1960 Super UN

Recently I had a brain blast where I saw a form of Super UN with an awesome navy, air force, and army. Is this possible by 1960 or more of a 2100 thing?
 
Eliminate the USSR and you pretty much can get a Super UN peacekeeping force. One problem, no one in the UN agrees with each other ever. Plus it would be a total clusterfuck from command down to squads. Let's say Command is based in Madrid in this time frame. Translating it into over 30+ languages is going to cause massive problems. Then again, I could be far over thinking this.

Okay let's say they do make it, who would support them? Would they take an American system of using bases on every continent with a main base on a neutral continent near to the rich nations so they dont "prematurely intervene?" Actually would the world just dump all their their old weapons on them?
 
On their previous record they'd have a massive military but take months to actually decide to do anything with it then impose really restrictive ROEs on any force that it couldn't use its power when it was deployed. :D

Don't forget the part about becoming large customers of the local sex trade that is one area the UN forces seem to have down pat.

I was meaning a true UN army with real power and a driving will of it's own that scares the USA and USSR. Guess it would take a World War so violent to accomplish this

Who is going to pay for this? Getting UN members to pony-up of a military budget of this size is going be hard. After all, I presume that the US and USSR will not be contributing to a military that scares them.
 
If the USSR is defeated in WWII and the Nazis are crushed by the Anglo/American War Machine, the USA will be the Germany + France if you want the UN to be a global EU.

The UN will never rival the great powers on its own.

Hmmm, thanks for that. Too bad, I wanted to see a non-mock able UN.
