    I mean, the world is going up in flames. That is a pretty big thing that is happening. Those 5 countries and their mutual defensive pact allies are responsible for a majority of global emissions that are heating the planet to the point of uninhabitability.

    Billions of people will die violently, for a large part because if the UN-mediated stability of capitalist global trade and its unlimited industrial capacity to make the planet uninhabitable.

    The UN with its veto system has effectively prevented non-permanent UNSC member nations from coming to binding agreements and pushing them on the privileged few. 6 billion people from across the world matter less than 70 million British people, even though India and Pakistan both have nukes too.

      It’s not going up in flames specifically because of that and not as quickly as it would without the UN. I’m not saying you’re incorrect and that the UN is without fault, just that your reply isn’t really about the point that was made.
