Stop bullying me!
My dad works at the United Nations, and if you keep bullying me he’ll do nothing at all about it, you’re warned!
If the UN had teeth then no one would join it.
He’ll very much do something about it: express ‘deep concern’ and call ‘on all parties to respect (inter)national law’.

Casual reminder that the UN is not a government or authority
This. The UN isn’t for “doing things”. Its sole purpose is to provide an established avenue for diplomacy. It is a monumental achievement in human history and is critically important especially in tense times like this, for no other reason than enabling interstate dialogue. It isn’t meant to be on anyone’s side as an organization, it’s meant to bring everyone to the table to encourage diplomacy to prevent war.
Doctor Doom will be very disappointed
Lol
Did you really draw a whole world map just for this? Respect, man/woman/compadre.
The UN if defined as having been formed to prevent nuclear war under the MAD (mutually assured destruction), had been 100% effective since it formed.
I put a banana in my ear every day to prevent alligator attacks, and it has also been 100% effective.
If you live in the florida Everglades then that would be pretty impressive. The global landscape has had increased nuclear proliferation, so by your analogy, its like having to pet several alligators each day and having a track record of 0 alligator attacks.
Plot twist: His dad is Jan Egeland.
He’s going to non-binding resolution you so hard!!!
On the other hand, if your dad actually does work for Nintendo, you may in fact be quite fucked.
