"Superbowl of deplomacy" is the most American way of describing the UN I have ever heard.
-
"This is the superbowl of diplomacy" America moment
-
0:27 The interpreter lost consciousness after interpreting for 90 minutes straight. Normally, you switch with a partner after 30 min but because Gaddafi claimed, he wanted to hold the speech in a very specific dialect, they thought one would be enough. In the end, he spoke in standard Arabic.

2009: this man is crazy 2023: he spoke truth
-
The high school mentality never goes away, not even in a UN assembly
-
I think the craziest UN bruh moment was when they refused all help during the genocide in Rwanda
-
i like how as a kid i always thought that world leaders are grown ups and all their decisions are made thoughtful and methodically and everything is right.. and now as young adult im like: yeah i could also rule a country.. doesnt seem that hard
-
It's the "I can still smell sulfur in here." 🤣🤣🤣
-
Gaddafi's interpreter actually fainted he was so worn out from translating.
-
How about Admiral General Aladeen?
-
Gadaffi was not actually crazy he made a lot of sense, only now people can see
-
Goes to show you, we are all really just children in big older bodies.
-
"My son, you can't imagine the madness with which the world is ruled"
-
Not sure how George W Bush informing Rice that he has to take a bathroom break counts as a memorable moment
-
Gadafy looks crazy but sometimes when you listen to his speeches it seems to you like he's the only one with a brain..
-
Everyone who isnt American: "Superbowl? What is that, a really big bowl?"
-
Would've been nice to actually see some of these moments instead of just a random guy mentioning them.
-
The U.N is basically a student council looks good on paper but nothing actually gets done
-
The most legit speeches were those of Gadafi, Asad and Chavez.
-
Being at the un assembly must be pretty fun
