United Nations was established in Oct 24, 1945. It was formed by basically the countries in allied powers in WWII, i.e. USA, France, Russia, UK (including India). Then India was under British rule but it had elected government with Indian people in it. Hence, India was a founding member of UN.
In 1950 India was offered with permanent member of United Nation Security Council (UNSC) with “VETO” powers. But our so called intellectual PM (then in 1950) rejected the offer saying ‘his’ best-friend China deserves the offer. How intelligent !!!! India is now temporary member of UNSC for tenure of 2 years. China which Nehru then saw as a ‘plum blossom’ actually is a dragon who is now about to cook barbecues of our ‘tiger’. The credit again goes to our great PM (then in 1950). China is the only country to reject the membership of India as permanent member in UNSC.
UN cannot be called as a complete World government, but it’s partial for of it. UN has it’s own army called ‘United Nations Peace keeping Force’. Meetings are organized in regular interval of time called United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). UNGA can undertake only general issues like: Global Warming etc, but cannot undertake issues like tensions between two countries and war situations, for it UNSC is established as mentioned above….!
UN needs money for its every project as everyone does, which is provided by International Monitory Funds (IMF). . IMF also conducts elections for its comity members as UN does for it’s every project. But, unlike UN the voters in IMF does not have equal value for their votes. The value of vote here depends on amount donated by each country to IMF.52% of IMF’s funds are donated by just 10 countries from which 8 are members of NATO. So, the logic is simple; IMF pays UN and most donating country has highest authority in IMF. Therefore, whoever will pay more shall have highest authority in UN’s dirty politics. So, many times it is observed that UN says the exact similar to US president.
In Iraq, in the year 1968 Saddam Hussein who was a Marshal in Iraq’s military played well to get his Ba’th party to power. In 1979 Marshal Saddam himself became the president of Iraq leading it to military dictatorship in Iraq (with senseless elections) and finally hung.
NATO claimed that Iraq was working on nuclear weapons secretly.At at point of time NATO group (predominantly USA) decided to take military action on Iraq.This war is known as Gulf War which lasted from Aug 2, 1990 to Feb 28 1991. As Iraq is also a member of UN; no member country can take any military action against another member country, so UN council argued it to be illegal and forgot the it as US was included in it.
But, when India was on it’s military help in year 1971 for the innocent lives in Bangladesh (as it’s now called) colonized by Pakistan then, UN threatened India, NATO forces were actually send on India, India was isolated just because it didn’t paid great amount and was in favour/useful of US.
USA has made it's agenda of endless war. In Afghanistan war which lasted from Oct 7,2001 - Aug 30, 2021 gave a great market to US’s weapon making companies like Boeings, Airforce Airguns, American Derringer etc. Likely to India these companies provide funds to the political parties during elections. If your observe that there is war somewhere in world at time of any president; Russia-Ukraine war current time, war between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan in 2020, US-Mexico war in 2006 and many more each time when there is war somewhere in the world US is always in profits due to it’s weapon sales. It’s could be said that US creates the wars for it’s own profits.
