Hopefully, the nonsense tapers off in good order - it'd strain disbelief were it to be an ongoing issue through the entire series. Besides, the learning process would from a writer's perspective provide a trove of potential plot threads...

I really have to wonder why UN never initiated a treaty that unites all the forces on Earth to combat a common enemy. It's not like the Cold War is more important than the destruction of the human race. :uhoh:
Among likely reasons: disbelief in the existence of such a common enemy; and, as LystAP points out, politicians still jockeying for short-sighted advantage even in the face of overwhelming argument for putting all that on the shelf.
