In fact, saying that the UBER UN is here, actually makes it less likely that we'd have more soldiers. Uber UN is uber, right? So we're safe so we don't need soldiers. I mean we, because you and I are minor nations, not important ones.

Alright, this is just plain aggravating to me. Saying that minor or smaller nations don't need an army and are unimportant is self demeaning thinking. For example, Korea and Uzbekistan, the latter is much larger than the former but yet most people would confuse Uzbekistan with the Caspian Sea while Korea is a powerhouse. Even in terms of population, India has less power on the world stage than nations like France or Britain or America despite having less population. Technology? China at one point had the industrial powers of Europe at their knees for trade before opium came in.

And thinking that the Uber UN will protect us because they're the collective assembly of voices and technically have power over its memebers is a large case of naiveté in my book. World peace (or in this case, galatic peace) is a wistful daydream at best, humans biology dictates so as does the evolution and biology of all the other xeno species in play. I'm not saying I don't like world peace, but its impossible to achieve without serious moral and ethic concerns and a really big fucking army.
