    Haiti is not some “random stuff” that you can dismiss. It literally is a case example why putting your faith in the UN and UNSC is idealism and delusion at this point. Even with the UNSC, they never stopped this but actually made the situation a lot worse:

    It amazes me how people can still believe in the UN after all of these years of failure to stop the genocide in Palestine, to stop the bleeding of Haiti, to stop the deadly blockade on Cuba or to stop any of the US war crimes in the Caribbean. It is bizarre.

      Yes, it’s like Israel has violated international law multiple times and still UN hasn’t done shit. The UNSC is nothing but symbolic, the actual power to impose the law comes from countries’ hard power (economic and military), not from law.

      And while I do have criticism of China, it’s extremely idiotic to think they would enter in an open war with the US. Not even the US dares to challenge China in an open confrontation. It’s not like people want the end of the world with a nuclear apocalypse.
