I feel it did and is doing a fair job. The real test will be and I hope this day never comes, when one or more of the security council nations pull out. Will there be recovery or will it go the way of the League when nations began to pull out or rather were asked to leave?

Hey, that annoying twat here again :P Just your usual reminder to cite your sources, e.g. where did you pull that quote from Litvinov? Also, be careful of using Stalin, or any leader of a nation really but it is a quite common occurrence for Stalin to be referred as such, as a synecdoche for the actions of their governments. Good episode otherwise! :)
