Zelensky is basically proposing a worldwide association more powerful than NATO or the UN
to respond both to aggression by rogue nations and to natural disasters.
Good for him.
Editing to add that he emphasizes the need for a QUICK response.
Editing again to add four paragraphs of Zelensky's speech from the transcript at Quartz.com:
https://qz.com/2142992/transcript-of-volodymyr-zelenskyys-speech-to-the-us-congress/
Today the people do not have such tools. Institutions should protect us from war but they unfortunately do not work. We need new alliances and we offer them. We propose to create an association, united for peace, a union of responsible countries to stop conflict immediately, provide all the necessary assistance in 24 hours, weapons if necessary, sanctions if necessary, humanitarian support, finances, everything you need to keep the peace and quickly to save the world, to save life.
Such associations would provide assistance to those who are experiencing natural disasters, who fell victim to humanitarian crisis or epidemics. Remember how difficult it was for the world to do the simplest things just to get a vaccine against covid to save lives, to prevent new strains. The world spent months, years doing things like that much faster to make sure there are no victims.
Ladies and gentlemen, if such an alliance would exist today we would be able to save thousands of lives in our country, in many countries around the world, those who need peace, those who suffer inhumane destruction. I ask you to watch one video. a video of what the Russian troops did in our country, in our land. We have to destroy every single aggressor who seeks to subjugate other nations. Please watch the video.
"Remember Pearl Harbor... Remember September 11..."
Perfect words from Zelensky in this speech.

Colbert just invited Putin's inner circle to celebrate the Ides of March. He won't tell them
how, but "just take a stab at it."
