Agreed. Two thirds of its members are thugs and the UN won't change its values. Leave Kofi in place and let the organization die a slow natural death. It will not be missed.

"let the organization die a slow natural death."

I would actually prefer that we use this as an excuse to get out of the UN.

If US & Japan withdraws, there goes 40% of the UN's funding.

Let France and Germany, not to mention Russia make it up, if they want.

Contributions to the UN's budget:

USA 22 %
Japan 19.628 %
Germany 9.493 %
France 6.283 %
United Kingdom 5.380 %
Italy 4.922 %
Canada 2.573 %
Spain 2.448 %
Brazil 1.702 %
Netherlands 1.688 %
Australia 1.604 %
Korea, Republic of 1.318 %
Russia 1.200 %
Belgium 1.098 %
Sweden 0.998 %
