In the UN's case it was specifically designed without balls, these

Good point. I'm kinda glad they aren't that aggressive because who do
you think they'd come after first? In fact, I think the reason they
accomplish so little is not that they have no balls. It's because deep
down, they think rape, slavery, and genocide are only crimes if
perpetrated by capitalists. For everyone else, they'll just kinda get
to it when they get to it (which is never).
Why some in the US hate the EU so much I don't know, but I'd guess
it has something to do with disliking anyone who could potentially
challenge the US as the world's *only* superpower - whether it be a
united Europe, China, or Australia armed with nuclear powered
Kangaroos and sharks with laser beams :) (we could do it you know -
don't try and stop us!)
Free societies aren't a threat to one another. We don't like the EU
because of their complete disregard for individual rights. It was
conceived of and implemented by socialists. It's that simple.
