    We now have rogue states who are supposedly UN member states banning UN agencies from their territory. If that doesn’t show people how cucked the UN is I don’t know what will.

        US willingly or forcefully being removed from its obviously dominant position.

        Assuming the world even agrees upon having a "UN" in some form or another, the only "fair" way to do it would be a system not representative of nations but rather of people. Unfortunately this would result in the third world having all of the power, and we can't have that of course! For reasons! So, the US is highly unlikely to surrender the power and no one can really do anything about it for the time being... what a wonderful world... the non-western aligned nations can either suck it up as they have been doing and maintain whatever sliver of protection and legitimacy the UN provides. Or leave the UN and have nothing.

        I've considered before the possibility of the big countries leaving, like China, India, Russia (and other smaller ones) and forming a new UN with their first resolution being to condemn the old, fake servant of US imperialism. If every nation on earth did something like that, minus the EU and US for obvious reasons, I guess it doesn't really solve the problem but it would... do something? I dunno. The last year has proven the total meaninglessness of the UN ultimately. It's basically just a way to "legitimize" US policies abroad and give other countries a small chance to yell at the US... but the evil shit is still happening regardless. This was always the case and always clear but holy shit has the past year really really shone on a light on how bad it actually is.
