    80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

    The good?
    Eight decades without World War III.

    Where do we stand today?
    It’s complicated.

    But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

    80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
    Today, we must choose it again.

    @EUCommission
    Yeah, “complicated”. Everyone gets a seat at the table and they're told to shut up.

    See the illegal blockade of Cuba for the crime not bending to the will of the US.

    See Russia still having the front row seat.

    See the USA bombing, kidnapping and supporting terrorism wherever they want.

    See Israel still doing genocide.

    See the rise of fascism which doesn't want dialogue, but blood.

      @EUCommission The problem is that dialogue requires two parties willing to engage in it, where violence needs only one. If one party chooses violence, then it is a mistake to expect dialogue to end it. Violence only ends when it becomes too costly compared to its rewards.

          @EUCommission sure, but the UN as it is just doesn't work. One simple reform: get rid of the five Security Council's permanent members and their power of veto.

            Palestine doesn't get a seat but the Vatican does. Mate it makes sense.

                @EUCommission "Stoicism" the keyword as your mistress said.

                “Stoicism teaches us not to fear challenges, but to meet them with clarity and resolve” - mistress leyen.

                And what big problems did you resolved with your "stoicism" - Ukraine war? No.

                Trump will invade Greenland. No, you will not resolve this problem with your "stoicism".

                Because you showed weakness (your mistress " stoicism") instead of power. You only risk 450 million human life with your "stoicism".

                Good job.

                  @EUCommission I just talked about 80 years of peace in Europe with my kids. It's unique for Europe to live in peace that long. But maybe that's also the reason we ignore the suffering caused by war as no one is around anymore telling you stories about how it was 80 years ago.

                    @EUCommission
                    8 decades without world war iii
                    8 decades of unchecked power concentrated in the hands of 5 rogue states
                    6 decades of treating taiwan as a second-class citizen, laying the path to invasion
                    8 decades of an unenforceable concept of human rights based on compromise, and 5 decades of its binding version which allowed each country to choose which human rights it doesn't believe in
                    8 decades of writing reports that no one reads, about problems no one wants to solve

                    it's still better than nothing, and most of those (though not all) were compromises they had to make to prevent the un from falling apart. but it's very very far from a room where each of the 8 billion people gets a seat. and preventing wwiii by giving the people who have the power to start it so much undeserved economic and political power that war is no longer in their best interest, is a questionable decision at best.

                      Dialog yes, but we also must watch our backs. Since the beginning of 2025, we have seen the world changing more than before, and people's voices are not being heard.

                        @EUCommission They’re fine words you write and hard to disagree with. But the structure of the UN means not everyone gets an equal seat in the room. Real power is reserved to the wealthy/historically powerful nations - and the UN becomes a fig-leaf for their brutality and criminality. The EU, through its complicity in the Gaza genocide, and its habitual acquiescence in US violence, has done as much to delegitimise the authority of the UN as any other government/organisation.

                          I'll not joke for your typo (World War III), you stop to joke with our feelings.

                          I'm European, proud to be part of a dream. I was here when we promised ourselves "NO MORE WAR IN EUROPE and in world".
                          I was so happy when I saw no more boundaries between countries.
                          My daughter could travel and work everywhere and feel at home in EU. Wonderful!
                          It is great, it is the pillow on which WE dream.
                          But while we, people, are dreaming, you, politics, are fucking everything.
                          Stop do it.

                            @EUCommission For these words not to sound hollow, collectively, we must immediately recognise the State of Palestine and withdraw veto rights for states like the USA, Russia and others.

                                  80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

                                  The good?
                                  Eight decades without World War III.

                                  Where do we stand today?
                                  It’s complicated.

                                  But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

                                  80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
                                  Today, we must choose it again.

                                  @EUCommission I'd say that's a bit presumptuous

                                    I'll not joke for your typo (World War III), you stop to joke with our feelings.

                                    I'm European, proud to be part of a dream. I was here when we promised ourselves "NO MORE WAR IN EUROPE and in world".
                                    I was so happy when I saw no more boundaries between countries.
                                    My daughter could travel and work everywhere and feel at home in EU. Wonderful!
                                    It is great, it is the pillow on which WE dream.
                                    But while we, people, are dreaming, you, politics, are fucking everything.
                                    Stop do it.

                                    @storiespettinate @EUCommission it wasn’t a typo. Read the text once more. It says: without WWIII

                                      oh yes. My dyslexia bring me in error. I'm sorry for that.
                                      @JohanDiederik thank you to correct me.

                                      But the sense of my feeling doesn't change.

                                      The current choices of EU are not at the level of our really power, culture, democratic dream and union. The european people are better than their politics, we have higher dreams and objectives.
