Donald Trump has delivered a shockingly bellicose speech during his first appearance before the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The speech began by striking a tone which sounded more like a speech before a domestic US audience than before the nations of the world.
There are very few inventions which are perfect at the moment of their creation, or which cannot be improved over time. The League of Nations was a new invention when it was first created after the First World War. It was the first attempt to form a global organisation whose main purpose was to prevent war through achieving disarmament and settling disputes through negotiation and arbitration.

Impunity for CIA and police is under threat from domestic exposure and international pressure.

The annual resolution may seem like mere political theater meant to embarrass the U.S.
