The UN works the same way, only between nations. It is designed specifically to thwart large countries from bullying smaller countries, just as a town's laws prevents town bullies from picking on smaller citizens.
Yah sure, like when Stalin's Socialist Soviet Union and other like minded people were busy bloody bullies gobbling up little nations and slaughtering scores of millions of their own citizens who resisted tyranny, all with the UN as their ally and the adversarial critic of the free West. Without the US, the planet would've been theirs, as well as Hitler's Nazis previously.
Now, it is the UN body which favors Islamic tyranny in roughly 30 nations and continues to be adversarial critics of the liberators.
Fundamentalist Islam has been the first foreign invading power to physically bring the war to our own soil in our national history, beginning with our two largest buildings and our Pentagon with our very Capitol in their sites. The free world either engages offensively and pre-emptively from here on in this war or the free world is history in spite of freedom's adversary and fundamentalist Islam's ally, the UN.
As I understand Biblical prophecy, the free world will eventually capitulate to tyranny, thanks to sooooo many of our own citizen apologists of Islam who are either oblivious, or in denial to the fact that the prophet Muhammed both practiced and taught tyrannical religious theocratic rule worldwide by the bloody
sword with no less fervor than Hitler or Stalin.
