So, the US is highly unlikely to surrender the power and no one can really do anything about it for the time being… what a wonderful world… the non-western aligned nations can either suck it up as they have been doing and maintain whatever sliver of protection and legitimacy the UN provides. Or leave the UN and have nothing.
I’ve considered before the possibility of the big countries leaving, like China, India, Russia (and other smaller ones) and forming a new UN with their first resolution being to condemn the old, fake servant of US imperialism. If every nation on earth did something like that, minus the EU and US for obvious reasons, I guess it doesn’t really solve the problem but it would… do something? I dunno. The last year has proven the total meaninglessness of the UN ultimately. It’s basically just a way to “legitimize” US policies abroad and give other countries a small chance to yell at the US… but the evil shit is still happening regardless. This was always the case and always clear but holy shit has the past year really really shone on a light on how bad it actually is.
I hear you. I’ve certainly radicalized a lot over the last year. 2020 me begrudgingly voted Biden as part of a “swap”. 2024 me wants to burn everything down.
It feels so hopeless being in the belly of the beast, living in the middle of the bad country, and seeing even “comrades” in my Discord defend voting for Kamala. I’m dealing with a bad bout of depression and can’t wait for next Tuesday to be over to maybe get a breather.

What would it take to un-cuck the UN?
