    The UN is simultaneously completely useless and so important that over and over we have to complain about China / Russia not vetoing decisions that would happen regardless.

    If there was a vote over whether or not the U.S should bomb Iran and a China veto would prevent it- ok. But this is over official condemnation, why should we care?

      If they did more to materially support the oppressed states it’d be one thing, but their votes in the UN are pretty much in line with their foreign policy so I think shitting on them for not taking a stand is perfectly fine
