[@malaka6668]

What a speech - it is 2020 and felt as relevant as it has been back in 2016!

[@lynette4412]

[@tamarahunyadi2598]

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

[@YHWHthegreatIAM]

The world has not changed at all. We just have a very finite view of things.

[@lila-yw2gn]

Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone If a super powerful man like you would be my protector then i no longer have to worry abt anything

[@andreablavia8205]

this is amazing

[@divithh1477]

Nothing if free. Even peace has a price

[@TommyElijahCabelloReal]

Well, why should we buy murder when we can buy peace and our ultimate survival?

[@KingPorchoua]

Light Blue helmets are United Nation soldiers, Light Green helmets are the Citizens of Earth soldiers and the Light Red helmets are the Earth Federation. Why do peace keeping force solders always wear a light color helmets?

[@Cedrikkkk]

to clearly distinguish them from other forces to prevent blue on blue incidents

[@connietaylor9890]

Change come soon next time we peace keep in our own country

[@brianokeeffe3269]

She said there are 125,000 UN troops deployed. Making them the largest force in the world. But the US deployed over 193,000 in the same year as this video. I'm confused...

[@LatiasVro]

this is just not correct, the US deploys around 60,000-70,000 people during times of small war like Iraq and Afghanistan, this is the total statistic of deployed troops between all military bases and active troops.

[@TommyElijahCabelloReal]

Personnel. Not troops.

[@bencarlson4300]

The UN is a bureaucratic nightmare, they could have the greatest military ever but never agree on how it should be used

[@globalhealingprayermission7641]

Good

[@connietaylor9890]

Do u get that yet

[@Cybernaut551]

Absolutely.

[@connietaylor9890]

And I'm still young enough to fight for my country land most important to protect my child bwho doesn't want to kill ..but I will protect so get the story straight

[@connietaylor9890]

Next time IL give all back that

[@ΝικήταςΜακοπουλος]

I think that there's been always a question, a dilemma, a choice between national security, sovereignty, interest, and global things like peace, harmony, brotherhood, understanding. We might easily perish until we comprehend that it's immeasurably foul to worth ones instead of another. WE ALL ARE PEOPLE. That's enough to stop waging wars, make conflicts nonsensical and needless. That's more than enough to help each other in difficult times like now when we, industrialized and technically advanced society, we couldn't prevent the spreading of the tiny, basically nonliving virus across the planet in a few months. Tha's real problem when hundreds, million of unguilty people just die due to our arrogance and stupidity. We still have things like patriotism, an engine washing brains of vulnerable people making them feel that they are special and the most important, powerful. What is power? Killing others because of the fact they are not like you, because their skin color is different from yours, or because they practice another religion? What are the causes that fuel empty heads to take the gun and go after someone who does not share the same things you share, who does not resemble you? I know. There is no cause. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SENSE.

[@maryann8794]

but there HAS to be security. We need to feel secure. You know, maybe you're right, maybe we can't have both peace *and* security but if it weren't for the high security in airports, policemen risking their lives everyday, we wouldn't be secure. There will always be bad people and the mentally ill and we need some sort of security from them. We just have to figure out a way to have both peace and security.

[@txjellybean3772]

When we hear "Peace and Safety" Jesus said is when we would know we were in the last days!

[@sandy89107]

Make peace with war....sounds like 1984

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Peacekeeping Orginal concept started 1948. World war World War II. Progressions for change from the United Nations impact our world securities. 193 countries with their OWN values and ideas. International human rights applications have modules and sanctions we can not take lightly.

[@Dingdongwitchisdead]

Every Dark Lord of Siths starts as a Chancellor of the Republic. They amass the seemingly good Clones to uphold the honor of the Old Republic before unleashing their reign of terror. Oh wait, wrong movie.

[@Cybernaut551]

Good soldiers follow legal ethics.
