Russia Invades Ukraine

[Willo]

Can't remember what it was called, but there was a mob way back when that was a forerunner of the U.N. It was pretty much a bloated bureaucracy n useless as tits on a bull, so they dismantled it n invented a super fancy United Nations. Which rapidly became about 1000 times bigger, 1000 times more expensive n 1000 times as *smile* useless.

The League of Nations. Founded a couple of years after WW1
Another of those fancy named organisations that no doubt started of with good intentions, but then became a redundant monolithic bureaucracy that was just a paper Tiger. Did *smile* all.

Record high deaths in the Russia-Ukraine war: What you should know

Recent reports suggest a million people killed to date, with a high civilian death toll in Ukraine over the summer.

Horrendous death and injury toll on both sides of this conflict.
Hospitals bombed, more innocent lives lost. But not much of a peep by the collective western media.

Conflict in the Middle East gets a fair bit of airplay and public sympathy.
Not much seen for this calamity or the suffering.

Just like in some of the sub Saharan countries like Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia,
Millions dying and suffering, but hardly reaches the public. UN and other humanitarian aid groups do their best. But where are the UN head honchos. Do they know where these countries are? Maybe not, someone should give them a map. SSE of the Middle East.

Sub-Saharan Africa: The devastating impact of conflicts compounded by COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the terrible legacy of deliberately divisive and destructive policies that have perpetuated inequality, discrimination, and oppression across Sub-Saharan Africa

It seems the Palestinian cause gets enough airplay and public sympathy and funding. But these poor bastards are forgotten about.

The UN is very diverse. Some of it is as you describe, other parts of it do enormous good and have saved millions of lives. United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) to name a few.
