It also shows what a pointless joke the UN has become.

Please stop talking and come back when you figure out what the United Nations actually does.
In my lifetime, the only thing I have seen the UN "do" is make itself a forum for third world crackpots and tyrants to blame the west for their problems.

Here, I'll help you out. Have you noticed that smallpox isn't a thing anymore? Who do you think is responsible for that?

It is irrational to expect the full extent of western democracy in unstable areas like Ukraine.

In other news, France is still intending to deliver the first of two Mistral-class amphibious assault ships to the Russian navy this fall and continues to see no reason for cancelling the deal.

So, if anyone assumed that the EU is implementing sanctions on Russia... FORGET IT. The bottomline is that Russia is paying France almost two billion Euros for two warships (and the United States isn't).

At least the German government seems to be somewhat discontent with France's behavior, especially since Germany had already ordered arms industry giant Rheinmetall to stop building a high-tech "combat training center" for the Russian army right after Crimea happened.

Here. Waiting for confirmation about the ultimatum part, hence "reportedly."

It seems like Donetsk and Luhansk are just more trouble than they are worth. If I were Ukrainian, I would detach those areas and join NATO.

Why aren't any mainstream new sources picking this up? I see nothing on Al-Jazeera, France24, CNN, or even RT.

That's not technically wrong but it completely misses the point. It's like saying because you oppose Polish nationalism that Bartolomeo Cristofori can be credited with Chopin's Scherzo No. 2.

Moreover, it is literally wrong to claim that because Edward Jenner discovered the smallpox vaccine that the United Nations was not responsible for the eradication of the disease.

If the UN didn't exist, the Red Cross would have eventually eradicated it. And even if the UN is effective in this area, is it still efective at its core political purpose?

I'm convinced you have little to no knowledge of the world outside the United States.

You probably have the same knowledge, both biaised. One by the American, sanitized, fact-deforming, biaised mass media, one by the Alternative, selective, fact-deforming, biaised internet media.
