I also believe that countries get their power from the people. That is why I always say that the labor in other countries will eventually organize either through unions of political parties to demand higher wages for all. Some people claim that the United States has to go back to paying third world wages in order to compete when in fact the rest of the world will slowly rise up to meet our wage scale.

Yet, I'll bet you would say that the UN does not have the authority to punish countries if they violated the trade sanctions with Iran.
That is what made this deal tough. We only got it because we got other countries like Russia and China on our side. They were not going to agree to keep sanctions in place indefinitely.
