Since I grew up in New York City, and the UN was always viewed by us locals as party central and a pain for the rest of us, snarled traffic, skofflaws double parking not paying tickets.

I always read their claims that they were indispensible to world order and peace.

To me they spent most of their time partying and bashing Jews and Israel.

After all these years, they can’t point to one peacekeeping success. Even the Korean conflict was only made possible because Russia walked of the Security Council making the vote go thru without veto.

In the end Korea is more of a problem today than ever.

Lets not kid ourselves the UN is the biggest collection of Jew haters ever in one place and if bombed it would launch a celebration inside Israel and many places in our country.

“...Abrupt funding cuts can force the adoption of ad hoc measures that will undermine the impact of longer-term reform efforts”

The ad hoc measures are also know as spending no more than we’re willing to give you. “Oh, the horrors!”

"And when we at the UN talk about long term reform we mean....never"

If I were Trump, I would tweet this asshole a one finger salute, and then post these signs on the UN building.

Of bull. The UN is composed primarily of thugs and murdering dictators from communist, third-world shit-holes. If the UN building caught on fire, I’d pour on more gasoline.

Oh, the U.N. whose only business seems to be bashing Israel, accusing Israel of genocide, organizing boycotts of Israel, sending “peacekeepers” to foreign countries to rape their women, and not much of anything else? That U.N.? They can go straight to hell. And the camel they rode in on.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Thursday against an abrupt cut to U.S. funding for the world body, and France's U.N. envoy said a retreat by Washington from global affairs could lead to more instability, not to mention untold millions in unpaid parking tickets!

Why don’t they threaten to move out of New York City to another country if we cut funding them. I’m sure that Cuba or Venezuela would accept the UN.

OMG, really. Reducing funds to an American hating organization is going to endanger world? Or as France’s idiot said the US pulling back from world leadership would cause turmoil. Guess neither of these idiots were awake over the last eight years — that has already happened. Trump is moving the US back in to a leadership role in the world and knows full well that the UN, which is full of dictators, civil rights violators, and American haters, is one of the organizations where we are not getting a good return on our money. And, in fact our money is being used against us.
