United States of Eurasia

Enlargement is the new hip fad that the Charter of the United Nations has expressed. Through the terms of the charter, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, and the General Assembly's amount of members have increased form 7 to 9. On a larger scale, 5 major powers (China, France, USSR, Great Britain, and the United States) have come together in hope to form one mega-nation that will bring eternal cooperation and peace to the world.

Why come together? Why now? All of these nations for the most part (except China) felt spent and vulnerable after the demands and disasters of WWII. Therefore, these nations needed to feel ensured again, and this goal could apparently be achieved by assigning more people to one job/council. Similar to how kids must find friends at a new school to avoid being called a "loser," the allied competitors in WWII needed to join a group of international friends to feel safe again. The United Nations served as this much needed group.

However, as appealing the United Nations seems, can every one of the goals mentioned in the charter be met? The United Nations establishes itself as a "world police," which places a heavy burden. Solving international crises and issues is another example of the genre of goals that the United Nations take on. Can the UN really follow through on all of these very demanding goals? What if a 3rd world country is struggling and expects to be aided, yet the UN never ends up helping? This very probable scenario is the very scenario that will not promote peace: it will promote conflict.
