For those who missed the UN meeting

12. They DID talk about the maternity hospital.

The United Nations is aware of what Russia did, and how they lied about it. The birth of the baby was announced, along with the baby's picture. This bombing is labeled a war crime. The entire world knows about the maternity hospital bombing and in particular, the featured woman and her new baby. They stopped short of mentioning that perhaps the family and the baby won't survive.

It is my impression that the UN is not meant to actually fight a war. They are more inline with assisting civilians. To this extent, they can go in and help the millions of refugees and casualties (I call casualties also those that have been bombed out of their homes, and are now standing in the streets with no food or other care.) But, the UN is not going to create a no-fly zone.

Also, the UN troops are made up of all the countries, and have to be gathered. They have a ten day quick strike force, and a mandated 60 day deployment deadline. Their forward force is something like 4,000 men.

So, this is not enough to do what you want done. Now, NATO could have stopped Putin. But, both the UN and NATO are treading lightly out of fear of WW3.

Russia would only vote to veto any such deployment. That is why they should kick Russia out of the UN; at which point China would probably veto. Their hands are tied. China might vote for humanitarian deployment only. So, kick Russia out, please.
