The United Nations may soon announce that merely by changing the color of its soldiers’ helmets from blue to green, it can intervene in the business of sovereign nations under the guise of so-called “climate change peacekeeping.”
As you consider this, keep in mind that the current bombing of infrastructure in Libya is also brazenly called “peacekeeping.” In fact, there’s hardly a military campaign that’s been conducted in the last hundreds years that wasn’t sold to the public as a way to create “peace.” Now, the UN is on the verge of “waging peace” wearing green helmets instead of blue helmets. The invocation of all things “green,” it seems, provides justification for just about anything these days… including war.
This new “green” UN initiative is due for discussion in a special meeting of the United Nations security council, where the organization will decide whether to expand its “peacekeeping” role to cover everything that happens in a world suffering under climate change. An article in The Guardian explains that this plan involves “…a new environmental peacekeeping force — green helmets — which could step into conflicts caused by shrinking resources.” (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environme…)
Justification for UN troops on U.S. soil?
