The United Nations abject failure has one primary cause - Western imperialism!

The world is being pushed to the abyss of a Third World War, one that could bring the final destruction of the planet and humanity.

This week, the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations was held on the brink of world war. It should prompt pause and inquiry why an organization formed 79 years ago at the end of World War Two to prevent future wars is such a failure.

Unbridled Western imperialism is and always has been at the root of global danger and impotence of the United Nations.

The Second World War defeated specific forms of imperialism - Nazi Germany and Japan. It did not eradicate the disease of imperialism, which soon metastasized in the form of the United States and its Western partners.

Two concurrent conflicts threaten to spiral out of control into international wars. In the Middle East, the wanton aggression by Israel against Lebanon is threatening to drag the entire region into open conflict. The wholesale massacre of civilians by the Israeli regime in Gaza over the past year - now extended into Lebanon - is a diabolical affront to the United Nations and international law.

Of greater danger to world peace is the conflict in Ukraine, the biggest war on the European continent since the end of World War Two. That conflict is heading into its third year. It is recklessly being stoked by the United States and NATO powers that have sought every way to escalate the proxy war against Russia rather than seek a diplomatic solution.

At the United Nations General Assembly, Western leaders lined up to deplore the brink of war. Yet they have systematically incited both conflicts. Their hypocrisy is sickening.

This week while United States President Joe Biden claimed to be advocating for world peace and urging restraint, the United States signed off $8 billion in additional military supplies each to Israel and Ukraine. Other Western leaders like Frances Macron and Britains Starmer are equally contemptible for their double-speak and duplicity.

All of them have enabled the genocide in Gaza and the aggression against Lebanon by their unswerving support for the Israeli regime.

The United States and the Western allies - under the umbrella of the NATO military organization - have funneled nearly $200 billion in weapons and other aid into Ukraine over the past two years to wage a futile proxy war against Russia.

The cynical talk about "defending democracy" is a disgusting cover for the real intention of strategically defeating Russia, as Western leaders have clumsily admitted at times.

In their obsession to subjugate Russia, Western powers are pushing an insane escalation to permit Ukraine to use long-range NATO missiles for deep strikes into Russian territory.

Moscow this week warned that such an attack could trigger a nuclear conflagration. In response to ongoing provocations, the Kremlin is revising its nuclear defense doctrine in a way that would make proxy attacks by the West liable for nuclear retaliation.

It is not clear if the Western enemies of Russia will sober up to the ultimate danger. But it surely is alarming that certain Western officials like United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken are decrying Russias rational warning as "nuclear saber-rattling".

Nuclear war is also emanating from the tensions that the United States and its NATO partners are provoking against China. Washington,D.C. is continuing to send major weapons shipments to the Chinese territory of Taiwan to antagonize Chinas sovereignty. The United States and its allies have increased naval patrols in the Taiwan Strait. Just this week, Japan - the imperial aggressor from World War Two - made its first combat naval passage in the strait accompanied by American allies, Australia and New Zealand.

It is odious that Western leaders can stand up in front of the United Nations assembly and proclaim concern for peace and democracy when it is they and their ruling classes that are the very protagonists assaulting international law and the United Nations Charter.

There is no mystery why the United Nations has failed to uphold peace. The Western imperialist powers led by the United States have systematically vandalized any semblance of international order - ironically while piously declaring the sanctity of "rules-based order".

The United Nations was established in the ashes and ruins of World War Two. The lofty principles that were supposed to define the United Nations were never respected from the outset. The United Nations has been unraveling over the past 79 years from the corrosive duplicity and criminality of Western imperialism.

At the inaugural conference of the United Nations in San Francisco, then-United States President Harry Truman waxed lyrical with ideals and virtue. He appealed to the conference, saying: "Let us labor to achieve peace. We must make certain that another war is impossible."

He added: "While these great states have a special responsibility to enforce the peace, their responsibility is based upon the obligations resting upon all states, large and small, not to use force in
international relations, except in the defense of law. The responsibility of the great states is to serve, and not dominate the peoples of the world."

Truman denounced Nazi Germany and fascist Japan and the nefarious tenet that "might is right".

It was a brazen fraud of monstrous proportions by a self-appointed "great power".

Less than four months after making his address in April 1945, Truman ordered the atomic bombing of Japan, killing over 200,000 people in what was a gratuitous use of genocidal mass terrorism.

Five years later, the United States again violated the Geneva Conventions by murdering millions of Korean civilians in indiscriminate aerial bombing during the Korean War (1950-53). Only a few years later, the United States and its Western partners repeated the same genocidal war in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Over the past eight decades, the United States has waged war after war in every corner of the globe under various pretexts. Fighting communism, war on drugs, war on terror, protecting human rights, defending democracy, preventing weapons of mass destruction, and so on. How despicably farcical and tiresome.

No other nation on earth has violated international law and the rights of other nations more than the United States in its criminal pursuit for global dominance. In that criminal objective, it has been aided and abetted by Western minions, primarily Britain and other European members of the NATO axis.

Western media and historians will say that the United Nations was thwarted for decades by the Cold War and the use of veto power by the Soviet Union at the Security Council.

The truth is the United Nations and its Charter governing world peace have been continually defiled by the United States.

The root cause is the imperialist system in which the United States evolved to have the executive power. That system is predicated on exploitation and violence against others by those who believe they possess the exceptional privilege of might is right. So much for Trumans admonishment.

Imperialism instigated World War One and Two. Peace did not prevail just because Nazi Germany and Japan were defeated in 1945. Other nations took up the mantle of imperialism and today, we can see the barbarous evil of that system all around us.

The world is being pushed to the abyss of a Third World War, one that could bring the final destruction of the planet and humanity.

To quote the words of Harry Truman: "If we do not die together, we must live together in peace." However, what Truman would never have added is the key to living in peace is: to finally vanquish Western imperialism.

The future of humanity depends on it.
