You started out strong on your first half. But we don’t need war, we need wise leadership. The power really is in the voters here. But decades of infighting (in each nation) over political stances have allowed scumbags to control all our nations’ UN interactions. We need to eliminate veto, or extend it to a three or four nation minimum (you need three nations voting to veto to block something) that is available to all nations.
Down voting because war is always stupid and no one should ever sell the lie that innocent people need to suffer.
I think we only differ in optimism here. You think good leaders can still turn it around. And I doubt it. Either way, I wasn’t foretelling the UN’s demise.
I appreciate your sentiments in italics and bold text concerning war. I understand that tone is hard to decipher here. If you have taken from my text that I’m pro-war then allow me point out that I am not. I’ve merely pointed out historical precedence and extrapolated from there. I thought it obvious that the scenario I drew is undesirable. I guess I was wrong, wasn’t I.

Not sure how to convince a sovereign power to give up its power over others without war, any suggestions?
