@Sqrl: If that's the way it works, that's pretty stupid. Who needs votes when you can just veto something? Geez, go UN.

 

What you expected the few powerful nations of the world to actually give up the abilities to decide things they do to other weaker nations and their other strong rivals?

 

True, but I'm thinking that if something was serious enough to make countries defy big countries that way, it would probably be serious enough to start a war without regards to UN anyway.

 


You'd be surprised how a bunch of nations could "nick" a less favorable nation to death... pecking away at minor disputed territories, and creating new territory claims to nick away.


Nothing to start a war over... but a few resources here, a territory there.  Favorable deal canceled etc...  That would eventually lead to a "screw it stop it or i'm leaving the UN/going to war."

That's the thing about the UN.  They think it is more important to have a place where every country in the world can come and talk, then it is to fix any of the worlds problems.
