I am not a fan of the UN and in many cases I think they have become what they were created to prevent.

Having said that the Peacekeepers are in a no win situation. Even with the best intentions (which is a big assumption) they are like the school marm trying to hold two fighting students apart. The kid who doesn’t care about the rules will continue taking pot shots at the one who is willing to back down. In the process the best case is a temporary cease fire while the school marm holds the two parties apart. The worst case invovles the “good kid” being restrained while the “bad kid” keeps punching away at everyone including the school marm.
