How so?
Objection
Pretty much every country was a member.
"Every country was responsible for the invasion of Korea because everyone was in the UN."
"Finland has no influence over the UN because we're not on the security council."
Choose one.
“Don’t start wars” is a lesson we’ll hardly need opportunities to learn about, no matter how many there are people are still going to start them again and again.
"Don't start wars" is not the only lesson to learn, also, "Avoid getting involved in wars unless you have a very good reason, even if you didn't start it."
Not members of the Securit Council though who made the decision or the United Nations Command
Which returns to my previous point that "the UN" at the time was essentially just the US, the UK (whose support was bought with the coup in Iran), and France (who got US support in Vietnam in exchange).
But it also happened before I was born, so my possibilities on affecting the outcome are pretty limited.
Then why are we even talking about it? Because it provides an opportunity to learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Well, your country is part of the UN and as you've emphasized it was a UN intervention so I'd say it's pretty clear which side of the war you have a greater ability to influence and therefore a greater responsibility to critique.
In that case I return to my original statement. "Damn, maybe we should stop doing them then." I don't have any control over what North Korea does or did, but I do, at least theoretically, have influence as a voter and a citizen over what the US does, so I'm going to focus on the things within my ability to influence. And your response that "North Korea started the war" seems largely irrelevant.
The root problem of Trumpism isn't going anywhere, these people were largely "like that" before Trump and they'll be like that after Trump.
At best, we may find that the right is directionless after Trump, unable to unify behind a single face. There are other right-wing figures just as bad or worse than Trump, but many of them are ideologues who don't have the same kind of broad appeal. But this will only be a temporary setback. Even if the Democrats win, we'll just get more neoliberalism, and we'll get a situation like with Kier Stamer in the UK, where people got sick of the Tory clownshow enough to give Labour a chance, but then one of the first things Labour did was to cut Winter fuel subsidies and their popularity plummeted. Democrats likewise can always be relied on to drop the ball and alienate the working class.
There may not even be an offramp on the path towards fascism at this point but if there is it involves the left putting forward a bold vision that offers a plausible alternative to both neoliberalism and fascism. Otherwise, if the choice is between neoliberalism and fascism, then it's only a question of how long it takes for neoliberalism to decline to the point that people will gamble on fascism, which is what brought us here in the first place.
Don't treat Trump as some sort of anomaly or fluke, don't think that the US will stop being Trumpian once Trump is no longer president.
How marketable would you say your illness was?
Your options would be: begging strangers on the internet for money and going viral, being rich enough to pay out the ass for really good insurance when you were healthy, declaring bankruptcy, and playing Luigi's Mansion.
Can I just get a straight answer? Do you or do you not support UN intervention in the Korean War? Yes or no, no more evasion, no more word games.
You said that the Koreans "benefitted" from UN involvement, now you're saying you don't support UN involvement? Would you deprive Koreans of the benefit of being infected with smallpox?
Or is this another one of your word games, where I correctly understood your position, but because you didn't technically explicitly say it it doesn't count? The classic "motte and bailey" tactic?
You support UN/US intervention. UN/US intervention included infecting children with smallpox. You know this, I've told you repeatedly and you have neither denied nor condemned it, you haven't even acknowledged it. Because you support it. In the same way someone who defends Nazi Germany and goes mysteriously silent whenever the Holocaust is brought up supports the Holocaust. You are fascist scum.
"I only support infecting children with smallpox, and this crazy leftist called me a fascist over it!"
Maybe try not supporting biological warfare if you don't want to get called a fascist, fascist.
As opposed to Biden merely calling their decisions "outrageous" and strongly condemning them while supporting Netanyahu after they issued a warrant for his arrest.
I'm not sure how that's connected to Syria, tbh.
