Despite being useless, which it is, I don't get the lesser evil spin that's going about. A cursory look at this organisation which I've done, Trump would be Chairman for life!! should dispel such notions. It is the Security Council that the administration appears determined to recreate in a Trumpian form. A look at the founding charter, has no reference whatsoever to human rights, which must be music to the ears of Imperialist China and Russia who have worked tirelessly to de emphisize human rights at the UN. It's also questionable in my opinion that Trump has invited leaders from countries with appalling human rights records to join his board, from China, Belarus to Kazakhstan, reactionary brutal Middle East leaders and two gangsters who are subject to International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity – Russian President Putin and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Add war criminal Tony Blair to this toxic mix and folk may get the message.

It really is mad to see just how many things Trump's government is tearing down.

It kind of lays bare the reality of international relations. The most powerful can do what they want and everyone else can get tae fuck. It was ever thus but the UN is a convenient fig leaf to cover that up. Trump's clown show has ripped it away.

Spot on. A lot of what is being mourned in this great upheaval is the ripping away of illusions.

Largely spot on as well.

The UN was a great idea but the reality was a barrel full of rogues, mullahs, tyrants and gangsters hanging off the tails of the great powers, and which la Trump is refilling from the bottom.
