Trudeau has strange priorities

and 0% Mechs.

I'm confused. Was the mission about peacekeeping or virtue signaling?

Yes.

UN goal.

So quick to find anything, absolutely anything, no matter how petty or insignificant to trash Trudeau that even a headline is too confusing, eh?

That shit works both ways.

Team Trump is already kicking butt at the United Nations

Trump's not falling over himself to appease the UN so if Trudeau is and what he's doing to make the UN happy sounds dumb, then yeah, I blame Trudeau.

Why does Trudeau need to be pussy-whipped so bad by the UN anyway? Doesn't he get enough of that at home?

[Strutz]

I don't understand why the UN has even set a target for participation of women in the military. Why 15%? What is so special about this %?

$1:

The UN, by its own admission, has failed miserably for a decade or more to boost the participation of women in peacekeeping operations, both at the military and the civilian police peacekeeping levels.

Why look at it as failure? Perhaps the numbers are low because so few women even pursue a military career and of those who do perhaps many do not meet the qualifications required to serve.

[Jabberwalker]

What a pointless measure of anything.
