An Insult the US Won't Forget
American Thinker.com ^ | December 21, 2017 | Shoula Romano Horing

On Monday, the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution criticizing the United States’ decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The vote was 14 to 1 and stated that the U.S. decision is null and void and must be rescinded, with only the U.S. voting against it. Under pressure by the Palestinians and Arab and Muslim nations, the president of the UN General Assembly has called an emergency session of the General Assembly for Thursday to consider a resolution similar to the one presented to the Security Council for the sole purpose of condemning the U.S. again.

These 14 countries, including supposed American allies that are supported financially by the U.S., did not mind embarrassing, humiliating, and insulting President Trump on the international stage and challenging U.S. sovereignty. The UN Security Council with its 14 members was trying to interfere and dictate to the U.S. what its foreign policy should be while being hosted by the U.S. on American soil and being supported financially by the generosity of the American taxpayers. These nations chose to vote for and appease Mahmoud Abbas, the corrupt Palestinian leader who was the second in command to the notorious terrorist Yasser Arafat, the financier of Palestinian anti-Israel and American terrorist attacks for decades, a Holocaust denier, and an unelected tyrant, over the leader of the free world.

In forcing the U.S. to use its veto, the other countries emboldened America’s enemies and adversaries by highlighting the isolation the U.S. faces on the world stage. All this on the same day Trump presented his administration ‘s national security strategy. As U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said “what we witnessed here today in the Security Council is an insult.

LOL!

I'm imagining a group of queers in tights on a stage thumbing their nose at President Trump, Alpha Male, who is walking out the door throwing a pair of tights over his shoulder to the ground saying, "Screw you guys - I'm outta here".

Pick out one of these countries and give them a lesson that they won’t soon forget. Which one most relies most on the US and takes large amount of aid from us? Suspend whatever will cause them the most pain.

Cut aid for those who don’t support us. Kick the UN out of New York - I’m sure the citizens there would like that. Just pay our fair share of UN operations which is 1/193 of it’s budget.

No, it is not 'null and void' AND it will not be rescinded.

Do they think they are dealing with Obama?

They ought to defund the UN and then dynamite the building.

We don't need anything hanging around that was initially inspired by the racist Woodrow Wilson.

IIRC, the land was donated by the Rockefeller family and if it’s ever abandoned by the UN it reverts back to them...............

UN priorities:

1. Attack Israel
2. Attack the United States
3. Get rich from graft and corruption


Why are we funding these people?

That’s a fact. Get this worthless criminal enterprise OUT of OUR country, today! At the same time, we need to withdraw ALL funding, support and aid that we have foolishly forked over to these reprobates since it’s inception. Enough is enough!

FTUN!

Have you seen what flats are going for in Manhattan, especially prime locations like that? The architecture is pretty nice if you like mid-century international modern. I’m sure the hipsters would eat it up, residing there. That is, if they can get the asbestos and bedbugs (among other bugs) out of it to make it safe for residential habitation.

Japan is one of the members who voted against us. What do we do to them? Pull our forces out?

If there is any question to the validity of your brilliant statement, I suggest that those feckless turds send some of their baby blue helmets into our area and see how they fare. Oh. I would also suggest that they bring their own body bags. They will be needing them.

Dear UN,

Please translate this Eviction Notice into all the relevant languages of your Member States:

“You have 90 days to vacate your offices in the US. We recommend you begin seeking new facilities in Brussels, Geneva, Paris, Nairobi, Tehran or Gaza. UN personnel other than US staff also will have 90 days to pay outstanding parking tickets. Failure to pay will result in denial of airline boarding passes. You may leave the US by non-motorized ground transport via Canada or Mexico. Have a nice day.”

Apparently, prior to the vote, Mr. Trump threatened to cut off financial aid to the countries which supported this resolution. I hope he follows through on that threat.

YES!!!

You can’t buy friends, but you can most certainly buy ingratitude and contempt.

And we have purchased that in spades.

The UN is the most evil organization in the world- a bunch of tyrants using the west to establish a status quo. Most of these nations should no longer exist in the 21st century and would not without the UN propping them up.
