Well before US president-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated in January 2025, the UN has been atrophying in power, credibility, and even relevance. The international organization has faced many challenges since its establishment in 1945 in the shadow of the most horrific chapter in modern human history.

Western hypocrisy in slapping Russia with the most severe regime of sanctions ever following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, while fully enabling Israel’s genocide and underlying, decades-old system of settler-colonialism , apartheid and illegal military occupation has also reached unprecedented levels, making a mockery of the west’s claim of even caring about universal human rights. Indonesia’s foreign minister at a recent UN debate on Gaza called on states to not “bury the Principles of the UN Charter and international law under the rubble of double standards, trust deficit and zero-sum game”.

Did Austin Seibert just suffer the most agonizing few minutes in NFL history?
In the dying moments of a crucial game against a hated rival, the Washington Commanders kicker was subjected to a brutal series of humiliations
If you’re under the impression that NFL special teams this season have been especially wonky, you are completely and utterly correct.
Still, as weird as it special teams had been through the first 11 weeks of the season, nothing could quite compare to what happened on Sunday. Kicker misses and miscues have been legion, but Sunday saw far more blunders than usual.
