Monks, a statement endowed with five factors is well-spoken, not ill-spoken. It is blameless & unfaulted by knowledgeable people. Which five?

It is spoken at the right time. It is spoken in truth. It is spoken affectionately. It is spoken beneficially. It is spoken with a mind of good-will.

The UN is limited due to the fact that countries like China and Russia have veto powers over any actions. That's right, Russia and China, absolute dictatorial autocracies can veto any proposal for the United Nations to intervene in a countries disputes.

What a poo poo system.
Only that it's the US that uses its veto the most, especially when someone wants to ban cluster bombs or acknowledge that children have rights.

Edit: VV: The US is basically the comic book villain of the veto.
