Post 6: The United Nations
I hate the UN. The UN should be moved to Paris, and let the French have it. The UN is an interesting organization though, in a way. The UN though it is founded by the US, funded by the US, armed by the US, and in the US, seeks to destroy the soveriegnty that created it. You know, the UN uses the American troops almost more than we do. According to James F. Dunnigan, in his book How to Make War,
“From 1956 to 1992, US foreign troops were sent into foriegn nations 51 times. About 1.4 interventions a year. Since 1992, we have also gone in 51 times, about 6.5 times a year. That’s a nearly fivefold increase. A THIRD of American armed forces are currently tied up with peacekeeping missions, even more if you include the half century old Korean “police action”. But so often are US troops called on, usually at the behest of the United Nations, that you now have the American Army referred to as “UN troops”.” [emphasis mine]
UN TROOPS!?! Heck no, they are our men, from America, our American Army, our American Marines. Screw the UN! These countries that have a civil war every two minutes, screw them too. We shouldn’t have to cover every body all the time. And the libs wonder why we are spread so thin. Lets adhere to the Monroe doctrine, and not the doctrine of the UN. The main points of the Monroe Doctrine, according to wikipedia, are:
” First, it conveys that European countries cannot colonize in any of the Americas: North, Central, or South. Second, it enforces Washington’s rule of foreign policy, in which the U.S. will only be involved in European affairs if America’s rights are disturbed. Third, the U.S. will consider any attempt at colonization a threat to its national security. [Teddy! not frankie] Roosevelt added to the doctrine, and summed up his additions with the statement, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”"
Roosevelt had his corallary, so here’s mine to make this doctrine even better. The King Crusader Corollary:
“If any nation threatens us or any nation on our hemisphere, we’ll take you out.”
Boom. The End. Isolationism at its finest. If Islamabad has a civil war Europe, your problem, you wanna use the UN or EU or some other crap, go for it. But Iran threatened us. North Korea threatened us. Let’s take em out. We don’t need the UN. The UN is a cramp in our style. I’m not saying we should blow off relation with all other nations, just the thing that Frankie created. A quick three reasons why the UN sucks:
1. Tyrant nations like Iran are allowed to be in it. Commis are allowed to members of the permanent security council. The Soviet Union vetoed and China vetos everything we try to do.
2. The UN [and our own lib politicians] screw us up in war. When the going gets tough, the libs start running.
3. We give the most most forces, and the most money, but we have no extra say in what our men are doing over there. Everybody says “Bush, why didn’t you wait for the UN? ” If he did the war would be on our soil right about now.
We need to talk with other nations, but their advice should NEVER run our country.
King Crusader, signing out.
