The ONLY thing that gives the UN any authority in its' resolutions now is US military might. Without us, they have no teeth. And for any other military to step into that vacuum would place them in opposition to us should we get out of the UN.

Do you see any takers for that position on this planet right now? I didn't think so.

Russia, China, the EU, none of them have the ability to project power on any scale outside of their borders. The US is the ONLY nation on Earth who has military transport of any scale whatsoever. We're in the driver's seat - let's go somewhere. Without the UN parasites.

Well one would think that if the U.N. had any interest in being a world-representative body with any form of meaning and relavancy, it would respect, AT LEAST, THE ONE MEMBER THAT IS THE FORCE THAT GETS IT DONE!!!!

But they don't. Being logical, one must think that their purpose is now something very different. Who is kidding who -- anyone who bites the hand that feeds it, should suffer. There are no free lunches.

Don't believe in the disinformation about Russian & Chinese armed forces. Both countries have modern, well equipped military and could move large armies into the Middle East, Asia & Europe. The US population, fueled by the MSM, also has an adverse reaction to war casualties. To the Russians or Chinese a loss of 50,000, 100,000, 250,000 soldiers is a drop in the bucket.
