| John Doggett! Long time, no see....Well, I cannot see the European Union, Russia, China, Israel, or several other countries allowing the UN to supercede existing institutions, much less the United States. Without the United States and Europe, the UN pretty much cannot afford to pursue its wilder ambitions or to field a credible army. Nor do I think that NATO is going to give up its independence to the UN,and, in any case, realistically, the United States, the UK, and Canada are the backbone of the organization, and nothing will happen over their vetoes. I think remaining in NATO is still in our interest, for the time being. We might, though, consider getting out of the UN once and for all, and asking it to move to Geneva....... |
