The Social Club for Hustlers, Rogues, and Their Apologists

Founded on the heels of WWII, the United Nations was billed

as the world's best hope for preventing any further world wars

and many smaller ones, as well as a place where discussion,

negotiation, and diplomacy would resolve disputes between 

various groups of people including large nations. In the years

since its founding the U.N.'s record in regards to the afore-

mentioned has been spotty at best. 

How's the U.N. doing of late? With an emerging world order led

by rogue regimes and their equally repulsive friends and allies,

one wonders what is the use of having the U.N. at all? 

Recently the U.N. hosted a gathering of dignitaries, functionaries,

and a few heads of state for the United Nations General Assembly,

and our (heaven help us) President Biden was among the throng.

Biden made his annual speech to those assembled, the Presidents

of Russia, China, and France didn't bother to attend, nor did the 
U.K.'s Prime Minister, and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi gave a 

speech dedicated to taking a pot shot at the United States. 

By the by, Raisi gave his squalid little presentation just one day

after Iran expelled the U.N.'s top nuclear weapons inspectors.

In addition, the U.N. has stood cravenly by as North Korea

ignores Security Council resolutions and sanctions to expand its

nuclear program. On the Ukranian conflict with Russia? 

The U.N. has been even more pitiful. Russia's veto in the Security 

Council coupled with China's backing had blocked any meaningful

response to Russia's mayhem. Ukrainian President Volodymyr 

Zelensky made a rare visit to the U.N. to state the case for support

against Russia's invasion. The U.S. and its allies will determine 

whether Ukraine ultimately defeats the Russians in their war.

U.N.-style multilateralism is flimsy and ineffective as China and 

their fellow rogues show off their power, with no one to rein them

in. The left-wing internationalists in Biden's State Department 

fantasize about groups of nations meeting at the U.N. to settle 

their spats in peace, but all they are doing is dreaming pipe dreams

while the present wars grind on, grinding people and their 

countries into rubble, leaving Biden's ivory-tower dwellers 

wondering why.
