ORIGINAL: vincentML The UN was created in 1945 for one main purpose: to stop a third major power war. So far, it and the potential nuclear Armageddon have been successful. The world has never been more interconnected with such speed of communications. The UN provides a place to pause and air grievances. It is helpful to remember that any UN action can be stopped by the vote of only one of five major contributor nations. However, here is a list of forty-eight UN accomplishments published in 2012.  Please cite credible proof that the UN has prevented a "third major power war." What sort of credible proof would you require to prove a negative? Twenty years elapsed between WW1 and WW2. Seventy-two years have passed since the last major powers war. Pretty good so far, hey? So, can you prove that the forum of the United Nations was not instrumental in maintaining the peace? LMAO! In other words, no, you can't support your assertion with any proof. Thanks, Vincent. FFS, it could almost be said that the increase in global CO2 that started around that time prevented a third world war. The UN intervention in Korea in 1950 stopped a major powers war. How did it not? Did I miss the mission statement of the increase in global CO2 emission? Was that a coordinated activity intent on stopping WW3? Is there even a scintilla of causal relationship between greenhouse gas emission and World War? The proof is in the pudding. There has been no major powers war since the UN was formed. greenhouse gases . . . Vietnam has been classed as a proxy war. It also looks like the Middle East/North Africa issues are becoming a major powers war. What is the definition of a World War? 2 continents and 20 countries, also death tolls that make the "man in the street" notice. We are just about there.
