Daniel Bessner is like the dude historian for all good leftist pod casts. Always stoked to listen to what he had to share.

The point made by Bessner about how (apart from post ww2 Japan and Germany) intervention has never worked, not once, and that leftist foreign policy must put diplomacy front and centre, can be underscored by pointing out diplomacy has actually worked many times. So regardless of the superior moral commitments, the raw empirical historical facts suggest foreign policy steps as follows: (1) try diplomacy first, (2) try diplomacy second, (2+n) repeat trying diplomatic variants until exhaustion, then (2+n+1) try all kinds of soft interventions before any physical intervention force. But I also think, when an imminent genocide or other disaster is apparent, the USA should even then still not intervene in foreign countries, it has to be a UN collective effort.

What I'm asking is why does US foreign policy discussion hardly ever mention the role of the UN? Even Bernie and Tulsi talk first about USA intervention forces and policy. Why not cut out that middle and go straight to the strategy for when UN interventions are illegal and when they are justified?
