Are we going to drop out of the UN?

[lawgator1]

Haley's speech sure hints at it. Or at least that we won't fund it anymore. We fund 22 percent of it now, plus 28 percent of the peacekeeping operations.

Why is this always such a popular target for the neocons? Just because they publicly vote against us, with no teeth to any of it, is no reason to undermine an institution which has often served US interests.

Newsflash, Donny: World leaders won't suck up to you like your lackeys in the Congress.

Saudia Arabia is head of the Human Rights Council. It's a joke.

You can find all sorts of things to criticize within it, no doubt. But so what? Its designed to allow for baby steps for these countries. Better that than not have a collective place to communicate.

 

[Grand Vol]

You say it's a popular target for Neocons.

Why do liberals think we should be adopting everything that comes out of the UN?

If the U.N. sexual abuse crisis has an epicenter, it is the Congo, where the scope of the problem first emerged 13 years ago - and where promised reforms have most clearly fallen short. Of the 2,000 sexual abuse and exploitation complaints made against U.N. peacekeepers and personnel worldwide over the past 12 years, more than 700 occurred in Congo, The Associated Press found. The embattled African nation is home to the U.N.’s largest peacekeeping force, which costs a staggering $1 billion a year.

Link that "liberals" say we "should be adopting everything that comes out of the UN"?

Like I said, you can find individual things you like or don't like. Some we might even agree on.

That is hardly the point. You can't just go around in the world community and jettison every institution that disagrees with you. And let's face it, there is plenty of controversy over Trump's move, even within the US, and even within the GOP or the Dems.

 

[Grand Vol]

And let's face facts, LG. Had Obama brought up cutting funding to the UN, you would have creamed yourself and applauded the effort as a great step for our nation.

Perhaps if you weren't such a partisan ****, you would see decreasing funding could be a good thing...

I'm on mobile at the moment having some glorious bigot filed and racist Chick-fil-A. I'll have to link later.

False

Aren’t we supposed to be trimming the defense budget? Seems like cutting out what we shouldn’t be paying for is a great place to start. Europe is the brother that thinks you should chip in more for mom’s Christmas present because you make more money.

 

[golfballs]

We should

False

Which part? You being a partisan **** or decreasing the spending being good?

I'm not a fan of spicy really.

We could only hope that we pull out of the U.N :clapping: That bunch hates our guts.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

We should

Absolutely correct. The UN is worthless.

They hate our guts and take our money. Screw em all, I say move the UN headquarters to Jerusalem.

Who would fund it if the US dropped out?

We could, but Israel will make a settlement there...

Oh, wait....

After sitting in the DMV all afternoon, I have decided we need less bureaucracy. So let's leave the UN and be pals with Canada.

The DMV has turned me into an anarchist.
