The American obsession of thinking of the UN as world government
I don't know if it's because of Trump, but as far as I can tell Americans don't think of the UN at all anymore.
At all. There have been so many recent events where the UN could have been involved, but wasn't.
E.g. when the USA recently smoked General Soleimani with Hellfire missles, where was the UN?
I watch local and network evening news on a regular basis, but didn't hear anything about this being discussed in the UN.
Perhaps it was debated, but it went unnoticed by about 99% of the US population.

This is a good example of the weird attitude where Americans think of the UN as a world government. UN is a place where diplomats of different countries keep constantly in touch and maintain relations. That's all it is. UN does not have opinions. The member countries have, UN is only a place where they are presented. UN does not do things. The member countries do things, UN is the place where this is organized.
