if i were president i would do a billion executive orders and try to resign from the UN security council because we clearly don’t deserve that veto power
Just do me the favor of starting with the first, or maybe just dissolving the security councils veto power, and keeping the UN together. I think many of us overlook what knowledge diplomats do learn of struggles in countries most citizens could never name, and some they can because our information is often localized. Maybe make a U.S. funded broadcasting nationally of their meetings with a council local and abroad mixed that give their briefings and present the views.
I don’t think you could ever get the Security Council to dissolve itself. The only reason the UN was able to get off the ground is the veto, the great powers wouldn’t have joined otherwise.
But our permanent seat. That veto. That’s ostensibly under our control. And it shouldn.t. We suck. We use it so much crap like. Gone. I want it gone. Give it up.
I fear you forget who the rest are and what they use it for. Are we terrible, yes. Would the world be better off if we didn’t have it… Maybe. The vacuum it would create without disolving it completely would be treacherous. It gives us no right to use it. But it doesn’t mean there won’t be bad actors other than us that do. We have examples currently ongoing
When China Russia Iran and India are motivated in the same path, which of those seats do you think can disincentivize them. I’m not saying the U.S. should have veto power, I agree… But logistically, when China does well by manipulating Russia into smattering their children over eastern Europe and depleting economic wealth as well as all of their offspring suffering for both Europe and Russia, what do you see as a viable way to make them feel checked in a way that stunts such.
I should say, no I don’t think China is behind all of this in some conspiracy or some shit. But the powers of large economies and populations will always be pushing at each other demanding more so long as Capitalism is the center of our world. The U.S., China, India, E.U. (hate to lump them) all have agreed that capitalism is the choice for them.
This is why we battle for what seems like nothingness so often. Power. The reason so many nations didnt shift to renewable resources earlier was because of pressures from “super powers”.
Solar power won’t run out before humanity does.
Nuclear energy won’t run out before humanity does.
Geothermal energy won’t run out before humanity does.
Wind might, but that’s because we keep fighting over land to assert dominance.
We are hitting a revolution where energy dependence should never be an issue again. Transportation, heating, cooling, cooking whatever it may be. And global powers have fought it tooth and nail because when someone has a home with heat, cooling, food, transportation for cheap… They don’t have to answer to power unless it can break everyone else who has it around them as well. The rich right now compared to the middle class SHOULD be, the cost of their fancy coat, but both coats can insulate the same. Power fears happiness within “scarcity” and our scarcity should be enough to make people happy, so they create artificial scarcity and have to drive people to homelessness and other issues to make sure we are still scared.
Fear drives capitalism (edit: which by the way, should define it as terrorism last I checked).
Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to understand the difference between freedom fighters and terrorists. They are all coming from terrorism trying to gain freedoms manipulated by the fear intentionally driven into them)

there’s like 10 non-permanent seats on the council, flipping one of the forever-seats to temporary isn’t gonna create a vaccuuummeee
A vacuum forms when you, say, disolve the whol dam thing
