THE U.N. and NATO were born out of the chaos and destruction of World War II, both very much the product of American diplomacy. They were intended, for the most part, to address the cardinal failure of the security environment between the world wars, a situation which left like-minded, democratic nations unable to come together and oppose aggression early, before the aggressor could act to destroy those nations one by one.
Neither the U.N. nor NATO ever intended to supersede the sovereign rights of member states to defend themselves against aggression. Even NATO, intended for the sole purpose of providing collective defense for its members, does not mandate that they go to war in the defense of one another. Rather, it requires consultations if another member is threatened. Member states retain both their freedom to act and their right to refrain from entering into conflicts — as dramatized during the alliance’s recent debacle over coming to Turkey’s aid.

 

Great post. The UN has certainly been sticking its nose where it doesnt belong, especially in American affairs. Gotta watch out for any group that condones complete gun control/confiscation.

 

they were also created to keep the U.S. from looking like a agressive super power as the Soviets were portrayed at that time...if we had to do something we could do it as a coalition...this time it failed and we've had to do it without the sanction of NATO or the UN and now we look like an agressive super power..when in acuallity we have been made the policeman of the world and we know how everyone feels about police...don't want them around till you need them,and even then what happens is'nt right

 

both the un and nato should not be welcome in the U.S., and see if any other country will have its citizens pay taxes to keep these jagoves in business!
