Nicolay Mladenov with the Butcher of Gaza

It is rumored that Nicolay Mladenov might be the next UN Secretary-General. It seems that the UN is hell-bent on making a mockery of itself. Mladenov gives vomit a bad name. He ascends the ladder of opportunism by drenching the nearest pair of shoes in spittle and then giddily licking it off. Mladenov has most recently reinvented himself as the High Representative of Gaza. In point of fact, he is the Low Scrotum of Gaza. He faithfully does the bidding of two Israeli agents, Aryeh Lightstone and Josh Gruenbaum, who are the real power behind the fig leaf Gaza Board of Peace. A recent report by the Crisis Group, “ Hollow Promises: Resetting Gaza’s Ceasefire, ” gives the measure of the homunculus. Herewith some excerpts:

“In a letter sent . . . in April [2026], Mladenov and Lightstone warned that Hamas’s refusal to accept a decommissioning [i.e., disarming] framework would ‘render [Israeli] commitments null and void,’ suggesting that Israel would then have a green light to tighten its siege or relaunch its assaults.”

“In March [2026], Mladenov presented Hamas and other factions with a proposal to surrender all weapons and dismantle all military infrastructure over a period of 250 days, ‘with no exceptions and no carveouts,’ with no explicit linkage made to Israeli troop withdrawals. . . . Mladenov’s initial March decommissioning plan reflected Israel’s view, classifying AK-47s as heavy weapons and ordering their surrender within the first 90 days of the program.”

“On 30 July [2026], the Board [of Peace] announced that all Gaza’s armed factions had agreed to give up weapons. . . . Th[is] roadmap explicitly stated that decommissioning would begin after previous ceasefire commitments were completed; carried out in a ‘gradual, sequential and time-bound manner’ based on an agreed timetable; and ‘linked to an Israeli withdrawal, in phases’. . . . Mladenov confirmed on 31 July that the two processes ‘must move in lockstep.’ Yet all that changed in quick order. In a meeting with Mladenov and Lightstone on 3 August [2026], Netanyahu stressed that Israel would not proceed with withdrawal or halt its military operations until Hamas was fully disarmed and all its tunnels destroyed. It did not take long for the Board to recant. Immediately after the meeting, it parroted the Israeli premier’s message. . . . Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12, Mladenov said: ‘Nobody is required to do anything—least of all Israel—before we actually have verified steps on the ground,’ adding that once weapons are ‘taken away from the factions, and stored, and ultimately rendered unusable, Israel then withdraws from Gaza.’”

“The chaos that now defines Gaza’s aid distribution is untenable. . . . In his six-month report to the UN Security Council, Mladenov recognized the aid shortfall [in Gaza] yet appeared reluctant to acknowledge that Israel is primarily responsible. Rather, his report and his public remarks . . . tended to assign responsibility to Hamas.”

On 17 November 2025, the UN Security Council bestowed the deed for Gaza on the retarded ape currently occupying the White House.* Now the Security Council stands poised to recommend the vomitrocious Nicolay Mladenov as the new UN Secretary-General. Wouldn’t it make more sense at this point if the UN just filed for bankruptcy?
