The UN is about as much use as an underwater hairdrier. Resolutions, statements, vetoes, sending "peacekeeping" troops to all corners of the world and then tying their hands so that they can't even protect themselves properly.

At the end of the day, Mugabe is just another tyrant trying to hold on to power, and despite their claim to be a democratic nation, Russia is still an autocracy. As for China? Why would they want to sour their arms deal with Harare?

How much money is wasted every year on the upkeep of the UN, and that other failed experiment that they call the International Criminal Court?

Politics is a dirty game whichever side of the fence you are on, and at the end of the day it's always the poorest and the weakest who suffer most.
