The world seems to be preparing a grand alliance against a common enemy. It appears that the United Nations Security Council and other countries of NATO are adopting resolutions aimed at all UN countries to unite against Isis. Some are asking if this indeed is a declaration of World War III, while others are uncertain if the world or the United Nations are prepared for another World War with so many unresolved issues present among these nations.
It must be stressed that to date no war declaration has been made by any United Nation representative, however based on the UN's Security Councils bylaws which say that when five countries or more get together against a common target this may be considered as a world war. Resolutions across the globe are short and strong, and focused on one primary goal to fight against the common enemy. Both old and new world news continues to shed light on a second concern; is the United Nations prepared (tactically) for a World War? With over 5000 troops from the US and NATO conducting the largest airborne exercises in Europe since the Cold War, and with Germany going as far as recruiting class room students, it’s safe to say at least two countries of the United Nations are pulling no stops to be prepared.
In conclusion, it’s clear with so many nations involved that it would seem counterproductive to not be armed in ready for a war of such magnitude. Ultimately the side better prepared strategically would seem to have an advantage. But have we prepared ourselves with enough Intel to defend against what seems to be an invisible opponent. Our common enemy Isis, could very well be the person standing next to you, and if that were so, who would be better prepared?
