Um, isn’t it the US who decides what wars to prosecute as a primary component of the Security Council? The UN doesn’t force the US to do anything, the US has veto power.

What I think FC is referring to is how the USA always has to bear a disproportionate share of the burden of actually fighting. Some of the carping about the UN would be reduced if nations like France and Germany contributed more real force to multi-national forces, if they took one of the violent sectors of a country and let some Anglosphere troops have one of the medium difficulty regions.
