X : A UN standing army?
Me : Yes. In my view, the UN should have the single most powerful and overwhelmingly destructive military force with a mission to end conflicts quickly and force all sides to a negotiation mediated by the UN ... regardless of the conflict, anywhere.

X : Mediation? What if that fails.

X : Gladiator style?
Me : They started the conflict which others have to finish, so yes.

X : To the death?
Me : Oh no, more "to the spandex" ... Gladiator style with big rubber cudgels. Daily bouts televised to the entire nations.

X : That would be ridiculous.
Me : That's the point. These leaders should be humbled and made to look ridiculous in front of the UN and their nations, whilst their own people mediate the solution and UN investigate any war crimes.
