      “No state should hold a veto,” he told delegates. “If a member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter, it should lose its voting rights temporarily.”

      👏👏👏👏

      A true statesman.

      Alexander Stubb and Mark Carney are two of the most outstanding politicians on the world stage today.

      We need more like them…

      This is excellent, changes would definitely make UN more fit for the reality of modern times, where it’s not so obvious that the „good“ nations will behave good under any leader they might have.

      I expect a pretty great future ahead of Stubb, seems like he’s gearing up to take over the torch from Stoltenberg to become our next Scandi Global Leader <3

      I think Trump also kind of recommended sweeping UN reforms – only he did it with „you all are going to hell“, which I felt was slightly less diplomatic.

      They would put it up to a vote and it would be veto. The circle goes round and round.

      Imaging if Stubb was chairman of the EU in stead of fearmouse Von der Leyen.

      all these super-national entities are useless if they can’t apply their resolutions. it’s a charade

      EDIT: changed laws to resolutions

      As what Queen Elizabeth did, she always waited for the tight opportunity to push her things forward.

      Seems with this, we need to wait for a place in time where somehow leaders of the same cloth come together and can make decisions that are needed (sounds like breaking space time…).

      Everything I’ve learned about this dude is he’s a baller. Says the right things, but also an amazing mediator. A true statesman.

      Without veto powers the big countries leave the UN. Binding resolutions with a majority made up from very small countries with no standing army or ability to enforce the resolution is a joke. It’s a great thought but if Finland was in the security council with veto power, he wouldn’t be saying this

      The UN is basically a symbolic framework rather than an enforcement body. Its power relies almost entirely on the political will of its member states, and if key players disagree, nothing happens. Security Council vetoes, lack of funding, or divergent national interests mean resolutions are often ignored.

      It presumes shared values and incentives, respect for human rights, international law, and global norms, but in reality, countries act based on survival, ideology, or power politics. That makes consistent enforcement nearly impossible.

      In practice, the UN is useful mostly for coordination, signaling, and legitimacy, not coercion. If the major powers aren’t aligned, it can’t compel action, and it often ends up as a platform for debate and posturing.

      UN has less power than a toddler crying on the floor of Target demanding a toy. You cannot reform enough to give them power because no member state is going to put in enough resources for that to happen.

      The whole concept of UN is pretty much meh, and is a place of nothing but empty hot air. Haiti. Sudan. Gaza. Uighur. Ukraine. The list of achieving nothing goes on and on.

      First task, don’t let a fool like Poopy Pumpkinhead ramble on for an hour talking about his non-accomplishments and how every but him is stupid.

      The UN could never be everything to everyone. There will always be bad actors that will try to derail good policy. What needs to happen though is the UN needs to weed out the corruption and waste. Influence pedlars abound in the organization, and money appears to flow too freely into the hands of individuals and countries it should never get close to.

      Also please make voting power proportional to population. I don’t see a reason why Luxembourg should be able to influence a worldwide event

      He finally said what I have been thinking – remove VETO. One of the worst concepts ever.

      League of Nations vibes. The most powerful nations would just leave the organization, and form their own. Probably called the G20. You’ll have a number of countries be outsiders looking in.

      He had a series of YouTube videos called “geopolitics with Alex” before becoming president. You can see the level of thoughtfulness and true statesmanship then and even more now

      First, move the HW out of the US to a neutral country, so orange dictators won’t be able to decide who can, or can’t come to a meeting.

      Then change the way decisions are made – if every big decision is predicted to be vetoed by someone, what’s the point?

      Then revamp all the corrupt, useless organizations that either don’t solve problems, or are actually creating new ones.

      Finally, go back to the League of Nations goal: prevent wars, help stop wars.

      Thing is even without veto. What will UN do? They rely on their strong members, organizations itself is a joke
