2:43Now PlayingSomalia is set to chair the UN Security Council—and that should stop people cold. In this video, I break down why this isn’t just bureaucratic trivia, it’s a credibility problem with real national-security implications. If major portions of a country are influenced or controlled by extremist networks and the central government struggles with corruption and ineptitude, what does it mean for the rest of the world when that same country holds a leadership role inside the world’s premier security body? Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, Chris PIehota, walks through the core argument being raised by a former CIA targeting analyst: the disconnect between on-paper legitimacy and on-the-ground reality. Then we widen the conversation about why outcomes often feel detached from reality, and why U.S. taxpayers should care—especially given America’s outsized financial support for the incompetent institution the UN has become. We have to consider the UN incentives, governance, and systems that too often rewards symbolism over operational truth. Watch, consider the risk, and decide whether the UN is still a viable organization.

Channel Approach: This channel fights social and institutional decay and there are things that ordinary people should talk about without hating each other. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for promoting a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, you will see minor recording mistakes and flubs in this content. Please like, share, and subscribe to keep the conversation moving forward.
