re: #73 Gus 802

Well, many of the wingnuts want to get rid of the UN. They’re basically the world policeman. Yet at the same time they want to maintain our role as the world’s policeman. This also extends into the anti-NATO stance and anti-European stance. Effectively then they’re not really supporting being the world’s policeman but using that as ploy to support militarism not for the sake of other nations interests but the traditional American interests. ere’s nothing altruistic about it. And it comes with a hefty price tag. Seems like a case of wanting to have ones cake and eat it too.

Basically, yeah. I have a lot of issues with the UN. Anyone who watched Rwanda would. And the ‘peacekeeping’ forces in Africa have been mixed up with some really vicious crimes— rape, primarily.

But the idea that the US has surrendered sovereignty to the UN (or would) is laughable. We do what we want! (cue Cartman on Jerry Springer).
