Because Russia is invading a sovereign nation and refuses a cease fire or peace talks without ceding land it acquired from said invasion.
If only we had a great historical example of what happens when you cede territory in the pursuit of peace to try and mollify an expansionist aggressor, and how that can influence the precipitation of a world war.

All I really know is if I blow a kiss at the Australians and those men don't blow one back or atleast say something gay as hell especially if they've been drinking, there's a 100% chance they're an enemy since most of them hate all things even remotely gay and won't do gay stuff with us and will probably look confused.
Likewise, the Australians know that Americans will ALWAYS talk about Steve Irwin and one of us will say "Croikey Mate!" especially if we've been drinking. New Zealanders know we're going to ALWAYS talk about Lord of the Rings and mistake them for the Australians and talk about Steve Irwin and one of us will say "Croikey Mate!" with them as well especially if we've been drinking.
We all know that you will ALWAYS hear the British before you see the British especially if they've been drinking. They know we're all secretly fascinated by the British Empire especially from a military perspective.
It's honestly pretty difficult to tell Americans and Canadians apart even we have trouble telling which one of is our and which is theirs unless there's a Southern or Boston accent somewhere in the mix.

>France, a nuclear power, as recently called that bluff. OK, Donc fais-le! So now the smaller NATO members are also calling the bluff.
i mean something to consider also is France is calling a bluff because they are still making up for Macron basically being the posterchild for early war Russian appeasement. Not cause they wanna do stuff out of the good of their hearts.
His "bluff calling" predictably was just symbolic, rather then practically doing anything. Similar to Finland or Poland saying this stuff.
Sure, French, Finnish, and Polish weapons are approved to use against russia, but theres like no french/finnish/polish weapons being used. Its all under the equipment under the banner of the EU/Nato or the US.
Unless the EU/Nato as a whole approves it. Its basically just lip service until then, or until they personally deliver weapons to Ukraine. Which for the most part, they haven't been doing.
Weapon platforms are not the same as Munitions. So say they get to use those F-16s (i think) norway gave em. Doesn't mean shit. If those things are strapped with 'polish' munions, they can't be used against Russia. Likewise if on the flip side of the coin, those F-16's were theoretically Poland's, and they had say British munitions, they wouldn't be allowed to run sorties with the british munitions on board. It'd have to be all Polish/Finnish/French stuff.
Geopolitical red tape in armed conflicts do be funny.

I did, and I summarized it by using the title. What Blinken said is political bullshit, without taking a side.
>But he said that the Ukrainians needed to make their own decisions on how to **best defend themselves**
Could easily be interpreted as "striking targets deep inside Russia isn't defending yourself". There is nothing explicit about what Blinken said. You might want to google the definition of that word.

The damn Taurus argument is annoying at this point. Germany is providing mainly air defense and that support is absolutely unmatched by anyone else, even the USA. Hanging yourself up on a single weapon system is ridiculous when Germany provided state of the art air defense systems (IRIS-T SLM) that so far only Ukraine has, because it's that new. A system that has a 90% intercept rate at this point.
There is a good reason Russia no longer strikes that deeply behind Ukrainian lines, while Ukraine still has not a whole lot of air defense, it seems enough to defend major cities behind Ukrainian lines that were struck often in the early stages of the war.
So whatever the fuck this circlejerk about Taurus really is, I don't get it. It's not like it's the best system around, it's not like it's largely available. But I know someone who sits on a metric ton of similar, if not even better systems... But I guess they are deeply buried in the same desert the Abrams sitting around, eh?

Respectfully, you are off base.
North Korea has 6000 artillery pieces within striking distance of Seoul and an otherwise fairly strong artillery corps.
I would encourage you to read RAND’s report on North Korean capabilities, the preface makes it extremely clear that North Korea poses a serious threat to the extent they can even today threaten force to coerce South Korea.
https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_reports/RRA600/RRA619-1/RAND_RRA619-1.pdf
The question isn’t “is North Korea capable of winning a war”. The question is “is North Korea capable of causing catastrophic damage to South Korea before the US can stop them” and the answer is an incredibly strong yes.
And even there, are we pretending China would just sit back and let the US attack its neighbor?
And they absolutely have engaged in hostile actions against other states. You know, the KOREAN WAR.

Have you seen some of the pics and videos? Some shady stuff was happening right in front of the borderguards... like just a couple of feet away.
And its not like digging tunnels that size and that money doesnt make any noise.
From the moment Egypt kept refusing to let refugees in and wasnt being criticized by ANYONE i was very suspicious of it.
If any Western country does this they would be called Hittler and whatnot. And flooded by protests.
Time to clean that shit up. And the West needs to put its foot down. Its good to see more and more people are waking up to the bullshit.

They are global rules of war, signed by 196 Nations. Hamas certainly gives a fuck because if it weren’t for those rules of war I doubt there would be a Palestine for them to hide behind.

FTFY.
An act of war is not a crime per se. You mean **war crime**.
Militants "embedding in civilian population" is a **war crime** - specifically, the one of using [human shields](https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule97).
The pro-Palestinian crowd scoffing at the term "human shields" doesn't make it any less of a war crime.

Of course they did. Gazans had an easier time legally entering Europe than Israel.

Because the UN isn’t the world government. It’s an international forum to conduct diplomacy and foster global cooperation first and foremost. Regardless of human rights abuses, the UN is making a tribute to the former head of state of one of its members. They’d do the same for Putin, Biden, or just about anyone.

Too many people think war is part of diplomacy, just another tool in the kit, when really war and diplomacy are opposites: diplomacy is doing anything other than war to solve a problem.
People will realize how “useless” the UN is once it’s gone and there’s mass civil wars, mass regional conflicts, assassinations a plenty, etc.
There’s kind of a reason that there’s been so few major/global conflicts since WWII.

The UN is useless even for that. Its spectacular failure during the Cuban Missile Crisis is why the US and USSR agreed to create the Washington-Moscow Hotline (the famous "red phone" in various movies).
The whole point of the Hotline was so that the 2 superpowers could have constant communication without going through the UN.
The UN and League of Nations might have made sense in an era when wars were fought with steamships and biplanes. But in an era where supersonic nukes can be in the air in mere minutes, the UN is woefully inadequate. Communication in 2024 needs to move much faster than everyone physically meeting in a building.

Civil rights council is not a thing. I am assuming you are talking about the Human Rights Council, to which Iran is not a member, let alone its president.
Iran did chair a 2-days UN Human Rights Council meeting after being nominated by Asian countries in 2023.
I don’t think you understand what the UN or its agencies do, but there is enough to be critical of without having to make stuff up.

The hotline isn't used constantly, it's only a few times a year to warn the other that something that might be interpretated as an attack on the other isn't. It's not really for diplomacy, and is also only between two countries. More hotlines have been implemented too, there are about 10 or so, but again, only between two countries.
There are a lot more than just super powers, and it's not like every country can have 200 hotlines to every other country.

This is standard practice for the death of ANY current leader of member states of the UN. It is literally the complete opposite of "pandering".

It'd probably be the same if Biden passed away. MAGAs popping fireworks and champagne, while Liberals and Progressives cry because now we have President Harris

Why is the United Nations celebrating a leader of a Nation they have sanctions against?

It sounds like we both strongly disagree with this man. He died by a helicopter crash. That is clearly an accident. Whether it is tragic or not can be debated I guess.

So the org failed in a few places, therefore it’s entirely useless and must be ended?
Do you have any idea what history used to look like up until the UN was established?
It’s not meant to be a solution to end all war, it’s meant to offer a channel through which a total world war can be avoided. That’s it.

"Killed"...
I think the guy moved to Hawai with his s**t load of money. Left his ring on a crunched corpse and left to live life in which he can spend his money.
