"So basicaly, the U.N. has alot of power over the U.S. military and the comentators on the show state that the U.N. is using the U.S. as a pawn because of its power and influence. The funny thing is, the U.S. doesn't need the U.N. at all and it could withdraw its membership w/o any change to Americans. The U.N. is quietly trying to change U.S. doctrine into U.N. doctrine."
Even if the U.S does withdraw from the U.N for whatever reason (though very unlikely) the economic impact would be terrible. A lot of country's within the U.N would be very pissed and some may cut down on their trade with the U.S and some may even go as far as to cut all relations with the U.S (China for one). And soon thereafter NATO would fall apart. (good or bad I do not know )
Though a large part fo the peace keeping force I do not think the U.N has the U.S wrapped around its finger. But the U.N does need some serious work.(Just today the PM of Canada along with the president of the U.S made a statment about this issue.)
