Then someone has to explain you the function and the powers of the UN first, because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The UN is mostly about diplomacy, preventive diplomacy being it's main goal. Thanks to the forum the UN is, many conflicts have been prevented. It's when the UN fails that war breaks out. Not the other way around... In some trouble spots, the mere presence of a skilled envoy can prevent the escalation of tension. These envoys often cooperate with regional organizations. But even when war breaks out, UN actions have been crucial to stop or prevent further bloodshed. Such as the genocide in Yugoslavia, where the UN asked NATO to intervene. Many conflicts ended, either through direct UN mediation, or through the efforts of others acting with UN support. Countries assisted included El Salvador, Guatemala, Namibia, Cambodia, Mozambique, Tajikistan, and Burundi. In the late nineties, continuing crises led to new operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Timor Leste, Sierra Leone and Kosovo. In the new millennium, peacekeepers have been deployed to Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan, South Sudan, Haiti, and Mali. Today's conflicts are less numerous but deeply rooted. For example, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Darfur, and South Sudan today, are in a second or third wave of conflict. And many are complicated by regional dimensions that are key to their solution. In fact, some two-thirds of peacekeeping personnel today are deployed amid ongoing conflict, where peace agreements are shaky or absent. Conflicts today are also increasingly intensive, involving determined armed groups with access to sophisticated armaments and techniques. We can also thank the UN for it's work to ensure that outer space is used for peaceful purposes and that the benefits from space activities are shared by all nations.

Good video, but there a couple of really important things you forgot: - There was a large number of American college students on the island, and the U.S Government was concerned that they would be held hostage. - Two days before the invasion, the Beirut Barracks bombing occurred, ending U.S involvement in the Lebanese Civil War, meaning that Reagan was free to focus on the Grenada Problem, which he couldn't before due to Lebanon. - The invasion had major logistical problems as the U.S rangers did not have the proper maps.

One of our guides told us the same thing, but he happened to be a Communist sympathizer, who flat out changed the entire history of the invasion. He changed dates and sequence of events, so I don't believe a word he said. But I question the American student comment all together. I have a difficult time believing there would be American students in a Communist country during the Cold War.

@@disco1974ever There were Cuban troops there, they were helping to build the airport. During the Grenadian revolution Cuba contributed about 500 Cuban airport workers, advisors on every aspect of society, culture and technology, doctors etc. They trained many Grenadians to be doctors too & helped to improve the island's education system as a whole. There was no real military in Grenada at the time, or military weapons, Cuba provided a small amount of (out dated) weapons. This all made the US paranoid because of the Cold War, so they pretended there were American students being held hostage so they could get coked up & fly a helicopter into some mountains before destroying homes & killing a load of people. Everyone I have ever asked (& I know a few people who were there) has said that the "official" story that is usually told is mostly false.

Interesting I actually lived through this on the island. I have a few points of contention - otherwise Well done. It's Gre-nada not Grah-nada Coard placed Bishop under house arrest after Bishop visited the Reagan administration in Washington DC and Castro in Havana. Read what you will into that... Bishop was freed mostly by uniformed secondary students. The central committee ordered army loyalist to attack and kill Bishop and his followers in St George's. To this date the number of people who died is not published. Coard was not releaved of his command/control of the central committee. I remember the radio anouncement - and at no point was this brought up. It was clear that if the Americans did not invade that there was probably going to be a civil war as the army was split in support for and against the decisions of the central committee. The island was very very tense. Many people were making final arrangements

There would not have been any civil war if America left Grenada alone!

The OECS was essentially scared of Grenada. Trinidad had lots of scares of Grenada invading them - all of hoaxes. Maybe a civil war is too broad a term. There certainly would have been fighting. I have spoken to many past members of the PRA and many members of the militia post invasion - they were angry about Bishop's assassination - there would have been some armed insurection.

To this date Grenada has not come to terms with the loss/sacrifice we suffered/made on October 19th (the date Maurice Bishop was assassinated along with innocent school children). The bad. There is no official list. We don't know their final resting place(s). There is a lot more good and bad. For me. This would be a start. There are also some other mysteries - such as prior to October 19th 1983 - why did Bishop go to the USA? What was discussed with the Reagan administration? Why did Bishop stop off in Havana before going back to Grenada? What did Bishop discuss with Castro? Why was Bishop called a traitor and arrested when he landed in Grenada?

Majd Aasee Iraq got screwed over because Obama pulled all the troops out once it had gotten to a more stable condition, against all general advisers, however for a short time Iraq enjoyed an almost full fledged democracy. Vietnam was a bad call. North Vietnam was working on accepting defeat whenever word got out that America was pulling out do to social unrest so they just waited them out and won. However for many years the south Vietnamese enjoyed a lot of freedom for a country that was completely war torn before America, and would later go on and make some capitalistic reforms about ten years later and is verging capitalism today and more democratic ideology. Meaning the Americans went to defend south from the retarded north who'd later go on to want to be the south, a.k.a the north resulted in thousands of deaths. And I can't speak for Libya, have no clue what happened there.
@majdaasee83837 жыл бұрын
ThatGuyRandomly actually if America never invaded Iraq nothing bad would have happened, and the only thing America gave Iraq after all the death and destruction is an apology!! go see Iraq from 2003 until 2011 was destroyed completely by America, and as a result (or as the American propaganda says) ISIS took a third of Iraq territory while the army (that America destroyed to begin with) was thrown into chaos and couldn't defend Iraq, which caused the PMU to form (which is supported by Iran) and it's the one that is destroying ISIS now....so America came, invaded Iraq because of a lie the American government made, destroyed the country's economy and military, caused terrorists to rule, then just left the country in chaos, and you want to tell me that it's not America's fault? it's entirely America's fault from the beginning to the end about Vietnam, the north got it's freedom because of the support from Soviet union and China, while the south remained under French occupation!! it's under occupation!! if south America was under Russian occupation, wouldn't north America fight to restore unity with the south? and who said the south was a happy country? it was called a democracy but in reality it was ruled by a dictator just like the north, read about it, and France as an invader doesn't have the right to decide how Vietnamese want to rule their country....France and America should leave countries to choose their own systems, just because capitalism works for your country doesn't mean it works for every one, so stop being arrogant.... and about Libya you can read what happened, America suggested to intervene in Libya to stop the "terror" caused by all sides, it was a big lie just like the one they made in Iraq, but no one could stop them, they started bombing the army instead of the terrorists, the government fell, the terrorists took control, and the NATO secured the oil industry in Libya, and now look now how the "terror" stopped and how "free" and "happy" the Libyan people are and their economy "growing" beyond imagination now....

It has also flown within 50 miles of California. The US could not allow missiles in Cuba nor Russian bombers in Grenada.

Illegal? The regional security organization asked for help from the US to deal with the growing problem in Grenada. This wasn't a unilateral operation. In fact, I was on one of the ships heading towards Grenada when we heard the S.O.S. put out by Grenada so this wasn't even a surprise operation. Nice try though, maybe next time you leave emotions out of your statement and look at all the facts first.

I spent 2 years in Grenada (pronounced "Gren-AY-da") in the 1980s, and I feel that the 'Intervention' was justified. Prior to the intervention, the socialist government (backed by Fidel Castro) armed young men, including teenagers, with a variety of weapons. Cocky, uneducated young men walked around like a bunch of thugs. Then there was a coup, and the nation's leaders were executed by firing squads. Hardworking Grenadians were at the mercy of this group. Sure, the USA was not welcomed by some, especially the young men who had grown up thinking they'd have careers in the military, which was mostly disbanded. Some Grenadians were very glad to have countries intervene to try to get things back to normal. The situation was much more complicated than it might seem. The murderers of the president have been released from jail. It must be strange for some people, having these people living free on their island.

All foreign military personnel were "advisors" but in fact they had their own tactical units that tried to defend against the invasion, so I'll let you decide if they were advisors or not.

Patrick O'Neil filibusters were also private wars where Americans tried to, and occasionally successfully, invaded nations in Latin America, with the goal of either establishing their own little country or annexing it to the US. Texas is often seen as the prime example but given it was heavily populated by legal migrants who eventually wanted independence it's not quite the same as some outright invasions

Watch PBS Frontline "Operation Urgent Fury" Broadcast Date 01/26/1988 "Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Seymour Hersh investigates one of Reagan's greatest triumphs -- the rescue of American students during the 1983 invasion of Grenada. The report reveals an inept U.S. military operation and severely questions whether the students needed rescuing at all."
