The UN knows the world is in chaos

The UN knows the world itself is out of control. It seems to have little restraint in advising it at times of intense uncivil behaviour. It has a limitless belief in human kindness and political decency.

The fact is this is naive. Many of its members have deeply set problems in their polities. These are disregarded to enable the movement of people in any direction. There are no routes like flight paths or lines for nautical journeys.

The humour is that random voices proclaim an era of jubilee for hardship, but no plans for this are forthcoming. It’s an unrealistic dream to fulfil. It’s a marginal goal in even the best of times.
