If the UN Can’t Reform, It Must Be Replaced: Time for a New United Nations That Reflects Today’s World

If the UN Can’t Reform, It Must Be Replaced: Time for a New United Nations That Reflects Today’s World

The United Nations, born in the aftermath of World War II, is no longer equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. While crises multiply—climate collapse, AI disruption, forced migration, and rising inequality—the UN remains trapped in a system designed for a bygone era. The five permanent members (P5) of the Security Council—U.S., China, Russia, U.K., and France—continue to wield veto power, blocking meaningful change.

Yet here’s the core problem: reforming the UN requires the consent of the P5, and they have no incentive to give up their privileged position. It’s a Catch-22. Reform is necessary—but impossible from within.

The solution? If the UN cannot be reformed, it must be peacefully dissolved and rebuilt from the ground up.

๐ŸŒ A New United Nations: Democratic, Decentralized, Decisive

We call on all 195 nations to come together and establish a New United Nations, grounded in legitimacy, equity, and action. This new institution would:

  • Abolish the veto

  • Use a weighted voting formula based on:

    • 40% GDP share

    • 40% Population share

    • 20% Equal vote share (1/195 per country)

  • Replace archaic power structures with functional councils and democratic mechanisms

  • Serve as the platform for rethinking global security, trade, climate action, and AI governance

๐Ÿ” A New Security Council Reflecting Today’s Realities

The New Security Council should be composed not of WWII victors, but of the top five vote-holding nations under the 40-40-20 system:

  1. China

  2. United States

  3. India

  4. Japan

  5. Germany

These countries reflect current economic and demographic realities. However, they would not have veto power. Instead, they would rotate leadership responsibilities and serve as coordinating anchors in a more agile, equitable, and responsive council.

๐Ÿงน From Bureaucracy to Bold Action

Today’s UN suffers from institutional bloat. Endless summits, countless reports, and minimal impact. The new organization must flip the script.

We need:

  • Lean governance

  • Clear mandates

  • Direct implementation

  • Annual action scorecards

  • Problem solvers—not just policy scholars

๐Ÿ—ณ️ Electing a Real Secretary-General: Transparent and Fair

The office of the Secretary-General should no longer be decided behind closed doors. In the New UN, the Secretary-General would be elected through a transparent, democratic process using the same 40-40-20 voting formula applied across all decision-making:

  • A candidate must be nominated by one country and seconded by another

  • Each candidate must present a public platform and policy vision

  • There will be a one-month global campaign period

  • If no candidate secures over 50% in the first round, a runoff will occur between the top two

The Secretary-General would serve a five-year term, renewable once only.

This system would ensure that the world’s top diplomat has legitimacy, vision, and public accountability.

๐Ÿ”ง New Global Councils for 21st Century Challenges

The reformed UN must create specialized, empowered councils to address the world’s most urgent issues head-on.

1. Council on Climate Action

Enforce global emissions limits, manage carbon finance, and coordinate disaster response.

2. Council on AI Safety

Set global standards for AI development, risk audits, and algorithmic transparency.

3. Council on Global Trade

Architect a new multilateral trade system—one that includes migrant labor, digital goods, supply chain justice, and climate safeguards—guided by the blueprint in Rethinking Trade.

Each of these councils would operate under the 40-40-20 voting framework, ensuring fairness, representation, and actionability.

⚖️ Toward a World That Governs Itself Fairly

The old UN represents a world that no longer exists.

The New UN would be:

  • Democratic: No veto, weighted votes

  • Representative: GDP + Population + Equal Voice

  • Action-Oriented: From paralysis to performance

  • Future-Ready: Equipped to deal with AI, climate, digital economies, and human displacement

  • Accountable: Elected leadership, transparent reporting, and people-centered progress

✊ Final Thought: It’s Time to Rebuild, Not Patch

The international community cannot afford to keep patching an outdated institution. We must do what previous generations did after global upheaval: build anew.

Let the next United Nations reflect the world as it is—and guide us to the world we aspire to become.

It’s time to dissolve with dignity—and rebuild with purpose.

The Unthinkable Path: A Roadmap to Russia Joining NATO and the EU




The Unthinkable Path: A Roadmap to Russia Joining NATO and the EU

In the turbulent theater of 21st-century geopolitics, the idea of Russia joining NATO and the European Union may sound like fantasy. Given the brutality of the war in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea, and decades of mistrust between Moscow and the West, few would dare to entertain such a proposal seriously. Yet history is filled with unexpected turns—and there was a moment, not so long ago, when this very vision was not only plausible but quietly explored.

In the early 2000s, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed openness to the idea of joining NATO. In interviews and meetings with Western leaders, he floated the idea of integration—on Russia’s terms, of course. The West largely dismissed it, assuming Putin’s ambitions lay elsewhere. That assumption has proven tragically correct. But what if a long-term roadmap toward Russian integration—conditioned on sweeping reforms and genuine reconciliation—were revived? Could this be the key to ending the cycle of confrontation?

Step 1: Ceasefire and Withdrawal

No path forward is possible while Russian forces occupy Ukrainian territory. The precondition for any talks of NATO or EU engagement must be a full ceasefire, verified withdrawal, and reparations framework. This includes negotiations over Crimea and the Donbas under international law, perhaps guided by a multilateral mediation group involving the EU, Turkey, and even China.

Step 2: Normalizing Russia-Ukraine Relations

At the heart of European peace is the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. A new foundation of bilateral trade, joint infrastructure projects, and cultural exchange programs could help build trust. A Russo-Ukrainian reconciliation commission—similar to South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission—could provide a platform for healing, acknowledging atrocities, and rebuilding narratives of coexistence.

A transitional phase could include Ukraine agreeing to defer NATO membership until both countries are prepared to join together, ensuring that Ukraine’s security does not come at the expense of Russia’s paranoia. Meanwhile, Ukraine remains firmly embedded in the EU, and Russia must begin to align with European norms if it seeks the same.

Step 3: Domestic Reforms in Russia

This is the hardest and most essential part. For Russia to be considered for NATO or EU membership, it would need to undertake massive political and economic reforms:

  • Democratic revival: Free elections, a free press, independent judiciary, and the release of political prisoners.

  • Rule of law and anti-corruption: A complete overhaul of the legal system to match EU standards.

  • Economic restructuring: Diversification away from oligarchic, resource-dependent capitalism toward innovation-based industry.

  • Human rights: Alignment with the European Convention on Human Rights, with external monitoring.

These are not modest requests. They are foundational and would require a generational change in leadership or a post-Putin political settlement—one born not from collapse, but from strategic evolution.

Step 4: Gradual Integration

Even after reforms, Russia would not simply walk into Brussels or be handed Article 5 protection. Instead, a phased integration could take place:

  • Observer status in NATO forums and EU institutions.

  • Military transparency, joint drills, and de-escalation agreements.

  • Economic treaties with the EU akin to the European Economic Area model.

  • Eventual full accession talks, perhaps in the 2040s.

Step 5: A Pan-European Peace and Security Pact

If successful, the final goal would be a unified Europe—one that includes Russia and Ukraine as peaceful, democratic nations. Such a Europe would be capable of finally turning the page on Cold War-era divisions, and instead focus on collective security, economic cooperation, and addressing shared global challenges like climate change, energy transition, and AI governance.

The Realpolitik Obstacle: Why It Might Be Unrealistic

Now, let’s be clear. This roadmap is radical and, under current circumstances, deeply unrealistic. Russia has entrenched itself in the Chinese-led BRICS+ camp, doubling down on its anti-Western rhetoric and cultivating a multipolar vision that sees NATO as an existential threat, not a potential ally.

The Kremlin’s war narrative is premised on resisting Western “decadence” and “colonialism.” Domestically, dissent is crushed. The political class depends on anti-Westernism for legitimacy. Furthermore, any retreat from its current posture would be seen by Russian elites as surrender—a fatal blow in the zero-sum games they play.

But even this realpolitik obstacle should not discourage long-term vision. In the 1950s, the idea of Germany and France sharing currency and military command would’ve sounded absurd. And yet today they anchor the European Union. What changed? Leadership, time, trauma, and economic interdependence.

Why the Proposal is Still Worth Pursuing

History is shaped not just by what is probable, but by what is possible. As climate catastrophes, digital instability, and military escalation loom, the old playbook of containment and confrontation may no longer suffice. A strong, reformed, democratic Russia embedded in the institutions of Europe is not only good for peace—it’s essential to the long-term stability of Eurasia.

Yes, it would require a post-Putin political revolution, a change in national consciousness, and perhaps a decade of internal transition. But diplomacy is about planting seeds, not just managing the weeds.

Conclusion: Vision is not naivety—it is strategy extended across time.

This roadmap isn’t an endorsement of Putin’s Russia. It is a challenge to Russia to reimagine itself—and a challenge to the West to keep the door open, even if only slightly ajar. Peace in Europe will not be won with tanks or sanctions alone. It will require imagination, realism, and the kind of long-term thinking that transcends electoral cycles.

The road to Moscow may not begin in Brussels, but the road to lasting peace might just end there.

Fixing Education in America: Lessons from the Best School Systems Around the World



Fixing Education in America: Lessons from the Best School Systems Around the World

America is a global leader in innovation, higher education, and creativity—but when it comes to K–12 education, the United States lags behind. Despite spending more per student than most countries, U.S. students rank in the middle of the pack on international assessments like PISA (Program for International Student Assessment). The problems are systemic, but not unsolvable. Across the globe, countries with fewer resources are achieving more by doing things differently—and smarter.

So, how can the U.S. fix its education system? Here are key reforms America needs, inspired by some of the most effective education systems in the world:

1. Elevate the Teaching Profession — Like Finland

In Finland, teaching is as prestigious as medicine or law. All teachers hold a master’s degree, and only the top university graduates are accepted into teacher-training programs. Once in the classroom, they’re given professional autonomy, trust, and high pay.

What America Can Do:

  • Raise salaries to attract top talent.

  • Require more rigorous and consistent teacher training.

  • Treat teachers as nation-builders, not just public employees.

  • Eliminate over-reliance on standardized testing and give educators more autonomy in the classroom.

2. Make Education Equitable — Like Canada

Canada’s decentralized system achieves world-class results without extreme inequality. Public schools in wealthy and poor areas deliver similar outcomes because funding is more equitable, and support for immigrant and indigenous students is prioritized.

What America Can Do:

  • Reform school funding so that it doesn’t depend so heavily on local property taxes.

  • Invest more in underserved schools, not less.

  • Provide holistic support for low-income students—nutrition, counseling, and family outreach.

3. Reduce Testing, Focus on Learning — Like Finland and the Netherlands

Excessive standardized testing in the U.S. often narrows the curriculum and increases student anxiety. Countries like Finland and the Netherlands have shown that you can achieve better outcomes with fewer tests and more project-based, exploratory learning.

What America Can Do:

  • End the over-dependence on standardized tests to measure student and school success.

  • Replace teaching-to-the-test with deeper learning through collaborative projects, problem-solving, and creativity.

  • Encourage student agency and critical thinking, not rote memorization.

4. Invest Early — Like Japan and Singapore

Top-performing countries don’t wait until middle or high school to start academic rigor. They invest heavily in early childhood education, laying a strong foundation for later success. In Singapore, for instance, early years are seen as critical for building character, curiosity, and core skills.

What America Can Do:

  • Expand access to high-quality preschool for all children, regardless of income.

  • Prioritize social-emotional learning alongside early literacy and numeracy.

  • Support parents with education and child development resources starting at birth.

5. Modernize Curriculum for the 21st Century — Like Estonia

Estonia, a small Baltic country, has made major strides by embracing digital learning, coding, and entrepreneurship from a young age. Their curriculum prepares students for a changing world, not one that existed decades ago.

What America Can Do:

  • Introduce digital skills, financial literacy, climate science, and ethics into the curriculum.

  • Partner with the private sector to bring modern tools and mentorship into classrooms.

  • Emphasize adaptability, not just academic content—students need to learn how to learn.

6. Rethink College-Readiness and Vocational Tracks — Like Germany

In Germany, students can choose from multiple respected paths—academic or vocational—based on their interests and strengths. There’s no stigma around apprenticeships or technical education.

What America Can Do:

  • Expand vocational and career-technical education (CTE) options in high schools.

  • Partner with businesses and unions to provide apprenticeships and on-the-job training.

  • Value diverse post-secondary outcomes—college, trade schools, the arts, and entrepreneurship.

7. Cultivate Whole-Child Education — Like South Korea (But Less Stressful)

While South Korea is often known for academic rigor, it’s beginning to shift toward less pressure and more creativity, acknowledging the toll that extreme testing takes on mental health. Holistic development—emotional, physical, ethical—is becoming more central in top systems.

What America Can Do:

  • Incorporate mental health education, physical wellness, and character building into every school.

  • Reduce homework and start school later to match adolescent sleep patterns.

  • Focus on engagement and joy in learning, not just academic achievement.

Conclusion: America Needs Bold, Not Cosmetic, Reforms

The American education system doesn’t need minor tweaks—it needs a deep structural rethinking. The U.S. must stop chasing short-term metrics and start investing in long-term human development. The solutions are already out there—proven by countries that spend less but achieve more. What’s missing is the political will, public consensus, and cultural shift toward treating education as a national priority on par with defense or the economy.

Education should be the ladder of opportunity. But in its current form, American public education too often reinforces inequality rather than reversing it.

The good news? With vision and courage, it can be fixed. And the world has already written the playbook.

I Am No American Mouthpiece On Ukraine

I am no American stooge. I am not in contact with anybody officially in power in the US. I am on US soil, but that only gives me perspectives that make me no fan of the American political system as it stands today. I think America teeters on the brink of both fascism and apartheid if that is possible, but one misguided hateful fool can turn an applecart upside down, and I will let Robert DeNiro take it from here.



Liberty asks for eternal vigilance. As in, you don't get it in inheritance. You could easily lose it from one generation to the next. And right now, America is busy losing it.

I don't think Ukraine or Russia should learn from the United States. I think the United States should see this as an opportunity to rejuvenate democracy inside America. This is your chance. Take it. Seize the moment. Support Ukraine in every way you can. Support the Russians in their streets. 

There is so much the US and the West and the rest of the world could do. Beam unfettered Internet down satellites all across the former Soviet Union. Get the Russian diaspora hyper-organized. Freeze the Kremlin criminal syndicate's assets everywhere. Organize a truckers' strike in Poland if necessary. 

Anything to get the Russians to come out into the streets in the hundreds of thousands. What Russia needs is a color revolution. There is a point at which Putin gives up. I think that is 500,000 people out in the streets of Moscow refusing to vacate. 

Find him a safe way to get to Belarus. 

America got rid of Trump. Russia's turn to get rid of Putin. 

Russia deserves to become a $5 trillion economy. I think a free trade area encompassing the former Soviet Union would be a great idea. A democratic Russia robustly trading with all its neighbors would make NATO irrelevant. I think Germany will enjoy spending less on defense. 

Russia will continue to be a global power.

The Most Responsible Head Of State On The Planet

Merkel Expects 60-70 Per Cent of Germans to be Infected With Coronavirus Parliament falls silent as German Chancellor drops shocking number. Angela Merkel says she expects around 60-70 per cent of Germans will be infected with the coronavirus, which equates to about 53 million people. Reportedly, the German Parliament fell completely silent when Merkel stated the number. News outlet Bild reported the German Chancellor’s comments, which echoed numbers forecast by Berlin virologist Christian Drosten, who added that such a total could take 2 years or longer to reach. Given the fact that coronavirus has a mortality rate of around 1 per cent, this could equate to over half a million deaths Germany, which has recorded 1,565 coronavirus cases and two deaths so far
Coronavirus: Up to 70% of Germany could become infected - Merkel
60% to 70% of the German population will be infected by the coronavirus, Merkel says






Now, months after reports of an outbreak began, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has infected nearly 100,000 and killed just over 3,300 people around the world — a rapid spread in which some historians see parallels to deadly historical diseases.............. the Spanish flu pandemic that killed tens of millions around the world during the years between 1918 and 1922. ............ We’re about three months into the coronavirus outbreak, whereas the real devastation of the 1918 flu began about six to seven months in, after the virus started to cause deadly, rapidly-developing bacterial infections and pneumonia deep in patients’ lungs................ political leaders — and to a lesser extent the communities they govern — are making the same mistakes they did in the past................ On March 11, 1918, an Army private in Kansas complained about flu-like symptoms. By that afternoon, there were over 100 other sick soldiers. Within five weeks, that number increased ten-fold and 47 soldiers had died................ COVID-19 is following a very different trajectory than the Spanish flu; there’s no global war raging, but there are fast and easier ways for a higher volume of people to travel quickly across the globe, spreading the virus far from where it began.................. isolation and quarantine have worked best if enacted early enough. Limiting exposure to disease is still among the best ways to limit its spread. The challenge was — and remains — the ability to pinpoint infection quickly, and isolate the patient before they spread it to others............. legislation that, in the face of the Spanish flu, let authorities show up and cart people off to isolation hospitals — a policy that he said hit racial minorities, the poor, and anyone else living in overcrowded areas the hardest................... the only reason the pandemic is called the Spanish flu is because Spain, a neutral country, allowed its newspapers to report about the disease.............. The government relied heavily on the Sedition Act to stamp out news about the pandemic lest it embarrass the state or detract from the war effort, according to Smithsonian Magazine. The result was a media ecosystem full of inaccurate information and propaganda telling the public not to worry, all while cities like Philadelphia turned into ghost towns and entire communities were wiped out.................. Now, having learned seemingly nothing from China’s errors, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly downplayed, and spread false information about, the outbreak.............. the way authorities have controlled the narrative around the outbreak reveals that their priorities are backwards. Instead of putting the concern for human life and citizens’ welfare first, leaders like Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have focused more on national pride.......... A vaccine won’t be ready for at least a year............... healthcare remains prohibitively expensive to many in the U.S.............. those historical laws that let officials show up and take people into quarantine? Mooney says that by and large, the rich went unaffected.
travel only permitted for work or family emergencies ............ the best thing was for citizens to stay at home, in large part to protect the most fragile members of society. .............. Outside of China, Italy now has the highest number of deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak with 463 — a rise of 97 in just the last 24 hours. There are now over 9,000 confirmed cases, surpassing South Korea ............... a total ban of public gatherings, including all football matches, across the entire country. ............ inmates at 22 Italian prisons rioted on Monday, escaping facilities and kidnapping officers ........... The riots also occurred after Italy’s interior ministry announced severe penalties, three months in prison, for anybody who attempts to flee the lockdown in northern Italy.
A number of airlines are being forced to operate near-empty “ghost flights” after the coronavirus outbreak caused sweeping cancellations and demand for airfare to plummet across the globe. ................ “Passenger demand for air travel has dramatically fallen due to COVID-19 and in some instances we are being forced to fly almost empty planes or lose our valuable slots,” CEO of Virgin Atlantic Shai Weiss told CNBC via email on Tuesday............. major European airports including London Heathrow and Munich are turning into ghost towns with empty check-in counters. ............. the flights are literally just burning jet fuel. ............. the industry could lose more than $113 billion revenue this year alone .

What would happen if the world reacted to climate change like it’s reacting to the coronavirus? What would a fast, coordinated, collective response to climate change look like?
The Extraordinary Decisions Facing Italian Doctors There are now simply too many patients for each one of them to receive adequate care.
Jersey City school district is preparing for potential 3 weeks of closures in wake of coronavirus
Coronavirus Snarls Trans-Pacific Shipping and Ripples Through U.S. Business There are few China-bound vessels and an imbalance in shipping containers, especially the refrigerated ones used for farm products; ‘It’s cutthroat’ ...... The coronavirus epidemic is upending the carefully calibrated logistics of global shipping, as plunging exports from China disrupt the trade of American goods, especially farm products such as fruit and meat destined for Asia.
‘Wildly unprepared’: survey of US nurses highlights coronavirus concerns A northern California nurse criticizes the CDC for delays in testing after she fell ill while caring for a patient with coronavirus
The Worst Outcome If somebody other than Donald Trump were in the White House, the coronavirus crisis would not be unfolding this way...... At every turn, President Trump’s policy regarding coronavirus has unfolded as if guided by one rule: How can I make this crisis worse? ...... The financial markets have plunged into a 2008-style crash, auguring a recession, perhaps a severe one. The Trump administration has had almost two months to think about this crisis. ...... a classic Trump formulation. It seeks to protect America by erecting a wall against the world, without thinking very hard how or whether the wall can work. The disease is already here. The numbers only look low because of our prior failure to provide adequate testing. They will not look low even four days from now. And those infected with the virus can travel from other countries and on other routes.......... There is always something malign in Trump’s incompetence. He has no care or concern for others; he cannot absorb the trouble and suffering of others as real. He monotones his way through words of love and compassion, but those words plainly have no content or meaning for him. The only thing that is real is his squalid vanity. This virus threatens to pierce that vanity, so he denied it as long as he could. What he refuses to acknowledge cannot be real, can it? ....... And even now that he has acknowledged the crisis, he still cannot act, because he does not know what to do. His only goal now is to shove blame onto others. Americans have to face the fact that in the grip of this pandemic, the Oval Office is for all practical purposes as empty as the glazed eyes of the man who spoke from that office tonight.
India suspends most visas to halt coronavirus spread India has 73 confirmed cases of the virus, the health ministry says. This number is expected to grow in coming days, as the results for tests conducted earlier become available........ "It would be near impossible for India to force its citizens into mass quarantine and hospitalise people in numbers like China"..... All schools, colleges and movie theatres in the capital, Delhi, will be shut until 31 March in a bid to help control the spread of the virus ......

"We don't have data to support the theory that the coronavirus won't be as effective in summers"

...... a passenger from Dubai, who was tested at the Mangalore airport and was found to have mild fever, ran away from a government hospital where he was taken for observation.
St. Patrick's Day parades canceled nationally amid coronavirus outbreaks
California governor calls for all public gatherings to be canceled due to coronavirus

‘He’s gonna get us all killed’: sense of unease after Trump coronavirus speech The president began his speech as many leaders do, then reverted to his familiar nationalism and threw in a bit of campaigning ...... He went on to talk of the pathogen as if it was a foreign army or terrorist network. “The virus will not have a chance against us,” he said. “No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States.” ...... “The militaristic, nationalistic language of Trump’s speech tonight is striking: a ‘foreign virus,’ keeping out China and Europe.” ..... David Litt, who wrote speeches for Obama, posted: “As a former presidential speechwriter, my careful rhetorical analysis is that he’s gonna get us all killed.”
