The UNSC has many problems though:


 * Their entire defense fleet after the War is pretty much curbstomped, they are rebuilding but it will take a long time to get back to full strength.


 * The Infinity will most likely be the only one of it's time due to the rarity of the Forerunner tech that was implemented into it.


 * The Council isn't as divided as you make them out to be. They didn't help the quarians because the quarians did something incredibly stupid, and the Reaper war was way to big for them to help humanity instantly (even though they did when they actually had the forces to do so, making the entire point mute).


 * The Council still one ups the UNSC in terms of technology and numbers, and every single Council shit has kinetic barriers and Lasers.
