The US Joins the League of Nations

The US in the League of Nations was apparently not politically impossible early on, though Wilson would have had to compromise on some important issues. What would the consequences (if any) have been if the US had been in the League?
 
None, since no one took collective security very seriously, especially UK and France. Totally alien to their realist view of diplomacy. Besides, the League is toothless seeing as it had no SC equivalent, to say nothing of an ATL Chapter VII of the UN Charter. It's pretty much ASB for either of those to be in place, because that would mean taking collective security seriously and not reducing military forces by 80% postwar... Kissinger lays all this out in granular detail in Diplomacy.

The Leaugue would be stronger, and just like OTL be able to work fine on human rights cases. Of course the whole structure of the League made it impossible for it to avoid crises.
