Why the UN Security Council Resolution on Ukraine Failed Miserably

The United Nations did what they do best when there is a massive disruption to world peace: Nothing. Not a damn thing. And did a whole lot of that.

This from townhall.com.

President Trump talked about politicians being ‘all talk, no action.’

Well, a prime example of that is the United Nations where all talk and no action is the daily order of business.

Congress is bad enough, but the UN is already enshrined in the hall of fame of do-nothing politics on a grand scale.

This body has only gone to war twice to restore peace.

This body has human rights abusers chairing committees devoted to…promoting human rights. It’s a joke.

So, when the United Nations Security Council had their resolution on Ukraine go down in flames Friday, the world shouldn’t be shocked. Russia vetoed it.

Now, who didn’t see that coming?

This from Associated Press:

Russia on Friday vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution telling Moscow to stop attacking Ukraine and withdraw all troops immediately.

The veto was expected, but the United States and its supporters argued that the effort would highlight Moscow’s international isolation.

The 11-1 vote—with China, India and the United Arab Emirates abstaining—showed significant but not total opposition to Russia’s invasion of its smaller, militarily weaker neighbor.

The resolution’s failure paves the way for backers to call for a swift vote on a similar measure in the 193-member U.N. General Assembly, where there are no vetoes. There was no immediate timetable for a potential Assembly vote.

Spearheaded by the U.S. and Albania, the Security Council resolution would have deplored Russia’s “aggression” against Ukraine. It called for Moscow immediately to pull out its military and stop using force against Ukraine, and to reverse a decision to recognize two separatist areas in eastern Ukraine as independent.

As last reported, Russian forces were trying to capture Kyiv. The fight for the capital had begun.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that tonight [Friday night] will be hard, that Russia will release the full might of their military, and the fate of the country rests with holding Kyiv.

Thank you, U.N., you worthless bloviating bastards. Why is the United States still part of your mess?

The democrat-communist party, right? And for the sake of keeping a watchful eye on your continuing nothingness.

Given strong future Republican leadership (Read: President Trump) perhaps your headquarters will be removed from New York City and the U.S. will end its involvement in your waste of time and money.

Best wishes President Zelensky and best wishes Ukraine.
