Do we know what other countries are on this list? It will be interesting to see what other countries are getting away with it.

If Saudi Arabia didn't have so many oil and if they weren't chumming up to the US and the EU the whole time, there would be a massive economic blockade against them (and there should be).

It's crazy just how much oil they have... most unfortunate really, they're practically untouchable because of it.

Edit: I can't find in the article how Ban was extorted... there's a few threats about leaving the UN but that's about it.

Seriously, if that's all there was that man is absolutely spineless.

Many believe The UN is a joke. Saudi Arabia being the chair of UN Human Rights Council is a a testament to that belief.


I only shared the news in the OP because I find it comic, not to discuss who deserves to be in that list and who doesn't

The UN is a joke.

 

I only mentioned it since the topic is about extortion and dodgy decisions the UN makes for countries they are pally with.

The UN is nothing but an organization for the wealthy and powerful countries of earth to control the world. International law is also a joke since those countries can break it at any time without repercussion. You have a big army or loads of cash? Congratulations, international law doesn't apply to you.

Whoever thinks the UN was made for safety or whatever are kidding themselves...theyre just there for power and money.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

As I've said before, the UN is useless.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
