  1. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/24/joe-biden-un-ukraine-israel-gaza) reduced by 90%. (I’m a bot)

    > Joe Biden has sought to defend his foreign policy achievements on the world stage with an address to the United Nations general assembly against a backdrop of three brutal, intractable wars that have stymied world diplomats seeking an end to the bloodshed.

    > Biden condemned Hamas for its 7 October attack on Israel but also expressed sympathy for the millions of people in Gaza who were "Going through hell" amid the ongoing Israeli operation there.

    > Addressing the risk of a potential full-scale war in Lebanon, Biden said that a "Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest" and added that "Even though the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible.”

  2. “I’m so weary of spending pocket change to defend the world from imperial atrocity” -useful idiots

  3. Democracies need to stick together and defend each other or they will all perish due to Chinese, Russian and Iranian imperialism.

  4. Russia has decided to veto in advance anything related to this for the following 500 years.

    Dissolve the UN, it’s as useful as a chocolate teapot.

  5. Other than the obvious, taking money from insidious resources, the only reason to defend against this is that you were only capable of checkers rather than chess
