they and russia own the UN, why we are even in it is a mystery to me.
Actually, four groups own the UN:
1) The Anti American Government group
2) The Anti American People group
3)The Anti American Constitution and Constitutionally based Rule of Law group
4) And the Milk America for all She's got group.
Many belong to all four groups, but every damn one of 'em belongs to at least one.
The reason we are in the UN is because a goodly portion of American citizens are in the last two groups, as are most of American government employees.
The purpose of the UN, ultimately, is to use (preferably, unpaid) mercenary American military force to bully the entire world into New World Order Socialism where all "rights" are granted by government.
The UN could hide behind a false perception of it's purpose as long as Russia and China were far out in left field politically and economically, but both have partially cleaned up their act, and left the rest of the world's socialist's normally concealed objectives and alliance with radical Islam exposed.
The UN had Russia and China as members and gave them power back when it made the UN look good, and now they can't control them or get them out.
The failure of the false flag proxy war against Russia through Syria, is a sign of the collapse of the general plan. Historically, Socialists routienly start false flag wars easy as pie to further their ends. They don't always win 'em, but they start 'em just the same. This one was supposed to use the US military to do the fighting, and the Socialist-radical Islamicist alliance would have won.
The Russia-China (and 3 others) veto in the Security Council is what gave Putin the time to outflank Obama and the Saudis.
