And yeah, the collective punishment through sanctions is worse than abducting a president, ok

Usually the US just bars people they don’t like from entering the country, so they can’t get to the UN.

    Not that the u.s. always obeyed that rule. When it refused a visa to Yasser Arafat in 1988, the General Assembly held its reunion in Geneva instead.

    It's just ironic that the empire(, that seeks hegemony by imposing its will through strength, propaganda, so many double standards), hosts the United Nations headquarters, that seeks multilateralism/harmony/'unity, but not at the expense of diversity'/'diversity, but not at the expense of unity'.
    We're still imperfect, what matters is that the new ideas are heard and tested if they're an improvement, e.g. direct democracy for the west, and multilateralism for the world. And/Or something else, we still have a long way to go before Perfection/'the End'.
