To remove the us’s ultimate veto power at the UN General assembly? Consider the following.

Were the debt of the US to be wiped clean and/or distributed equally to all member states. Perhaps a clean financial slate and “reset” for America could be exchanged for removal of the United States’ ultimate veto power in the United Nations General Assembly? It’s a new world. Time for a reset.

They'll just leave the UN and feel even less pressured by their authority (and the pressure is already practically zero).

The UN is a forum for countries to discuss diplomacy, not world's police.

You want all the big players in, hence they get veto power, or they'll just quit.

@Elessar can we reform the veto power? Require coalition building or a minimum number of cosponsors for a veto? Certainly no one country should be able to hold the entire world hostage (in limbo)!

@exchrist That would have no effect minus for causing the UN to end the same way as the league of the nations

@Elessar something needs to change the un is destined for failure as it currently stands it needs consolidation simplification reorganization perhaps at the continent level?

@exchrist EU, UK, Australia, Canada, NZ, then Korea and Japan, then maybe Brazil, Argentina and the rest of the democratic world need to grow teeth before the UN can be taken seriously

@Elessar the US needs to see consequences. I see it that as you noted everyone else will continue to have their teeth removed by America until they grow a pair.
