The US only has veto power in the Security Council, not the General Assembly.

@Smapti I know that you in no way represent this administration, but – gut feeling: I certainly don’t want to miss this monumental document dump, but do I have time to grab a sandwich first??
Only if you bring me one too. I’ll have an Italian sub with extra pepperoni, hot peppers, and plenty of oil and vinegar.
It does have uses for the USA. Always did.
I reckon those uses are irrelevant. Especially once NATO is indeed shown to have a West and East part. Who does the USA have to ask permission to be beliigerant, unless Iran becomes a problem, and then the UK, France, and maybe Germany and Italy need to do their patriotic duty and follow the Guy of Many Stupid Hats. And Putin might be just fine with that if he can at least say he might contribute some submarines to Iran.
Oh, wait, the USA still has Venezuela to conquer, which will be TREMENDOUS, and the United Nations will not be consulted, yet they might take a “shake a finger at the USA” vote.
Venezuela is the USA’s for the taking. And the nearby countries won’t have a problem. Hell, Colombia and Brazil might contribute militarily.
BTW, flying uninvited fighters over another nation’s airspace IS a Casus Belli. It’s just that it’s rather common for countries to tease each other and practice more than their nine-ball game, and nobody’s shooting anyone down at this point. The pilots are probably on a first-name basis.
A war with Venezuela is a given. Does the USA feel the need to file a Casus Belli form with the UN? They shot at our pontoon and plunked a Navy Seal, who is not at all happy.
“War” over by Christmas. Trump will take credit for the ceasefire and ALL the oil. Putin will praise him.
Bingo. I nominate @Coriolanus for the role of "Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come "
God help us all, each and every one.
Make it two!
(Just reading your sandwich order made me hungry. Thanks! Time to look in the kitchen …)
This will never not be funny:
Don’t forget Greenland.
Of course, that name will have to go. “Green”? Too woke.
Me threepio.
Back in the day, my friends and I used to say, ‘Asshooooooole Train!’
What does this even mean? I’m not familiar with the Grinch story, so is this referencing some lines from that? Not surprising, though, that they continue to misuse children’s literature for their propaganda.
It’s paraphrasing the title of the original Dr. Suess book, and the original TV special: How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Short version: all the Whos down in Whoville celebrate Christmas every year by singing and exchanging presents and eating roast beast, but the Grinch, a green monster of some sort who lives alone on a mountain with his long-suffering dog Max, hates the noise and wishes Christmas would go away. So one Christmas Eve he dresses up as Santa, straps some reindeer antlers to Max, fixes him to a sleigh, and rides down into Whoville, sliding down chimneys and stealing all the Christmas presents one-by-one while Thurl Ravenscroft sings about how he’s a piece of shit.
The next morning, the Grinch wakes up hoping to bask in the sorrow and disappointment of the Whos upon realizing he’s stolen Christmas - but instead they start singing and celebrating all the same, and he realizes that Christmas is about more than just material things, and his heart grows three sizes, and he returns all the stolen gifts and the Whos make him the guest of honor at Christmas dinner and he carves the roast beast.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with the story. It’s just racist bullshit appropriating a story about forgiveness and brotherhood and peace on Earth and goodwill to men, because MAGA are fascist nihilists to whom “owning the libs” is an end goal in and of itself.
Sorry, I was talking about “Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. Loathe entirely.” I kind of know what the story is about but don’t know if those words have something to do with it.
I assume that’s just an accurate description of how MAGA feels about brown people.

Specifically it is from the Jim Carey live-action version where he is going through the Whoville phone book.
Pronounced ‘Soice’, rhyming with ‘voice’.

Actually, the quote is from the Ron Howard film.

He really should have seen a cardiologist about that.
