The United Nations goal is technically maintaining international peace and security. If they’re always afraid to do something when a country attacks another without provocation, out of fear of escalating the situation, why does it even exist?

The UN is not a group that maintains peace. It’s more akin to a group-chat on whatsapp. You get to communicate with other nations, and settle disputes via talks rather than via military conflict – but military option is and always will be there.
until the day a country (or indeed all countries) decides to give up military sovereignty, the UN will never be able to actually be capable of keeping peace and security.
