UN posting Disarmerment, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) job ops in NY

[mws314]

Hmmm. From the wikipedia page on DDR:
Disarmament entails the physical removal of the means of combat from ex-belligerents (weapons, ammunition, etc.); demobilization entails the disbanding of armed groups; while reintegration describes the process of reintegrating former combatants into civilian society, ensuring against the possibility of a resurgence of armed conflict.

There are 6 aspects to a successful DDR conversion:

Reduction of military expenditure
Reorientation of military research and development
Conversion of the arms industry
Demobilization and reintegration
Redevelopment of troops
Safe disposal and management of "surplus weapons"

Well that explains Goblers thread "UN trucks are here"

Disarming worked great for Ukraine.... oh yeah...

Going to be honest, this looks like it's for international (Africa/Middle East) stuff.

A few hundred Nigerian school girls might have an answer for you.

One will notice there are no peacekeeping operations in Nigeria.

Let's at least be fair here and criticize them for what they actually do, not for things that take place hundreds of miles away from the nearest UN peacekeeping operation.

Most of the actual "peacekeeping" jobs are doing a pretty good job of keeping lids on things. That said, they're not empowered or equipped to prevent everything, and often that's by design. People ridicule the UN for being ineffective...when they keep it intentionally ineffective.

In every instance, the UN has sided with dictators and thugs. For an example check out their work in Katanga !

The UN has no place in America or on American soil ! They should be disbanded and the dictators left to fend for themselves !
Not sure where your info comes from ? But it is a 100 % certainty someone has lied to you about the UN and their agenda .

I humbly suggest you do research on this pack of international tyrants !

I humbly suggest you use less exclamation points.


The UN is based out of NY that is probably why they are posting job there. They will then send whomever gets the job to random countries.

The US military and other groups disposes, destroys, disarms plenty of weapons and ammo every year from their own stockpiles and other countries this isn't a big deal at all. If they were going through america it would be a big deal.

[Victor Cachat]

I think of UN soldiers as a great source for vehicles; weapons; and ammunition.
(And recently soiled uniforms.)

[Vaktathi]

In every instance, the UN has sided with dictators and thugs.

So has the US innumerable times over the years. Pinochet, Saddam, Stroessner, Mubarak, numerous South Korean military coup leaders, Ferdinand Marcos, Batista, the Somoza dynasty, Karimov, Noriega, Sha Pahlavi, etc.

For an example check out their work in Katanga !

You mean the operation carried out over 50 years ago and which the UN itself openly admits it failed at? Sure yeah, that sucked. So did the Bay of Pigs operation...

The UN has no place in America or on American soil !

You mean aside from the fact that the US led its creation and established its headquarters in New York and actively directs many of its operations?

Besides...what exactly does the UN carry out in the US? It's administratively based here, that's all.

They should be disbanded and the dictators left to fend for themselves !

What info, the location of current ongoing peacekeeping operations? I gave that source. Or that fact that most of those places (barring a couple places in the middle east and some flareups along the South Sudan border) these places are relatively peaceful?

I humbly suggest you do research on this pack of international tyrants !

Your statement about the UN doing " a pretty fair job.." Leads me to conclude your reading or listening to source' s that cannot be trusted . Ie media outlets that are "antigun" !
The NRA and other progun groups abhor the idea of this international cabel of megalomaniacs gaining credibility .

Regarding General Pinochet, everyone I know considers him the savior of Chile .

"Chileans observe their own anniversary on September 11, as today marks the 40th anniversary of the military coup that removed the revolutionary Marxist President Salvador Allende from office and replaced him with General Augusto Pinochet."

At the time of the coup, the Allende government had completely nationalized the Chilean economy and was in the process of consolidating power to form a Cuban-style communist regime.

Now you may identify with Marxist principles and the entire pack of state controlled media. After all you are a Californian and ideas such as yours have given us the state of non gun rights we have !

Hooray strawman arguments!

Would you care to provide a source that isn't a 50 year old boondoggle? I gave a direct link to current ongoing UN peacekeeping operations, one can take one look at the map and see that, aside from obvious ****holes that nobody is doing a good job in (i.e Syria), these places are relatively peaceful relative to their unfortunate pasts. I'm not saying the UN is perfect, far from it, only that people unfairly criticise it for things that occur where they aren't even operating or where they intentionally have been given RoE's that prevent them from doing most things.

The NRA and other progun groups abhor the idea of this international cabel of megalomaniacs gaining credibility .

The one that the US controls, funds, administrates, and has a permanent and non-overridable Veto over? That "International Cabal"?

Regarding General Pinochet, everyone I know considers him the savior of Chile .

This is amusing considering there are tens of thousands in the US and Canada that fled his regime, and that he was later arrested and charged with human rights violations, along with obscene amounts of money laundering discovered by a bipartisan US senate investigation.

"Chileans observe their own anniversary on September 11, as today marks the 40th anniversary of the military coup that removed the revolutionary Marxist President Salvador Allende from office and replaced him with General Augusto Pinochet."

Note they don't say "celebrate".

At the time of the coup, the Allende government had completely nationalized the Chilean economy and was in the process of consolidating power to form a Cuban-style communist regime.

Regardless of what you think of the Allende government (and it has its fair share of criticisms, I'm not denying that) it was the legally and popularly elected government of Chile, and the Allende government has no such record of "disappearing" people (or throwing them from planes) the way Pinochet does.

Now you may identify with Marxist principles and the entire pack of state controlled media. After all you are a Californian and ideas such as yours have given us the state of non gun rights we have !

Yes, I'm a Californian. I'm on a forum called "Calguns", which advertises itself as "The California Firearms Owner's Home On The Internet". One would assume most people where would be from California.

If your only point is to insult people from CA by painting them all with them with a "zomg ur all marxists!" brush, well, I'm not sure what you're doing here...
