Re: European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch (none / 1)

While I agree with your point completely, it's worth pointing out that there are a lot of UN resolutions on Israel that aren't adhered to by Israel or the USA.

by and large the UN is only as effective as the superpowers want it to be. Right now, that only seems to be when the UN agrees with them, but not when it rules against them.

keep to the Fen Causeway

I understand that but what makes me furious is that they are calling Russia to respect international law and UN rules that they, USA, simply do not give a rat ass to respect. It's beyond hypocrisy. It's perverse Do they think that we (world population) are ALL morons?

I can't even put together a coherent rant on it. Or a suitably incoherent one.
