I now realise that my occasional attempts to revitalise the idea of a @UN Air Force to celebrate #UN75 were utterly lacking in ambition.

This is fascinating: The US kicked around the idea of 10,000-personnel @UN air force with nuclear weapons based in #Canada. What say you @BobRae48 and @CanadaUN?

More fascinating details from @RyanAMusto& #39;s fascinating paper on early US proposals to give the #UnitedNations the atom bomb. The UK didn& #39;t like the idea because it thought other P5 members would veto the use of nukes against their allies (or even, shockingly, themselves)...

Advocates of a UN Air Force armed with nuclear weapons also suggested that it could be funded by... a tax on international travel. That& #39;s an idea that environmentalists now often propose to cover costs of green policies.

Nothing is ever really new @UN, nothing...
