Lets be honest, the UN is a debating club, its inefficient by design, cannot really project power. Its literally the 21st century version of the vatican. "How many tanks does the Pope have?".


For the most part when the UN takes the field, its there to flash the blue beret and be really inefficient, badly lead and woefully inadequte.



Peace keeping is dead, if the UN calls for a peacekeeping force, they'll die enmasse while learning that when decisive orders are needed or life saving decisions that the UN closes at 5 and you're just going to need to leave a voice mail.


So I don't see why people are calling on the UN to do something. In a situation like this, and lets be honest most situations, there's nothing that they can do.


sanctions, yup, absolutely, write nastily worded letters . . . . for sure. Throw a permanent member nation off of the security council? Nope, Russia's seat and the veto are written into the UN charter, good luck opening that one up because Russia would literally have to approve a change to the Charter.


Is NATO going to do anything. I mean they have all the gunz and soldiers in the world? Nope, because Ukraine is not one of theirs, and as bad as the russian's have looked militarily, nobody wants to get into a land battle in Europe with the Russians, and nobody wants to push Putin into a nuclear corner, cause he'll do it man, now put down the gun . . . oh wait.


Shipping in weapons is helpful, shipping in heavy weapons is helpful. But at some point, the Ukranian Military is simply going to need casualty replacements that they don't have.
