>>SAUDI-ARABIA is SKUM

It's scum, not skum. And, more precisely, pond scum. Well, lower actually. The fungus that feeds on pond scum. No, lower. The pus that infects the mucus that cruds up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum.

>>Germany, France, Russia are all opposed to this war Germany & France are organizing the opposition.

Yes, but not for the reasons you believe. The dynamics have changed. The UN was once a buffer where east met west. Now, there is but one superpower, and the UN has become a soapbox the non-superpowers to speak to the rest of the world and attempt to influence US policy. All the US has to do is cut off financial support, and the soapbox will crumble under their feet. The only useful purpose for the UN going forward is their humanitarian programs, which are generally successful and badly needed.
