Last year almost to the day, I argued in this paper that António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, should resign, as in my view he is manifestly unfit to lead an organisation meant to foster global peace and harmony.
At the time, many commentators dismissed my view as extreme. Others may now agree, however, as we witness Guterres attend the BRICS Summit in Russia, mingling with the likes of the Russian President – it appears as if he were Putin’s lapdog – while cosying up to what some have called an “axis of evil” and economically motivated actors in the East.
It is with a sense of cold dismay that I observe the UNH, seemingly at the beck and call of a man who is hell-bent on subjugating a sovereign, democratic nation: Ukraine. The Secretary-General breaks bread with a leader who, according to the free world, is waging an illegal and immoral war.
The gathering in Kazan, near Moscow, brings together Putin’s inner circle, Iran, the Taliban, and those overly fond of cheap Russian hydrocarbons, such as China and India. They convene, no doubt, to hear Putin’s grandiose rhetoric about purging the planet of democracy and its supposed liberal evils.
