@TinyPizza @TinyPizza although the UN is made up of hundreds of countries, we can't stand up against any of the superpowers.
The US made a clear threat when it passed a law authorizing itself to conduct a military attack on the Hague if ever we try to try any of them for war crimes.
I know. I would volunteer every presidential war criminal, even if it meant my own life in return. I'm endlessly apologetic for the way we've malformed the world and excuse ourselves from consequence. Nothing will ever be fair as long as we refuse to play by the rules and ask our allies to do the same. We can only hope the civilization that follows us is more genuine and humane.
@TinyPizza I agree with your sentiments though. It's quite telling that it's South Africa who has been calling for UN peacekeeper intervention to protect civilians in Gaza...
Damn, wild ass future we're in. Thanks for the info!
