I guess he picked a side.

When is his term as secretary general up?

Strictly speaking there aren't term limits for the UN Secretary General. By convention it's five years per term, two terms max. Guterres is currently three years into his second term.

Honestly though I'm not sure that him attending the BRICS thing is a bad move. Surely his job is to try to foster discussion across hostile lines? I don't know what his actual conduct at the conference was, but I can definitely imagine that an attempt to push for peace is within plausibility

Admit you have no idea what you're talking about earlier next time

Why don't you correct someone with fact instead of nothing?

The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
