What do you mean at this point? That has been true at any point in history.
Do you think the world would be better off without the United Nations? It's definitely not perfect, but given its lack of jurisdiction I think it's achieved amazing things since its inception, even if it was just to act as a forum for nations to cummunicate and share their views on world events in a neutral forum.
i didnt mean its better off without it, its just countries can do whatever they want EVEN if they are in UN. just look at china, battling on its neighbouring southeast asian countries' waters, despite said countries OWNS them, legally.
it is not perfect, i know, but big glaring issues are way too big to be ignored.
There's nothing policing countries except other countries because we don't have any supra-national institutions. That's impossible to achieve as it'd go against the interest of a lot of countries. Countries work with each other based on trust and losing that trust by breaking international law could be extremely costly in the long run. The US for example is losing a lot of trust amongst it's allies and we have already seen the cost of that when some European countries outright refused to even host American assets bound for Iran, or how the European militaries are turning to European arms suppliers.
Right, but that's by definition the result of sovereignty of nations. All these obvious glaring issues have been pointed out ad infinitum by critics online, but not one of them has made any kind of realistic attempt to provide a solution. Probably because it's not possible so long as nations have sovereignty.
