THIS IS VERY SIMPLE..
THE U.N. CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT U.S. APPROVAL.
THE U.S. CAN DO WHATEVER IT WANTS WITHOUT U.N. APPROVAL.
THE U.N. IS THE ONE ORGANIZATION ON THE PLANET WHERE WORLD COOPERATION IS POSSIBLE.
6 BILLION DOLLARS IS 1/500TH OF OUR YEARLY BUDGET.
The UN is amazing, guys! 4,000 dead in Syria and they can’t even agree on THE WORDING IN A LETTER CONDEMNING ASSAD.
Nice meltdown, you thieving crackhead community college student. Fact of the matter is that voting records have shown that almost every country outside of Britain and Israel votes against the US more often than they vote with it. These are the same countries that we shell out billions of dollars to every year on top of our UN financing.
The UN has more authoritarian states as members than it does democracies. It is a corrupt, wasteful and incredibly incompetent organization whose authoritarian members use its venue as means to demonize the US in an attempt to cover up for their own lack of basic human rights and brutality. The UN gives a forum for free speech to the same people who actively work to squash it in their own countries. That is the epitome of hypocrisy.
The fact that the UN Human Rights Council, which sets human rights policy for the organization, has such egregious violators of human rights like Saudi Arabia, China, Pakistan, (formerly) Libya and (proposed) Syria as members says all that needs to be said about that pathetic excuse for an organization. Also keep in mind that this is the second attempt at a human rights council as the last one ended up packed with human rights-violating dictatorships and devolved into nothing more than a US/Israel bash-fest.
I’m not even going to get topics like how every UN peacekeeping mission (which is always a day late and a dollar short, by the way) usually does more harm than good. Gang rapes, extrajudicial killings and spreading of foreign disease are the norm for UN peacekeepers. Doing their job? Not so much.
One of the best things about Ron Paul is that he knows the UN is waging a war on US sovereignty and will eventually remove us from that abomination of an organization.
There is no purpose for the USA to be in the UN and it benefits us in no way. We know who our allies are and the billions of dollars we spend on it every year while every country and their mother bashes us on the side can be better spent elsewhere. We rightfully defunded the politically-motivated UNESCO two weeks ago. That was a great first step. Next up is defunding the entire organization.
Nice caps-lock meltdown by the way, kid. This isn’t your community college class where showing up gets you an “A” and screaming at the top of your lungs at the Chinese TA isn't going to get you anywhere.
