The 7 Worst Things The UN Has Ever Done
Way back when fading "I Like Ike" bumper stickers were still on cars, little dino was taught in school that the UN was being formed to stop wars by negotiating peace.
Yeah, like that has really worked out well.
Snippet from the 7 worst things listed article~
"Staffed by dictators and tyrants, the UN has ignored some of the worst atrocities in the world, (etc).--"
Here's my happy Trump administration act of congress dino dream on the subject at hand~
The USA gets out of the UN and kicks that despicable organization out of our country.
Now what to do with that building?
Somehow hosting such things as hosting science fiction and comic book conventions strikes me as somehow appropriate.

The writer repeatedly criticizes the UN for what it hasn't done, and I conclude he/she wants the UN to be an even bigger meddling bunch of looters than they are, but the writer just wants them to stop meddling with Israel.
Like the UN, this article isn't worth the bandwidth it wastes.
Close down the UN. Prosecute Obama for treason (and for fraud regarding his birth.) Reverse everything he did as president.
Author, read some Ayn Rand.
Multiple three millions thrown about everywhere.
Why should anyone even freaking care?

Personally, I believe that if the Allosaur eats a stegosaur and rests under a giant gingko for a nap, he will awaken in an enlightened state...

~and we still give money away to other counties.
How does that make any freaking sense?
(Historical note: It was $!9,948-plus when I wrote this)
First, i think the US tax payers should no longer be required to support Israel's fat asses with foreign aid. After 6 decades and $233.7 billion, (http://www.wrmea.org/congress-u.s.-ai...) they should by now no longer need that much susidizing. As we would say in the South, "we didn't take you to raise." At this point it would seem the main thrust is from the US military-industrial complex which wants to sell weaponry to all sides in the Middle-East (and complain about Russian competition)
The UN General Assembly is basically an effieght club that talks a lot, but doesn't get much done. The main power lies with the security council--most specifically its five permanent members: China, Russia, France, UK and US. Israel uses the US as its surrogate in that we have our noses so far up Israel's ass, we can smell the pastrami.
Anyway, if the UN really wanted to (and had any real power), regarding Israel gradually usurping Palastinian lands, they could settle the issue by saying that the border is officially the 1967 line and
the Arab portion of Israel population (20%) are Israeli-Arabs while any Jews on the other side of the line are Palistinian Jews, with both subject to the laws of their respective countries. Sounds overly simplistic, but it might work--at least as well as other cockamamy ideas so far.
Seeking Justice From the UN for Haiti’s 700,000 Cholera Victims
by Fran Quigley
The announcement by the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti was only a slight exaggeration: “Everyone Tells UN to Fulfill Its Legal Obligations to Haiti Cholera Victims.”
The statement referred to those who signed on to amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs asking the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals to allow a class action claim by Haiti cholera victims to go forward. And the list does seem to encompass nearly “everyone” that has an interest in justice and the rule of law, in Haiti and beyond: human rights experts, Haitian-American leaders, constitutional law scholars, and even a line-up of former UN officials.
All are calling for justice for victims of the 2010 epidemic triggered by human waste recklessly discharged from a UN base in rural Haiti. The death toll stands at a shocking 9,000; over 700,000 more have been sickened.
the first place. I agree with allosaur--we should get
out of it, and throw it out of this country.
South Koreans make dang good movies for a good reflection of their culture. Learned that via Netflix rentals.
Funding it with nearly $3 million a year as an abominable waste.
Same goes for some national level regulatory departments that states should handle. The EPA is the first that comes to mind.
As I said above, it is not in the interests of the USA to foot the bill for the UN. However, being a member, especially on the Security Council, is in the interests of the USA.
And, again, the root of the problem is the lack of philosophy, but that failure is ours first, as the government of the USA has been a weak advocate for a consistent understanding of human rights. In fact, ironically enough, Eleanor Roosevelt was probably a more consistent champion than our representatives since.
BTW I read The Fearful Master by G. Edward Griffin about 1966. So, I understand the problems with the UN.
