Are the United Nations and European Union worth it?
Are the United Nations and European Union worth it?
This is a recurrent topic (at least in me) but I feel its worthy to post about it because today the Honduran president got ousted (or so we have been told, at least). I am not from Honduras or anything of the like. I was born in Europe but since very small lived in various Latin American countries. This time, I will not talk about the United States, everyone talks about them everyday anyways. Today, the European Union, the United Nations, the Organization of the Americas States, they are all condeming the (coup?) against Zelaya. In the past, they had also reacted in a similar way regarding Chavez, and regarding Ecuador before Correa. They also seem to criticize the way Colombia takes ahead its internal war, but hey, its a war, not a Disney Park. Its fine, its OK to criticize coups and such. But the problem with these organizations is that, in reality, they are useless, and if anything, they help dictators. I will say it very simple. -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when thousands of people were executed in Cuba by Castro? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations in front of the fact that Fidel Castro has been the king of Cuba, in power for 50 years? Nowhere! What did Europe do about Fidel? Reward him by building hotels! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when Burma fell under a big dictatorship? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations in front of the events at Darfur? Nowhere! -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations during Tianan Meng (spelling?)? Nowhere! -Does the European Union or United Nations care about North Korea? No, all they do is blame each other. Does the European Union / United Nations care that Chavez wants to stay in power until 2050 no matter what anyone says? No. Do they care that Chavez ordered to throw tear gas and jail any student or whoever protests? No. Did they care when the Human Rights watch representative got expelled from Venezuela with no reason? No. What does the European Union do? They pretty much support Colombian guerrillas and Peruvian guerrillas, and any government that puts a stop to them is quickly criticized. -Where the fuck is/was the European Union / United Nations when three white men were shot in Bolivia for political reasons? Nowhere! Did they even bother trying to investigate if the claims of a potential magnicide were true? Not at all. -If Zelaya was not ousted, or if he comes back to power, and manages to stay in power for 30 years, will the European Union / United Nations do something about it? You guessed it, they won't. So all the democracy and freedom talk done by the European Union, United Nations, and OAS, is pretty much garbage, all they have achieved is to reward dictators and wannabe- dictators, without any real concern about freedom for people. The European Union and the United Nations and the OAS are made up of a bunch of guys who drink wine and who don't give a crap about the foot citizen. Thats the truth about them. All of these grouos could be abolished, and the World would not be very different, except that dictators would not have anyone to support them (internationally). United Nations: They are as useless, or maybe more, than the League of Nations in the 1930s.

Short answers to complicated questions are: UN: Grand concept but poorly executed. EU: Grand concept but the jury is still out on this one.

It is difficult to answer a question such as this because it is posted by someone to whom world politics are a complete mystery. Why do you repeatedly compare the E.U with the U.N? The U.N charter was signed on the 26 June 1945, the E.U charter was signed 1 November 1993. The UN was set up to try to prevent wars and major upheaval between countries in an effort to make sure we do not have anymore global wars. In the main they have been successful. The U.N is not allowed to interfere with the internal affairs of a sovereign nation, it can only come in if it is invited by the government of that nation. That is why the U.N does not come to the rescue every time something happens in a country that perhaps we disagree with.The European Union is a conglomerate of 27 countries that have banded together to trade with each other and to have a common group of laws that will enable those countries to coexist with some sort of cohesion . So you can see that the two were set up for very different purposes. You could argue why did not the U.N come to the USA when the Kennedy,s were shot or when Regan was shot or when the Feds became completely out of control at Waco or when the national guard shot the students at Kent University. These are all similar to the happenings that you think the U.N should interfere in, but as I have stated they cannot interfere in a countries internal affairs. The E.U has no remit at all in these matters. I have kept my answer simple and in very general terms so that even you can get a grasp on way these things work. I suggest you do a little more research before you post these type of questions.

What do u want them to do attack or assassinate. These are ridiculous. This is what the US did to communism and it failed. There is nothing you can do but condemn

What would you have the UN do? Should they invade and restore order in every unsettled country? That would mean a much larger military presence than the currently have and everyone putting more money into it. If they got involved in every undemocratic activity and interevened each time, there would be UN forces on the ground in about 80% of the world. So, I ask you, what would you have the UN do? And how do you suppose they will do it. As for the EU - the EU is basically an economic federation for the betterment of it's members. Why should a group of European countries get involved in what happens in south america - any more than AFrican ones? Why aren't you asking where ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) was when all of this was going on.

Most of them, UN, EU and so on are run by International Banks and therefore acts as a puppet show for the World Bank owners and international brokers. Whatever they want to happen, happens. Could it be war, peace, fascism, socialism, and the list goes on. EU is the first block of three. The next to come is the American block (Canada, USA, Mexico), then the Asian block (China, Japan, Australia etc..) Once three blocks are ready, they will be tied together by an emerging world government, the New World Order, often referred to by all recent presidents of the US, including Obama. How could such a global domination of world banks be achieved with the consent of the masses? Through mass mind manipulation events, like the current economic crisis and 911. Democracy is an ideology which is part of the US constitution, but was doomed to failure once personal interests bypassed it, putting the institutions before the populations. It used to be "We the people, by the people, for the people. Now it means "We the institutions, by the institutions, for the institutions."
