Samantha Power Warns Against Cutting US Funding to UN

US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power on Friday warned that cutting US funding to the United Nations would be “extremely detrimental” to American interests, one week before Donald Trump’s administration takes office.

Addressing her final news conference, Power told reporters that “countries like Russia and China” would benefit from Washington’s reduced standing at the United Nations if funding were withdrawn.

“We lead the world, in part, by leading at the UN,” said Power, who is stepping down next week after four years as President Barack Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations.

You got a problem with Jewish people? I would never wish that on them.

Why not Mogadishu? It is the capital of a broken country with the climate of California, the population density of Kansas and 2000 miles of coastline astride one of the busiest trade routes in the world. Let them show us how to build their multi-cultural utopia by resettling Muslim refugees THERE!

Almost as annoying as her words is her way of delivering them with a haunted expression, like a modern-day Joan of Arc

Yes, she is a leftist ideologue, intoxicated with her own power, prestige, and “intellect”. She openly advocates for the military invasion of Israel to end the supposed genocide against the Palestinian people (Arabs, because there is no Palestinian people). Every time she speaks I cannot help but think of Germany’s excuse for invading the rest of Europe to end the Jewish persecution of European citizens.

According to the Al Jarida report, President Obama wants to be appointed Secretary-General of the United Nations after he leaves the White House, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to thwart his ambitions.


FWIW,

I would support any and all efforts to get 0bama appointed as the UN Secratary general.

Then.

Cut all US funding and kick them out of the US.

And, impose sanctions on any so-called western democracies that continue to fund or remain as members.

The UN would then become a collection of Arab/Communist Nations and a clear line would be drawn for the world to see.

This progressive blivet thinks we want to defund the UN, NPR, federal alphabet agencies, to replace Obamacare—Leviathan.
Heh.
Wrong sweetheart. We want them gone—ashes discharged into the atmosphere, the UN moved to Mozambique or anywhere but here.

They are all meeting in Paris tomorrow to discuss Israel, without Israel. Four days before Trump is inaugurated, wonder what Kerry and 72 other nations will try to pull.

Just like Munich 1938, the Czech delegation wasn't invited.
