"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

You are confusing two different universes:
It is time to drop that fantasy that the UN or the international law has any power over the US or Europe imperialist bloodlust. The turd Marco Rubio perfectly summarized what the US thinks of the UN: ""I don't care what the UN says".
In summary, the U.S. does not obey international law.
Do you know what veto rights at UNSC are?
Do you know the UN literally has an army?
Did you read up about anything in the resolution before jumping to China's defense?
I know what it is and that's why I am telling you that you are believing in this fantasy that the international law has any binding effect over the US.
One example of the many failures of the UNSC is Haiti. Has the UNSC stopped the US from arms smuggling weapons to Haiti? As a reminder, UNSC imposed an arms embargo on Haiti in 2022
What you are currently doing is desperately diluting the blame from the imperialists and to remove the focus on the real aggressors(Europe and the US).
Do yourself a favor and read the resolution which China just passed before pulling out random stuff about Haiti, this is getting emberassing.
What you are currently doing is desperately diluting the blame from the imperialists and to remove the focus on the real aggressors (every member of UNSC including China and Russia)
Haiti is not some "random stuff" that you can dismiss. It literally is a case example why putting your faith in the UN and UNSC is idealism and delusion at this point. Even with the UNSC, they never stopped this but actually made the situation a lot worse:
It amazes me how people can still believe in the UN after all of these years of failure to stop the genocide in Palestine, to stop the bleeding of Haiti, to stop the deadly blockade on Cuba or to stop any of the US war crimes in the Caribbean. It is bizarre.
Yes, it's like Israel has violated international law multiple times and still UN hasn't done shit. The UNSC is nothing but symbolic, the actual power to impose the law comes from countries' hard power (economic and military), not from law.
And while I do have criticism of China, it's extremely idiotic to think they would enter in an open war with the US. Not even the US dares to challenge China in an open confrontation. It's not like people want the end of the world with a nuclear apocalypse.
The US constantly violates international laws and nothing ever happens.
Isn'treal already violated this resolution and USA let them, idk why anyone expected otherwise.
