Truth to Power

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine speaks via remote video link during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Tuesday.

Jaded observers who have been tracking

the interrationships and issue-cliques

of the United Nations in sanctimonious

statements that bear little resemblance to

reality, where UN bodies clearly misinterpret

the mission of that august body dedicated to

improving international relations and securing

security and advancement for all its member

states have long ago concluded the global

conciliator to be an abject lesson in human

failure. It has, however, taken a single leader

under bleak duress seeing his nation destroyed

by a member of the Security Council calling

it out for its indignant condemnation of war

yet failing the test of substance and effectiveness

to demonstrate to the world at large just how

very useless an enterprise dedicated to peace 

that global representative is, challenging it to

either respect its mandate or close up shop.

In Borodyanka, northwest of Kyiv, an estimated 200 dead lay beneath the rubble after being hit by Russian rockets and airstrikes on Tuesday, local authorities said.
