The “six-star general” thread got my juices flowing … I fully admit that the following is pretty harebrained. But anyway.
The GQ is thus:
In the event of a significant extraterrestrial threat to all of humankind, are there protocols in place now for international military cooperation? Have any treaties been signed, meetings been held, or anything of the sort taken place and made public?
And now, the IMHO portion of the discussion:
If the armed forces of the world needed to unite and more or less act as one force, how might it be accomplished? I’d assume there’d be no time for negotiations and treaties … there’d have to be a summary means of unifying command. Would the UN, as it exists now and with its existing protocols, be a means to accomplish a true unified command in a dire human emergency?
