    Maybe so… but I feel like this is one of the biggest mistakes in the post WWII order. Imagine what things would be like if the UN had more teeth (and no security council)

          If the UN had those powers, it would essentially be what russia accuses NATO of being. A body with the ability to regulate bodies outside of it’s own jurisdiction.

          Russia likes to shitpost about NATO being an existential threat to russia/china whatever, even though that’s not true. The UN would essentially become this version of NATO. Just not militarily, which is good enough for russia lol.

      I have a hard time imagining how that would work. Because teeth would mean there is a mechanism that could ultimately force countries to supply warm bodies to do enforcement.
