Tensions escalated after Bolton, who holds the rotating presidency of the 15-nation Security Council in February, scheduled council meetings next week on procurement fraud and sexual abuse by peacekeepers.
The nerve of these countries, objecting to eliminating fraud and abuse!
Goes to show you how far the UN has sunk, not that it was ever much to begin with, but now it's literally a den of thieves.
WHY BOTHER, just get US out of the UN and be done with it already.
Bolton building the case bump.
UN is a "jobs program for third world bureaucrats."

Five or six years ago, the UN could do no wrong in most people's eyes. That has changed. Now the leftists support it, but the average person is far less admiring of the institution.
There wasn't a chance in the world that a president could pull the US out of the UN without crippling political damage. But that's changing, too.
I think we may be approaching a time when pulling out of the UN could be a realistic possibility, in spite of the way the MSM has tried to bury all the scandals.
The regretable fact is that what this article routinely calls "third world nations" are a coalition of the corrupt: dictators, Muslims, French, Belgians, and so forth. Now that the Cold War is over, exactly what does "third world" mean, anyway? Other than politically correct?
If Kofi Annan argues that the US is evil because it opposes UN trafficking in child sex abuse and massive corruption in food for oil, how will the MSM cover up for that?

Are developing nations objecting, or their thieving governments?
"US handling of UN reform angers developing nations".
And how long have these "developing nations" been on the face of the earth? Long enough to "develope"?
Here's a better title.
"US handling of UN reform angers parasitic nations that cannot fend for themselves without a large amount of foreign aid being sent their way".
And even then they have a difficult time.
Bolton is the best thing to happen to the UN in a long time.
For "developing nations" read "third-world brutal dictatorships who trample on the human rights of their people and any other people they can lay their hands on." U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S.!
Tough fecal matter to the losers.
Yeah, I'd be upset too.
I'm so concerned about the pig UN dictators getting upset, that I'll play a tune from the world's smallest violin...
Oopah! Toot! Toot! Tweet! Tweet! Ompaomphoompahoompah! Tweet! Tada! Foofaruu! ..I am the walrus! Twodutwodutwodu...Tadadadadada! Gaarumph! Tadadadada!
Enalagodalaveeda, baby...don't you know that I love you...Do! Do! Do! Do!Ooompfa. Toot! Toot...
And just WHAT are these "developing" nations developing into anyway?
Its nearly half a century since most former European colonies were gien their independence.
Sure, there were problems created by the European imperalists - tribes who hated each other thrown into the same national borders, national reasources plundered, no class of educated individuals to take over the control of the government.
But that was 50 YEARS AGO. Since then most of these "developing nations" have decayed into military dictatorships or anarchy. No matter how much aid or assistance is offered or thrown their way is wasted by the military thugs who control the government.
So why the hell do we care anything about these people?
We need more of an America first attitude among our political leaders. I want my President to be Presidnet of America, not of the world. I want us to be self-sufficient, not just in energy, but in foodstuffs and in consumable goods. Then we can tell the rest of the world to go to blazes.

Much better!
