[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are these people? What is their deal? Normal people do not behave in this manner. Are they the product of some weird Russian experiment? Are they moronic conscripts (everyone smart evading conscription)? Hardened Chechnyans? Can't figure out who would apparently have been waiting in the wings to dive into this kind of depraved behavior. Shame on Russia![/quote]

I have no idea but God have mercy on all these victims of war crimes. May God help Ukraine to prevail against these unimaginable evils.

I know Ukraine and outside international human rights groups are methodically documenting incidents of war crimes. I hope that it is declared genocide soon and these barbarians are brought to Justice as quickly as possible. It will take time though, which the innocents trying to escape do not have.

It is so painful to hear about these horrors visited on civilians, but we have to not look away even when Ukraine eventually drops off the front page. [/quote]

They need to put in UN blue hat soldiers now, like they would in any other genocide conflict zone. Not NATO, UN. Agree with Zelensky, what's the point of the UN if all talk. [/quote]

UN peacekeepers are just third country troops with a blue hat.  The UN does not have a standing army.  They also don't fight back.  They take a long time to source and equip.  They need approval from the Security Council.  In short.  It would take awhile, they wouldn't do anything and they wouldn't be approved because of Russia.  They're only useful after a peace deal for disarmament, demobilization and reintegration.[/quote]

Yes they are and they should be there. [/quote]

The UN is a voluntary association of nearly 200 sovereign states but is not a world government. The member states determine the organization’s priorities, programs and budget.

Granted, The UN Security Council is a joke with Russia and China holding veto power over any decisions. It obviously Needs major reforms. Even there, it is the US that has used the security council veto power most often related to Israel and Palestine.

It is not supposed to be a military operation but a venue for international cooperation and agreement for humanitarian, development and peacekeeping operations. Peacekeepers are supplied by the 200 member states. However with Russia on the security council, peacekeepers will never be deployed in Ukraine. The UN needs to dissolve the security council and restart that essential part of the UN peacekeeping operations.

But other UN agencies do a lot of good in the world. It is messy and hyper political trying to get many different countries to the same tables.

They are obviously Far from perfect, but do a lot of good around:
Monitoring and improving Public health in developing countries;
Refugee monitoring and coordination; and 
Working on Sustainable development goals for reducing extreme poverty.

Many problems facing the wealthy countries cannot be tackled in isolation or on bilateral levels (climate change/ terrorism).[/quote]
