      I stand corrected, their track record seems to be getting used to control unarmed crowds (throwing rocks 😱) with chemical weapons and sex trafficking in the places they’re deployed

        Absolutely wild accusations to throw out with no sources

        You can’t possibly think that a monitoring mission for the UN is armed with chemical weapons lmfao

            I worked with a guy who was a UN ambassador. they get shot at all-the-time, but they can’t shoot back unless they feel their life is truly in danger. we’re talking pinned down with little to no cover and zero backup from local administration.

            “do the best you can without making the situation worse.” and that always means, don’t kill people.

            UN forces are certified bad asses, so when you claim they’re corrupted trigger happy psychopaths, I’ll call bullshit and point out they likely were sent into dangerous situations with little to no support where you(yes you) would have little to no hope of getting out alive without making the situation even worse.

              You seem to have lots of faith in them, I don’t particularly, though I haven’t worked with anyone who’s been getting paid to work with them either.

            “they should have killed all the Israelis, and simultaneously are bastards for using exclusively tear gas against people actively throwing petrol bombs at them, and trying to burn down the building with them inside”

            What a reasonable take
