…Which doesn’t address the issue. How, EXACTLY, do you enforce anything without the willingness to use force? Have you seen NATO Peacekeepers? They rarely–if ever–use force, and as a result they are almost entirely ineffective at preventing shit.
Tends to, but the accords that ended WWI required Germany to pay absolutely ruinous reparations; even with open borders, international business ties, etc., the economic depression caused by that treaty would have laid the foundation for WWII. Moreover, I note that both the US and the EU had fairly solid trade ties with Russia prior to their invasion of Crimea, and that has done pretty much fuck-all to temper Putin’s imperial ambitions.
So, again: how do you enforce ANYTHING without being willing to use force?
Do you really believe that? Or is it maybe that the US always has a naval detachment close by, and has pledged to use military force to ensure that Taiwan remains free? Because China has certainly been ratcheting up their insistence that Taiwan is theirs, and that they intend to take it.
It does. It preempts the re-arming of Europe in the 1930s.
UN Peacekeeping has a Sexual Abuse Problem
Seems like they are all too eager to use force, just so long as it is directed at the vulnerable and easily exploited.
