Why should the UN do anything when they know that the US will pick up the slack like it always does?

I would love for once the US to go, "Okay, UN, you got this. We'll do what ever everyone wants to do. But they have to go first." And just watch as everyone loses their minds because the US isn't leading the charge.

But that will never happen.

Except if you look at historical conflicts. Look at the Rwandan genocide where it was the UN forces that were in place and it took forever to gain control. I haven't studied the Rwandan genocide in years but I remember the US stayed mostly out of it and left it up to the UN and it was the French forces on the ground. I believe it was around 1994 though.

That was one out of...how many, again?

The US, iirc, does tend to be the one who takes the lead on things. In fact, that's part of why [relatively] recent other countries wanted the US to give up the lead*...Which the US did. It then took them forever to decide who should take over after that.

*Note: This was after the US was in charge for one part of the plan but mutual consensus.

Oh no, I agree that the US tends to jump in, but as an American I think we are getting war-weary and should really take a step back in the conflicts.

Politics is not my strong suit by any means, I would make a terrible politician because of all of the bureaucracy. I like things simple, make a decision and do it.
