The UN and NATO were formed and worked when there was a clear and present enemy(socialism). Since the fall of Russia there has been no significant socialist republic(save China) forcing the spread of socialism, thus the need for NATO/UN has gone by the wayside. Not to mention the fact that the countries that we are talking about do not recognize NATO/UN as any kind of authoritative figure. IMO NATO/UN should both be scrapped and/or revamped and given some teeth and claws to enforce a "standard of conduct" among nations. Besides, NATO/UN never really did anything for America other than giving us a place to voice our displeasure of other countries in a public forum, and suck money from our coffers.
