    The UN wouldn’t do dick to stop the aliens. They’d probably try to engage in talks while every major city gets orbitally bombarded to dust.

    NATO, on the other hand…fetch me my manhole cover.

          There’s no time for democracy when we need unity. Elections are postponed until further notice. I’ll be the Secretary-General until we can safely hold new elections.

        Alien attacks seems out of scope for the U.N. It’s for resolving conflicts between members, and the aliens are probably not members. Downvote if I’m wrong.

      UN repeatedly trying to FaceTime the aliens while they are glassing the planet

      Call one more time, they’ll pick up

        Realistically, that’s probably the best hope.

        An alien race that can travel interstellar isn’t gonna have any difficulties just nuking us all.

          I can count the amount of times diplomacy has saved a FTL civilisation from me in Stellaris on one Congolese hand (Belgian occupation times).
