The UN is a Waste of Rhetoric!

unSitting her on a Saturday morning, after the gym, after breakfast, middle of coffee – and I find 3 stories in a row that show how truly ineffective the UN is. I am speechless and staggered by an overwhelming lack of effectiveness or even marginally decisive ideals.

Case 1: Zimbabwe. This a**whole has been slaughtering everyone who even speaks about running against him. So, the US and Europe put out a vote that the elections be nullified. Thank God South Africa came to the rescue! You remember South Africa, the apartheid people?

Yeah, well they are all about ethnic prosperity now, which is why they are totally down with keeping Mugabe in power for as long as possible. In reality, but keeping most of Africa destabilized, no one notices that the Chinese have colonized most, if not all of the non-war-torn areas of Africa and are currently exploiting cheaper labor than China!

So what does the UN do? They do what they do best…they write a f**king letter. In that letter and accompanying oral statement (the UN is great at oral too!) they expressed “deep regret” that the election went ahead. WHOAH! Slow down fellas, don’t be so strong on this – it’s not like they have oil or anything, my hummer can’t run on human suffering yet! Hmm…

Case 2: Iraq.

Case 3: Somalia. Aid volunteers were kidnapped by islamic militants who are supported…I mean actually, financially supported by a UN administrator. I guess terrorism is more stable than the equities market for a good ROI.

The two workers – a Swedish and a Danish national – were in the town of Hodur helping to educate people about the dangers of unexploded landmines when they were kidnapped. The United Nations Department of Safety and Security, which asked the Swedish agency to conduct the program in Somalia, told Larsson the two men were unharmed and had been taken to the town of Wajid. UN officials are in touch with the kidnappers, who are demanding money for the release. In response, the UN Safety and Security council…wrote a letter to the kidnappers.

This is all just from 10 minutes on my computer. Who the hell do they write a letter to? What do you say? Why a letter??? A letter??? An email, SMS, IM, even smoke signals would be more effective than a MF-ing letter to kidnappers in Somalia! I can’t help but thinking of the South Park movie where the kid spoke about the UN as this home of free thought. If you spend 5 minutes on Google, you can find that the UN is filled with some of the biggest crooks in the world. Their crimes have ranged from slavery to embezzling $206M of international funds (took me 3 minutes to find those in 1 Google search).

I know that supposedly there was a time and place where the UN was useful, but now they are so easily bought and manipulated that it seems like just a nice tax shelter for a bunch of diplomats who like to vacation in New York City.

    Kudoes for not posting another boob gallery, but the UN should not be ratifying elections. I am not really even sure they have the power to do so. It is only under the pressure from the last military superpower (the US) that they even made a statement at all.

    That is actually the problem, and I gently agree with you, in that they shouldn’t need international pressure to release a statement. They should be doing that on their own. But statements are all that they have power to make. If the UN worked the way it was supposed to, there would be economic pressure and even the offending country’s ambition to please the international community – but that doesn’t exist anymore.

    Great – disband the UN, but then what? No communication from country to country? Writing f**king letter to EVERY country?

  • Rob says:

    Form another group and start over. The league of nations failed miserably. It served a small purpose, and then failed. Now start over. Take the security council, and/or the largest countries in the world, as far as economic resolve is concerned, and start over. When countries want to join, you need to petition and agree to certain parameters.

    Right now, all these dinky shit countries feel like they deserve to be in the UN and deserve ALL the international aid they receive. They will sing a different tune when that aid (mostly from the US and Europe) stops.

  • J-don says:

    Uh…read your history books, the LON didnt fail miserably!

  • Rob says:

    Uhhh…J-don…ok, then where are they now? Uhhh…oh, I know…dissolved. They don’t usually do that after amazing success.

    Go back to Nascar.

  • Josh says:

    dont hate on nascar, but the LON was a bigger sham than the current UN.

  • PK says:

    The ‘Super Friends’ did pretty well…

  • Rob says:

    Only the ‘Super Best Friends’!

  • G-Love says:

    NO ONE can help Somalia, we should just wait till they tire themselves out.

  • Rob says:

    No – you’re right, the last couple years really hasn’t been enough time…good call. I think you are officially worthy of serving in the UN.

  • papa bear says:

    “I know that supposedly there was a time and place where the UN was useful…”

    Uhhh…there was NEVER a time that the UN was useful. It’s not like there is anyting stopping nations from talking to one another. It’s just a sham organization to make tiny nations feel like they aren’t just the next pawn to be gobbled up by the next superpower.

    Oh and ‘ha ha ha’ to everyone who constantly bitches about US influence on the world. Have fun with China when they FULLY colonize your dirt pit of a country. Enjoy. I just hope we (the US) do NOTHING to help out at all and finally re-isolate and do our own thing once again like we did pre-World Wars. (minus the slavery and no women’s rights shit of course, those issues can remain as they are now. ;) )

    F*ck the UN, John Bolton for President!
