Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoPretty much every country was a member. This was the makeup of the security council at the time. Yugoslavia abstained, Soviet Union was boycotting the UN.
Then why are we even talking about it? Because it provides an opportunity to learn from mistakes and avoid repeating them.
“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.

“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 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.”
