The UN is a waste of time and money.
Nobody pays attention to any sanctions that they might impose on another
Nation. Now if Peru reneged on some pledge, they'd be all over them, but
if Russia, China or even the US did something they didn't like, they're powerless
to do anything about it.
Just get them out of the country and be done with it.
If it hadn't been for those UN sanctions, North Korea would never have come to the negotiation table. They also sanctioned Iran for refusing to give up its enriched uranium program. Pressure on a bad actor works best when the world is behind that pressure. The UN does that better than a couple of countries alone.
Sorry Mama...But those sanctions got enforced when we strong armed our
allies., Just like we're doing now with Iran.
Russia and China can veto anything they wish in the Security Council.
The EU is gonna do what we tell them to do or they can fund NATO
themselves.
The Big Dogs run the show at the UN.
The UN requested that America relax its blockade on Cuba for a two week
cooling off period during the Cuban Missile Crisis. We just laughed at them.
In Grenada the UN condemned our invasion saying that Grenada was a soverign country, even though Rebels had captured the Governor of the
Island and then executed him. We laughed at them again and when we
were finished we had thrown out Soldiers from East Germany, Russia,
Bulgaria, Cuba, North Korea and 4 from Libya.
That was an American coalition that kicked Iraq out of Kuwait, not UN.
We could just rent a Hall somewhere in Washington and summon all the
Ambassadors of other countries to a meeting to tell them what we want
rather than fund the UN. It would be quicker and cheaper.
I appreciate your information; I realize that the UN is not a force in itself. The ability to be heard is important, though. And btw, the UN is not in existence to "tell them what we want."
The US needs to shrink its hat size a bit.

Our hat size is what it is. It is meant to fit the size of our head.
The UN, like the League of Nations before it, was meant to prevent
Global War. The League of Nations failed. The UN has now drifted
from the original intention, and cannot prevent anything. They can't even
help starving countries because Despots or War Lords or whatever
steal the food for themselves.
You are correct when you imply that the UN is not in existence to promote
America's agenda. Well, if it is of no use to us, why do we fund it?
If we pulled out tomorrow and forced the entire UN to move to Geneva,
it would have no bearing on America. For economic purposes the rest
of the world is still going to do business with the US. For protection, the
majority of the world is going to look to the US.
If the United States and even the USSR taught the world anything over the
last 70+ years...it is how to count Megatons.
We hold the trump cards. Nobody else can defeat us, because we can
destroy the world in a couple of hours. That's a pretty big sized head,
and it is the text book definition of "clout."
Now...IMO, there is no moral reason why Nukes haven't been used since
WWII. The purpose of War is to destroy your enemy. (There is nothing moral about that) The powers have
never used Nukes, not because they're afraid of what Peru might think of
us, but the belief that once those missiles start flying there will be no stopping
them.
If we take out Iran...that gives an open invitation for China to Nuke Taiwan
or Russia to Nuke the Ukraine. The UN or any other place for talk can't
prevent that. No Power needs to fear World opinion because there will be
no world left after WWIII is completed.
The UN is outdated and a waste of time and money. It cannot fulfill its
original purpose.
