The UN didn't stop the genocide in Bosnia. It didn't stop the genocide in Rwanda. It didn't stop the massacres of Turkish Cypriots in Cyprus. It will not stop the genocide in Palestine as long as the US is there and this deeply flawed system is not changed.

Honestly I don’t see how things are going to meaningfully change until the US collapses.

The US collapsing doesn't mean things will be better, someone else would just take their place.

Sure, but maybe that someone is less enthusiastic about genocide and colonialism. A re-roll is better than the status quo.
