Wasn’t the UN also involved the the OPCW scandal not too long ago? Didn’t the UN spend half a century pretending Taiwan was China? Wasn’t it the UN who, along with the US, invaded and murdered a fifth of the Korean population, leaving not a building standing in the northern country in their wake? Not necessarily as neutral as you’d consider it.
Beyond the point, the UN had just recently sent a representative who came back saying quite the opposite. The report that happened just a month ago, I think, came back saying there was no evidence of anything. What happened in such a short amount of time for the UN to completely change its story. If the UN is so certain, and this isn’t another WMD’s or incubator babies in Kuwait moment, why aren’t they more willing to use less qualifiers in their speech?
Many of the people in opposition have no reason to like China or any of the other countries. We’re tired of our own countries bullshit. We don’t have an interest in eating any more of it.
I never said anything about the UN’s credibility. You are attacking it but then you also go and cite a UN report that you failed to even link to… I would love a link if you have it. Regardless I think the report is worth reading. They specifically explain how all the evidence was gathered and some of it is stuff you could even check for yourself
I definitely would never purposely imply that the UN is “neutral”. It’s a collection of large and complex institutions, sometimes fighting against each other. The previous president of the World Bank for example, Jim Yong Kim, spent the 90s protesting about the fact that the World Bank and the IMF were the US’s tools to financially enslave the Third World. Attributing something to “the UN” is meaningless. That’s why I specifically pointed out the background of the report, who did it, etc
Btw I think you should reread my comment. I think there was some misunderstandings. I’m pretty clearly critical of the media narratives around it. You’re kinda going off for no reason
