@p @bunbun If you’re a poor country, the UN can really fuck your shit up through economic sanctions and blockades.
There was a country in Africa that used private mercs to pacify it and was spectacularly effective. The UN (read USA) didn’t like this model so they shut it down and forced them to pay the UN for security. Incompetent boobs that they are, the warlords came back amd the country was back on the shithole deluxe track.
