So what did FDR expect the UN to accompolish? If I remember FDR was heavily influenced by Socialism and the proponents of the UN were FDR appointees that turned out to be Soviet moles....the UN is the biggest failure for freedom in the History of mankind and FDR was either complicit or duped. Time is coming to destroy the UN!
The aim of the United Nations was to develop a framework for international peace and security. After the second world war, FDR understood the need for peace and security.
One of the first triumphs of the International System that FDR setup was the decolonization of Africa and Asia in the sixties. The US intervention in Korea was under a United Nations mandate. The UN peacekeeping force ensured stability in Suez after the crisis.
I have never implied that the UN is perfect nor have I implied that it has never derailed from its original purpose. The best way to deal with it is not to leave it, but to fight for reforms.
You think that if we simply leave the UN that our foreign policy would be enhanced, that our clout in the world will increase? No way, sir.
On what basis would we deal with North Korea apart from the UN? You think we can simply drop an atomic bomb there and all will be well? Do you think we can invade North Korea and expect China to sit idly by?
If we are outside the international system, on what basis would we deal with China and Russia?
We can discuss issues like reducing our contribution to the United Nations, these are valid issues. Leaving the UN entirely is not.
