The United Nations (UN) is facing its “worst cash crisis” in nearly a decade because almost one-third of its member states have not paid their annual dues, according to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Speaking in front of the UN’s budget-setting Fifth Committee on Tuesday, Guterres said the situation was so desperate that last month’s General Assembly in New York was only possible because of emergency spending cuts made earlier in the year.

“The organization is facing a severe financial crisis,” Guterres said.

“To be more specific, a severe liquidity crisis. The equation is simple: without cash, the budget cannot be properly implemented.”

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in a statement published Tuesday that, by the end of September, member states had paid only 70% of the total assessment for the regular budget.

“Vacant posts cannot be filled, travel will be limited to essential travel only, meetings may have to be canceled or deferred.”

Guterres also warned that the situation would not only impact operations in the main hubs of New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, but also regional commissions.

Since the UN is now a Muslim platform, why should the USA pay for them?

The Republicans should propose that the millions of dollars the U.S. wastes on that anti-American UN sh*thole be reallocated to construction of the wall at the Mexican border.

She’ll have a fund-raiser, a show in a farmer’s barn, with tap dancing and screeching and everything.

I hope these assholes fold..

[MrEdd]

Almost right.
A wall is also needed on our northern border, the border between Alaska and Canada, and extensively beef up the coastguard including on our island states and territories.

Considering that prime Manhattan location, it’s a toss up for me whether me tear it down and build anew, or do some kind of adaptive reuse. I tend to favor the former.

We can re-purpose it into something useful - like waterfront condos.

Praise God (YHVH)!!!

Those are wonderful ideas. Seriously though, wouldn't the U.N. Building make a great condo tower? Well, except for NYC taxes...

That’s true. But the Rockefeller Bros’ descendants will kick in some elbow grease for the Deepers and Demos to keep the ruse going...

Here are some slogans for the fundraiser drive.

Support the UN. The morally handicapped need money, too.

Support the UN. What if world peace broke out, and we weren’t around to claim credit for it.

Support the UN. We have diplomatic immunity, so you don’t want to p!ss us off. We’ve taken hostages.

Support the UN. There are bloodbaths that must be allowed to continue.

Support the UN. Israel must be stopped!

Support the UN. Strongly worded letters must be written.

Support the UN. We’re the UN. Support us.

[Eleutheria5]

Support the UN. If we can’t go to third world countries, the next child we diddle might be yours.

[Eleutheria5]

Support the UN. Snowden’s right, and we know where you live.

Her expressions are absolutely demonic, and I’m not just trying to be descriptive. This girl is demon-possessed.

[Eleutheria5]

She sacrificed Pippi Longstocking to her dark lord.

[Kriggerel]

I guess they can no longer manage to maintain their hate-boner for Israel? :P
