preventing which war exactly?

World war three, the third great war, the continuation of the war of 1812, the abrogation of the peace of Westphalia, call it whatever you want. We haven't had another war. Ukraine sucks but nukes aren't flying.

Yes, I do not like the UN. No, I do not believe UN exists to prevent wars. It exists today as a bad joke, a horrible reflection of the ugly reality.

The UN was created to help prevent world war through discussion. You think you are mad at the UN, but you are actually mad at the world. There is no institution or set of laws that can prevent war if we want it badly enough.

Stop imagining things and pretending your imagination is fact.

but probably now are much more open to the 2 states...

Why do you think this? Go do actual research and find out what they think. It will be a much better use of your time.

It is easy to point fingers and say they rejected the 2 states

Yes, because they rejected the 2 states many times, and continue to do so today.

but the problem was that what was offered was not good enough, that is why OSLO was the start, not the full peace treaty.

Stop imaging things. If you don't look for facts, you will always be wrong. What was offered?

I know that many Israel people do want peace, also in the Palestine side.

How do you know this? Go search and do research. Find real facts and stop making things up.

Your expectations are too high. The UN is a place where people can get together and talk, hopefully instead of going to war. That is why it was created.

The structure reflects the power of the actual countries in the world. The ones with bigger armies have more power. Nothing happens without the approval of the big guns.

The UN is not a beacon of human rights or justice or anything. If the members talk about that, it's because they want to talk about that. If they talk about Israel, it's because they want to talk about Israel. If you don't like what the UN talks about, you don't like the countries who are guiding that discussion.

The UN is to prevent another world war. We are not sure if it will be effective.

In terms of metric, we are in agreement.

As far as Venezuela goes, do you really think it's a good thing for a country to unilaterally decide to bomb another country and cause regime change? I strongly dislike the Chavez/Maduro regime, but I dislike unilaterally invading another country even more.

It's really hard to see a difference between what Trump just did and what Putin did in Ukraine (except the USA is much more competent).

But seriously, do you think it's good for a country to unilaterally decide to kidnap the president of another country?

There is no accepted legal principle that would allow the US to prosecute the head of a foreign country for acts in that country.

Under US law, he will be treated as any other person (unless somehow he can claim diplomatic immunity or something).

The really wild thing was the extradition, which wasn't done by treaty, and in violation of the UN charter.

At this point I’d love to have a Harvard educated Civics professor explain exactly what the US Department of Education actually does. To the US Department of Education.

Gives out money for special ed, sets standards, and makes sure schools aren't discriminating against black kids (you don't think they would actually do that, do you?)
