>>having to ask the UN permission to engage our military is an act of surrendering our sovereignty<< we don't have to do this and i think everyone realizes it. we do it in the name of "trying to work" with other countries. if we had no choice then we'd have a serious issue. we do have a choice. nobody on this board, to my knowledge, has supported the UN having 100% say on our military options yt harsh words were traded. >>to achieve the goals of globalists and "free" traders we must cede some sovereignty to a higher authority. it is black or white. our nation cannot retain full sovereignty and freedom of action and also participate in this global one world order. you just can't distribute the power to both entities.<< how can we have full freedom if we aren't free to give up some sovereignty? ha ha! seriously, you raise some good points. no doubt our current policy has some holes. however, sticking up the statue of liberty's middle finger to the rest of the world as the only alternative seems a bit... limiting. there may be other solutions worth pursuing. btw, the US can thumb its nose at these "world" organization anytime it wants - and doesn't hesitate to do so.
