The UN is the WORLD's "democratic" forum.  An almost nakedly transparent indicator of where the world (and its individual members) stands, as reflected by the outcomes of deliberation and votes, on any given international issue.

Any "shaft", which I think 64hoo uses as a term to mean "anything Trump doesn't want", or "refusal to do what Trump wants", is merely a reflection of World political/diplomatic/financial/social alignment.

The UN has proven it prefers measured approaches, non-crippling sanctions, and a constant desire for diplomatic approaches.

Trump, alternatively, has signaled from the beginning, in just about EVERY move international and domestic, that he is impatient, improvident, and will seek literal and figurative nuclear options to get his way.

How does a generally "democratic" body react to that?  What happens when leaders all get in the same room, and only one of them is screaming "Gimme what I want or I burn the house down!"

Trump has thumbed his nose. . .
