Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

To be fair, it's actually thanks to all 5 permanent security council members.
There's no atrocity that at least one of them won't veto UN doing anything about.
Condemning the many crimes of Israel will be vetoed by the US, sometimes also the UK and/or France
Russia vetoes consequences for their own atrocities, as does the US, China, and to a lesser degree the UK and France
The US vetoes consequences for the atrocities of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
Etc etc until you get the effectively toothless UN we have now.
