Wasn’t the UN created right after WWII to counterbalance the political influence of the Western world who had just become the victors of the war? Membership dues for non-West countries kept low while burden of UN maintenance mainly charged to richer countries with major benefits assigned to poorer countries who are getting a free ride. The West will become more isolated in the future.

Ireland, sigh.

They spent centuries trying to keep the Brits out only to surrender to the globalism at the UN. Their reward, tens of thousands off funky immigrants to replace them.

They are welcoming the new colonist who want to erase Ireland and it’s people. The smart ones left a century ago and fled to the US.

No; it was specifically anti-US, not anti-“West” whatever the definition of “West” here is (and it seems that the EUSSR has become “the East” in this scenario). Alger Hiss used the USSR’s constitution as the template for the UN Charter, remember.

Let’s do it and not bitch about it. Stop the free ride of the 3rd world unless we prefer to become a 3rd world ourselves.

Whatever. Israel was prepared to concede a lot of territory captured in 1967. Israel was still leftist or left-center at the time of Oslo. They would have maintained security control of the borders. It was Arafat who rejected the deal and launched the intifada which resulted in the wall around Jerusalem and the withdrawal from Gaza. That turned the Israeli public to the right.

So sure they can recognize Mars if they want to. It doesn’t change the facts on the ground and if the Palestinians really want a “state”, the path to peace and prosperity runs through Jerusalem, not Dublin or Madrid.

Events of 10/7/23 have taught Palestinians that they can have what they want including the US dancing to their tune.

The second world still exists, even if we deny it; it didn’t die with the USSR. The UN has been controlled by the second world since its beginning.

Historically, Ireland has not been anti-Jewish at all. Dublin had a Jewish mayor well before New York City had one.

The current government of Ireland isn't just anti-Jewish, they are anti-Indigenous-Irish. Well anti-White really.

Pick a country. Ireland will do. Embargo all trade with the US until Ireland changes it’s position. This includes all transfer payments, military cooperation, etc. Once Ireland concedes and comes crawling back, pick Norway. Eventually they will get the message.

What I heard on one occasion is true, common sense is the least common of the senses.

I’ve advocated for that myself. Then what do we do when we
no longer have veto power, and China and Russia are running
things?

Remind me the next time bombings take place in Ireland and
I’m supposed to give a flying fig.

I guess we should have simply recognized the bombers as
Ireland’s government.

I think the US should stay in the UN, but the UN should be out of the US.

The UN has to be destroyed. It was an abomination from the very start; its existence in fact hinged on the USSR’s inclusion.
