You have to decide if you believe there should be international law or not

The Nuremberg trials laid out a very simple idea: the supreme international crime is launching a war of aggression

The UN security council must be rebuilt from the ground up

UN must be wrestled from US control, it must not be allowed to use it as just another weapon, and we must work towards an actual system of international law, one where we are actually equal. the other option is global war

@ekis

the UN does need to be rebuilt regardless of any other factors

the security council for example:

france and uk both having seats is a colonial era hangover. there should be one EU seat

russia inherited theirs from the USSR, this wasn't even legal. russia simply should not have a seat

india should have one

brazil should have one

nigeria or south africa should have one

australia or indonesia should have one

egypt or saudi arabia should have one

china and usa as usual

@benroyce @ekis And for the love of all that is holy, get rid of that BS single nation Veto system that ensures that the US can run roughshod over anyone or anything they don't like. (Saying this as a US citizen by the by)

@nurglerider @ekis

it won't happen

regional powers won't join a system they don't have veto power in. so the new UN will never come to exist

even if such a UN existed, let's say they make a decision that india doesn't like but india's veto is denied

so india just ignores it

now what?

are other countries going to impose on india?

now you have a UN that creates conflict instead of resolves it

regional powers have to have a veto power

i don't like it. just no way around it
