When the United Nations was being created there was the idea for it to have a military
But that was quickly squashed because no state once the power above it
One of the choice forms of power is the Monopoly of force which states have especially in dist armed societies
Like the United Kingdom and Israel
You'll be surprised how to arms the Israeli population has but that's due to the culture
In the Jewish past if they fought back their entire population would have been exterminated compared to 80%
That would have been outrage killed but 20% would have survived
Those numbers are not exact I'm just picking it up from memory
But you can see how it leads to a culture where they don't fight back because they play possum as a survival strategy
