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.

sounds like there is nothing to be done for this one. if it is resistant to everything how can we combat it?

We can't. Best we can hope for is a new superhero origin story based on this unstoppable fungus. :-) Seems more like a DC thing than Marvel... Anyone got a good name for him/her/it?

Not to be contradictory for y'all, but if we read the story, there are three medications in testing now. FTA:

"The review calls for improved efforts to raise awareness about the fungal disease via better surveillance mechanisms, especially in resource-poor countries. It notes that three new drugs that are currently in clinical trials could likely become available for treatment of this fungal infection soon."

It's an indictment of the poor way the US treats health care, not just the poor health care system but also the "quick fix" attitude of many Americans. If they get any illness they'll demand the doctor gives them magic pills (a broad spectrum cure, like azithromycin(zithromax)) rather than suffer through a minor illness and of course, the for profit health care system is more than happy to oblige (as is the greater corporate America, who don't want their serfs taking a week off to get better). Overuse of medication when the patient will get better with rest and isolation is why pathogens evolve to become resistant to them.

Yes, there are issues within the US where we overprescribe drugs that often suppress the immune system. But you have somehow made our healthcare system cause a global problem. Fortunately, this does not exist anywhere else in the world, where they do things the right way... Where only people in the US have an issue, based on your "proof". While the erst of the world is hale and healthy... But sumpin's wrong here.

A Fungus discovered in Japan, and now resident in 61 countries - Pray tell us how this is the fault of the USA, and the USA only. You made the claim.

As soon as people like you spout your usual anti-USA hatred, and employ your mad dash to blame every problem in the world one the country you love to hate, it gives you a credibility rating of 0. At least with people who don't use soundbite rhetoric as their entire argument. In your toxic view, fixing the US healthcare will fix a global problem.

We don't combat it, we die. That's why epidemiologists have been warning about the overuse of anti-biotics for decades.

Antibiotics do nothing against fungus.

True, dat. I'm more concerned about people happily gobbling medications that are immunodepressants. Not done any actual research, but on the television shows my wife watches, The commercials give me the impression that the list of drugs that do suppress the immune system, often for trivial issues, is pretty big, and looks like it is growing.

A fertile field for candida auris to do its work.

And it isn't just antibiotics. So many maintenance drugs pushed on people today have as one of their side effects, damaging our immune system, It makes for an enlarging market for the new opportunist diseases. So we scramble for new treatments at the same time we purposely nuke our immune systems.

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.

One thing LLM-type chatbots do not do is reliable information supply.

Exactly. For all of the hoopla, It is a stark fact that AI can and will train itself on lies as well as truth. And manually searching the web shows that lies are as common as truth. And even if not lies, so much is opinion.

A human in the loop can do better, even then we are not infallible, especially when dealing with opinion based "facts". But we have a better bullshit filter. AI has none. Which loops us right back to your statement on reliable information supply.
