EnochWalked: ... and the suspension of any member engaging in an "illegal war", such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine." I can imagine 90% of countries backing that. The UN would effectively become a global senate: 1 equal vote per (law-abiding) country. Sept 19, 2024 1:11:13 GMT -6
EnochWalked: Of course the US would oppose such a change (whoever wins in November), and so would Russia, but it would be really awkward if all the other nations of the world joined a new "UN2", with a headquarters in Shanghai or Hiroshima. UN1 would just be US+Russia. Sept 19, 2024 1:13:42 GMT -6
EnochWalked: The irony is, even if the US did join this "UN2", or accepted these reforms to the existing UN, the first thing that would happen is Syria arguing that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Tanf is an illegal occupation, requiring the US to lose voting rights. Sept 19, 2024 1:18:14 GMT -6
