    Yup, you are correct. These are not failures. These are the inherent contradictions of the system.

      Less so contradictions, and moreso the system just doing what it is primarily designed to do. Promote American imperialism and legitimize their sanction regimes.

      The UN was originally a counterbalance between the USSR and the capitalist west to stabilize the world and allow a forum for negotiations and diplomacy. Since the USSR collapsed, it lost its original function as one side of the scale now was empty. The US then had full control to use the UN as a tool towards its own ends.

          I don’t think there’s any element of global democratic governance going on there. It’s headquartered in New York, the same state where Maduro and his wife are being paraded around as a roman triumph, flaunting all UN charter resolutions. It’s a total farce. The only time UN decisions mean anything at all is when the US is backing it, and it’s usually just there to give legitimacy to the US. If the US doesn’t want something they just veto or ignore it without consequence. It’s all benefit, no downside to the US.
