[QUOTE=TestECull;44540673]Better half the world leave due to uselessness than the entire organization being rendered useless. We'd end up with....oh, wait! We already have it. It's called NATO.
Fuck the UN. Waste of taxpayer money.[/QUOTE]
With all due disrespect to the UN, letting fucking NATO handle stuff like this is even worse.
The UN is useless but NATO is literally evil and is an American puppet organization
[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];44540583']Because at the end of WWII, the UN was formed out of the victor powers, excluding the USSR all being kinda-democracies or democracies with Western interests. The first flag of the pre-UN was a red and white striped flag reminiscent of America. The UN granted these powers exclusive military rights, under the expectation that they would reasonably enact a similar program and not veto each other- if one had to use a veto, it would be out of the common good.
Instead, it quickly became communists vs non-communists. To remove the veto power would risk granting either side (read: always the west) supreme power in all votes. Korea? UN sends troops to support the Southern murderous dictatorship (as actually happened in absence of China and Russia) instead of the Northern. Same with Vietnam, Nicaragua, Cuba, Greece, Italy....
Because the majority of the members of the UNSC at any time are western-oriented, almost always every vote for military use would be granted in the favor of the west. Which makes sense to most of us, but we all live in the west mostly.[/QUOTE]
The UN is very big right now. If we were to remove the permanent members crap from the Security Council, the former permanent members wouldn't leave.
What about all the UN agencies (like WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, WFP, etc), they might be largely money-stricken but god, they are often the only ones actually attempting to seriously address some issues and do do a great deal of coordination.
Sure the GA, UNSC, Peacekeepers, etc might be largely inneffective but the UN does a great deal of work that for the most part flys under the radar.
