    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.

      I think you would do wisely to correct your alt-text: it says 'bla' where you mean 'black'.

        @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 it's also 88 years since the Munich Conference showed that dialogue can only get you so far

            @EUCommission Your mind has played you a bad trick and you wrote "World war III".

            Maybe you were thinking about some president who does not respond well to dialogue... 🤔

            Dialogue only works if both parts agree.

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

                    The world seems to be a different place than it was 80 years ago though..

                    Talks and dialogue should go hand in hand with consequence and it feels like we lack that currently

                            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.

                                  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 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.

                                      Then DO it! Fill the financial gaps the US leaves us with.

                                        @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.
