      I think for them to stop being assholes they’d need to feel the tiniest bit of empathy first and if the last year of relentless cruelty has shown us anything it is the lack of empathy the Russian government has.

    I wonder what it would take for UN peacekeepers to get involved. How bad does the situation need to get?

    There goes the UN trying to interfere in Russia’s genocide of innocent people again. No wonder conservatives and fascists hate the UN so much.

        1. I don’t think you understand what and how much the UN actually does and how many billion people depend on it.

        2. When the UN formed, it was the russians under Stalin that insisted on establishing a Veto right for the security council members. The US was opposed to this.

        Fun how the problem always circles back to russia.

    Makes sense, it would be a major risk to accidentally shoot a UN representative, while you are shooting on people in need of aid. /s
