Historians traditionally blame the failure of the League of Nations--the post-World War I, Versailles-era dream of President Woodrow Wilson--on many things.
Its membership was small (58 nations). The League's utopian rhetoric lacked commensurate force.
The postwar ascendant United States refused to join.
The winners of World War I, like France and Britain, were terrified of rearming, while the losers, such as Germany and Austria, were eager to.
Consequently, the League in the mid-1930s allowed fascist powers to make a mockery of the Versailles Treaty. It could never even enforce its own embargoes and sanctions.
Without big power backup, the League soon watched the Axis powers prey on weak nations and start another world war.
In response, the post-World War II United Nations was said to have corrected the impotence of the old League.
The U.S. was now in. Indeed, the UN headquarters were to be in New York.
Almost all the nations of the world--currently 193--eventually joined.
A "Security Council" of the great powers (and former great powers) would "police" the consensus of the General Assembly of all members.
The UN would spin off a host of subordinate globalist projects, such as the World Health Organization, International Criminal Court, and World Bank, to promote peace, law, health, and profit.
Yet the UN's 80-year record has proved as dismal as the League's 26 years.
Only half the UN members are free societies and true democracies.
The two greatest threats to world peace--dictatorial Russia and communist China--exercise veto power in the Security Council.
Antisemitism is now a UN brand. So are rank corruption and profiteering.
No one expects the UN either to prevent or stop a war.
Aside from serving as a platform for national propaganda, it is increasingly both impotent and toxically anti-Western.
So who or what on the global stage...

I missed it. I will have mine pulled.
Of course, we were guilt-tripped into supporting the United Nations, during WWII, because they convinced people that WWII never would have happened had only the US joined The League of Nations.
Guess who's suddenly willing to talk?
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, we salute you sir.
You were not right on everything but on this one you hit it out of the park.
I see skies of blue, and states of red,
Lots of drug lords suddenly dead,
and I say to myself,
what a Trumpian world.

I’ll say it again:
The Godless United Nations
awaits Satan’s Antichrist
They will all war against
the Jews and the reborn
state of Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
They will lose at Armageddon
to the Lord Jesus Christ
His Second Coming as prophesied
Deuteronomy 32:41-43
New King James Version
41 If I whet My glittering sword,
And My hand takes hold on Judgment,
I will render Vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me.
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword shall devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the heads of the leaders of the enemy.” ’
43 “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people;
For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
And render Vengeance to His adversaries;
He will provide Atonement for His land and His people.”
