Nadine, France hasn't been on my side for a few decades. They are still an unapologetic terrorist state. Neither is Syria, also on the Security Council, on my side. Neither has Germany been showing the high standards I expect from my side. Russia hasn't been doing too well either - Iraq is of course a competitor with Russian oil and gas, so having Iraq off the market is good for them.

That's why the UN needs reconstituting, so that France is relegated to a position more matching how they are.

My side has been doing a great job in difficult circumstances with pathetic international support, including from our NZ Prime Minister who is [I suspect] focused on getting a big job in a socialist control-freak UN.
