Such a great idea to make an international organisation for diplomacy where the nations that are already dominant also have complete power to stop anything they don’t like.
Surely this is a credible institution and not just a respectable veil over imperialism.
That’s right just sit there and frown at the guy vetoing instead of doing your duty to humanity and punching him in the face.
In a world with an egalitarian UN, but no great powers in it, everyone is just going to pay attention to what the great powers are off doing on their own. Nobody would care what the UN is doing.
That’s no excuse to give the big players absolute veto power. They could have limited it only to some specific matters where the fact they are big players (and not obstacles) actually matters.
Hey now, there exist international organizations to perpetuate Russian and Chinese imperialism too! Except the Russian ones are always dysfunctional as fuck and never actually work out.

You think those countries would have joined without those powers?
No. What’s your point?

Almost like the entire concept of peaceful diplomacy with global superpowers is foundationally flawed, which is my point.

Every international organization alike, is there to perpetuate US/Europe imperialism.

And the Chinese ones almost always work exclusively on economic Swords of Damocles.
