Banned, true, but who's going to enforce the ban? If the US and its allies decide to start a nuclear war, there will be no one to enforce it.

But Britain is our ally...and France only has arbitrary political power in the UN. In my opinion, actually, the US should withdraw from the UN.

The UN is corrupt (Oil for Food Program), and in it, there are mostly third-world countries, which have the most votes. The system is basically this: US and the rich superpowers provide the entire funding for the UN, but the numerous third-world countries get to decide what happens in the UN...is that right?

i don't think so thrid-world countries don't even get into the UN to begin with its motsly Eruope, Asia, and America. I don't think really any African countries are in it nor much of middle eastern ones either................

Well...Australia is an island, a continent, and a country. So that's one...
And in N. America there are two countries: US and Canada. There must be something wrong with where you got those figures.

lol try again Australia is New Guinea as a country and like French New Guinea or somethin. I dunno what else they have with all those littler islands around it. N- America includes all the countries in Central America plus Greenland. so you do have alot more.

No, those islands are known as Oceania or something. Australia is only the main island. And N. America includes ONLY the two countries. Central America is not exactly North, nor South.

its North its not its own continent so it has to belong to either N or S. and it is part of N. America

yea................. just for some randomness theres a difference between a compasses North (magnetic north) and Earth's north (true north)................ Magnetic north is a combination of true north and true east, which it is about 20% toward true east. And then true north is a combination of true north and true west...................... yea......................

That's because the Earth's magnetic field is in a period of fluctuation right now, or so scientists say...
