The bureaucratic Sovietization of the UN, proof of its decline and ultimate collapse. This produces policy paralysis, hypocrisy, and ultimately loss of legitimacy. The UN increasingly resembles the League of Nations—procedurally busy, morally loud, strategically irrelevant. Bottom line: Victory through war defines international borders.
Vietnam stands in the shadow of Soviet defeats in the 1967 and ’73 Arab Israeli wars, viewed from the perspective of 2026; Nasser qualifies as a Soviet client state where Sadat expelled Soviet advisors before the war. US imperialism in Vietnam treated S. Vietnam as a banana republic. Unlike Korea, US strategy intimidated by the threat of Soviet or Chinese intervention failed to invade and conquer North Vietnam like MacArthur did in North Korea.
Furthermore the corruption of the Military Industrial Complex “monopoly” and entrenched bureaucratization of Washington after LBJ/assassination of Kennedy starkly contrasts with post WWII Truman’s Korean imperialism – Containment policy and Marshal Plan. The Sovietization of Washington as a bureaucratic super-state which dominated the 50 States of the Republic mirrors Soviet bureaucratic big brother domination of the states of the USSR.
The USSR’s apparatchik system or LBJ’s micromanaged Vietnam quagmire, prioritize ideological posturing over pragmatic outcomes, leading to institutional decay. The UN’s trajectory indeed mirrors the League of Nations’ impotence, failing to enforce norms equitably and risking obsolescence in a multipolar world where power realities (e.g., Crimea’s annexation or Golan recognitions) override rhetoric.
The former perhaps best exemplified in US support for the British & French UN Resolution 242 and 338 which sought to restrict and limit the growing Israeli weight in determining the balance of power across the Middle East; both England & France sought to negate their great power defeat in the disastrous 1956 Suez Crisis which reduced both countries to second tier powers during the Cold War.
Containment, caused the US to become the Police Force of the Planet; especially after Truman invaded Korea without a Congressional declaration of war. Truman did not micromanage the Korean conflict, at least not until he overruled MacArthur’s demand to employ atomic bombs against China. LBJ ran the Vietnam war from air conditioned offices in Washington DC. The US defeat in Vietnam came directly because Westmoreland only wasted smoke compared to general MacArthur. Two completely different breeds of generals. Westmoreland a bureaucrat while MacArthur a warrior. LBJ’s micromanagement and UN fact-finding missions share the same DNA.
Furthermore, at Camp David PM Begin curtly inform Carter that Israel was not a banana republic! Carter never forgave Begin for this rebuke which called the spade of US imperialism in the Middle East – a spade. UN 242 expresses the strategic interests of European and US/USSR Great Powers rather than the 6 Day War. Russia and Poland occupy captured Prussia to this day. Post WWII the Allies made a forced German population transfer from both Prussia and the Czech Republic! This totally contradicts the false rhetoric of UN 242. And no UN condemnation for France’s Versailles spoils or Britain’s treaty-imposed divisions, yet relentless framing of Israel’s post-1967 gains as “inadmissible.” This hypocrisy fuels 2026 debates, where Crimea’s status quo persists amid global outrage, underscoring victors’ justice.
In point of fact both Begin and Sharon governments agreed with “withdrawal from territories” 242 premise to achieve peace. Begin withdrew Israel from the captured Sinai and Sharon withdrew, post Oslo Accords, Israeli domination of Gaza. The latter effectively established a “Palestinian state”(s) in Gaza and Palestinian autonomy in Area 1 of Samaria. 242’s “inadmissibility of acquisition of territory by war” clashes with Allied actions—expelling 12-14 million Germans from East Prussia (now Polish/Russian Kaliningrad), Sudetenland (Czech), and other areas in 1945-1950, with millions more dying enroute. Russia/Poland retain those lands, redrawn at Potsdam/Yalta without referendums. (some estimates reach 14–16 million total across Central/Eastern Europe). Deaths during flight, expulsions, internment, disease, and violence ranged from over 500,000 (conservative figures) to 2 million or more (higher scholarly estimates), with causes including malnutrition, exposure, and targeted killings.
These territories – redrawn without referendums, and Russia/Poland retain them today—Kaliningrad as a Russian exclave, former German lands in Poland integrated post-1945. This was “victors’ justice”: Allies sanctioned mass population transfers to create ethnically homogeneous states and prevent future irredentism, echoing the same acquisition-by-force logic 242 later condemned. In 2026, parallels are frequently drawn to Russia’s 2014 Crimea annexation (widely condemned) or Israel’s Golan control (U.S.-recognized in 2019 under Trump), underscoring how norms bend to power dynamics.
UN 242 etc etc etc completely ignores the British “occupation” of Northern Ireland. Or the French “occupation” of Alsace-Lorraine which France captured following WWI. These double standards—victors’ justice vs. post-colonial restraint—undermines 242’s political rhetoric. This critique echoed in 2026 discussions of Crimea (2014 annexation). It illustrates how “rules-based order” bends to power realities.
Still the UN continues to pretend that Israel remains a protectorate territory with its many condemnations and attempts to slander Israel post the Oct7th Abomination War as a Apartheid Genocide State. European States refuse to validate Israel’s decision to make Jerusalem its Capital. They refuse to weigh the post Shoah Jewish oath: “NEVER AGAIN”; Europeans shall never again impose “solutions” for “their” Jewish problem. The refusal to weigh “Never Again” in policy—dismissing Jewish self-determination post-Holocaust—manifests in non-recognition of Jerusalem as capital or Israel’s Middle Eastern regional grouping. Arab states’ exclusionary tactics (blocking Israel from Asia-Pacific UN bodies since 1949) perpetuate this “Apartheid Policy racism,” unmatched for any other member.
The UN adamantly refuses to recognize Israel as a country of the Middle East. No other UN member country treated with such Apartheid Policy racism-exclusion. This alone undermines the UN’s claim to neutrality. Only Trump has recognized Jerusalem the Golan and Area C of Samaria as part of the Israeli victory through wars international borders. Britain and France hold lingering grudges from the ’56 Suez where the Cold War super powers reduced these former great state powers to US dependents.
The UN compares to a whore-house where nation state(s) coalitions substitute strategic state national interests with soap box preaching morality which views Israel as a Colonial Crusader State. UN Resolution 242 (and broader UN frameworks) selectively enforces principles like territorial integrity while overlooking historical precedents involving European powers. From the vantage of January 18, 2026—amidst the ongoing Gaza truce fallout and heightened global scrutiny of Israel’s actions—these double standards appear even more pronounced, fueling debates over whether the “rules-based order” is little more than a facade for great-power realpolitik. Critics, including Israeli officials and pro-Israel advocates, often frame the UN as an institution where moral posturing conceals strategic alliances, with Israel bearing the brunt of disproportionate condemnation.
Alsace-Lorraine, annexed under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. Despite local German-speaking populations and cultural ties to Germany, no comprehensive referendum was held—only limited plebiscites in adjacent areas like the Saar. France integrated it as a spoils-of-war gain, redrawing borders to punish Germany and bolster its security. In interwar discourse, British and Irish press often viewed it as a Franco-German internal matter, with little international outcry over “occupation.” Today, it’s fully French territory, unchallenged by UN resolutions, contrasting sharply with 242’s rhetoric applied to Israel’s post-1967 gains.
The 1921 partition of Ireland, formalized by the Anglo-Irish Treaty, created Northern Ireland as part of the UK amid civil unrest and without a island-wide referendum. Unionist majorities in the North opted to remain British, but nationalist grievances persist, viewing it as an imposed division. The UN has never framed this as an unlawful “occupation” under resolutions like 242, despite parallels in ethnic division and territorial claims. French perspectives on the Northern Ireland peace process (e.g., Good Friday Agreement) highlight transnational hypocrisy, where European powers evade the scrutiny applied to non-Western conflicts. In 2026 discussions, this is likened to Crimea’s 2014 annexation—condemned globally—while Northern Ireland’s status quo endures without comparable UN intervention.
The UN Human Rights Office’s January 2026 report chronicles “intensification of decades of severe racial discrimination” in the West Bank, explicitly warning of apartheid under international law. Similarly, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (September 2025) declared Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, citing mass killings, starvation, and erasure. The UN hypocrisy directly compares to new generations of born again Xtian totally oblivious to the 2000+ years of Church war crimes against Humanity which culminated in the European systematic slaughter of 75% of Western European Jewry. The UN declaration of Israeli “genocide” directly compares to Holocaust Denial, where the UN-Church stands on a soap box and preaches blood libels against Jews. The Oct7th Abomination War does not remotely compare to the war crimes of the Shoah.
UN 242 etc etc etc represents European ‘great powers’ attempts to impose a two state ‘Final Solution’. Israel simply not a UN protectorate territory. Palestine ceased to exist in 1948. England separated Trans-Jordan from its Palestine mandate territories at the Jordan river. The UN condemned Jordans’ nationalization of Samaria in 1950. Arafat’s PLO Charter of 1964 referred only to 1948 Israel as occupied territory – not Samaria or Gaza as occupied territory! Had Ben Gurion named the new Jewish state Palestine in 1948, the opportunist rhetoric of the displaced “Palestinian people” would never have existed! The Nakba of 800,000 Jews expelled from Arab countries surpasses the 650 Arab refugees who fled from Israeli/Palestine in 1948.
European States do not determine the international borders of the Jewish state nor where it establishes it Capital! East Jerusalem as “occupied” serves only their great power interests to dominate the balance of power across the Middle East by dismembering Israel much like the 19th Century great powers did to China. UN ‘groupy clicks’ totally ignore Israel’s 1980 Basic Law declaring it the undivided capital.
The UN does not classify Israel in the Middle East/Asia-Pacific group due to longstanding exclusion by Arab states. All Arab Israeli War fought over the fanatic classification of Jews as dhimmi second class inferior race politics; Arab have always rejected the Balfour Declaration which resulted in the 1922 League of Nations Palestine Mandate to establish a Jewish National Home in the Middle East. All Arab UN member states voted against UN Resolution 181 wherein 33 or 2/3rds of all UN member states validated Jews equal rights to achieve self-determination. The UN groupy-clicks voted for UN 3379 – Zionism is Racism.
Only under Trump did the US recognize Jerusalem (2017, embassy move 2018), Golan Heights sovereignty (2019, captured 1967, annexed 1981), and propose Area C annexation in his 2020 plan affirmed “victory through wars” borders, openly reject and contradict Russian, EU – UN norms. Britain and France’s grudges from the 1956 Suez Crisis—where US/USSR pressure humbled them—persist in their Middle East imperialist policies; fundamentally aligning against Israeli war victories in order to reclaim their degraded & lost influence in determining the balance of power in this region. The EU delusions of grandeur utterly shocked by the Israeli victories in the ’48 & ’67 Two Israeli Wars of Independence. The guilt of the Shoah has besmirched the good name reputation of Europe and made the church a dead religion across those lands.
These UN dynamics mirror the bureaucratic “Sovietization” which greatly contributed to the collapse of the USSR and the defeat of the US in Vietnam. Only the future knows if the UN shall go the way of the League of Nations. Both failed institutions centralize moralizing over pragmatic strategy, restraining actors like Israel while ignoring parallels in Korea or Middle East client states. In 2026, with Gaza’s truce fragile and Crimea analogies fresh, the “rules-based order” bends predictably to power. Which element—perhaps UNRWA alliance with Hamas on Oct 7th scandals or European hypocrisy—merits deeper exploration?!
