The United Nations Organisation is a toothless lion

If your saying the UN has no real policing force or jurisdiction I would point out two things. First, the security council, the smallest body of the UN, consisting of only France, Russia, China, the UK, and the US pretty much dictate what incidents the UN condemns and who they condemn, and since they are usually the nations in question they take no action against themselves or hold themselves to the same standards they impose on other countries. Secondly, the UN is responsable for the enforcement of most organized sanctions against nations, so they have the power to impose embargos, seize a countries foreign assets and a host of other methods to "fuck shit up." This economic leverage is just as effective at sending the troops in. If you don't like how a country is acting just cut off the foreign aid and food exports and quite literally starve them out. Famines have actually been caused this way, so I think venomous snake is more accurate than toothless lion. 1
