Many of the GOP House members and a few of the GOP Senators are no friend to the United Nations. The reasons for this are myriad and range anywhere from the unconscionable amount of money that the United States contributes to the overall UN budget of $8B a year to its clearly anti-Semitic views and actions. But make no mistake: there are many supporters in our government, both high-ranking Democrats and Republicans, who would rather push back against any and all cuts to the 193-nation body headquartered in New York City.
The sickening facts surrounding the United Nations’ ability to play up to a very compliant Leftist media when it comes to funding are almost too much to bear without losing your dinner. Business Insider, an avid and constant cheerleader for the United Nations, was keen to note that the all of the funding that the United States provides is actually a really good deal!
But when it comes to UN programs — UN peacekeeping in particular — the US already gets a pretty good deal.
US funding for the UN and its agencies adds up to a little over $4.5 billion a year — the cost of about two B-1 bombers — according to an analysis by the Center for Global Development.
US government estimates have also found that relying on UN peacekeepers is beneficial to the American taxpayer.
In Haiti in 2004, a coup prompted the US to deploy military forces to avert a potential refugee crisis. After the initial intervention, the Bush administration convinced the UN to field peacekeepers.
“We estimate that it would cost the United States about twice as much as the United Nations (UN) to conduct a peacekeeping operation similar to the current UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti,” which was called Minustah, the Government Accountability Office wrote in a 2006 report.
Yes, but what else did those “savings” to the U.S. budget get us? Or rather, what did they get Haiti?
Glad you asked!
UN aid workers from Nepal were identified as the source of a cholera outbreak which killed over 10,000 Haitians and sickened hundreds of thousands more. Yet the UN claimed diplomatic immunity and refused to provide compensation.
Wow! Now that’s the kind of quality that money just can’t buy! And in this case, it didn’t!
And now, the United Nations Chief is threatening the United States with the forfeiture of its vote in the General Assembly if it cuts its funding to a point where it is detrimental to the body. Read more about the White House reply to the UN over its threats on the following page.
Richard Bunch Absolutely, repost it on any media you wish. I’d like to share the thought with every corrupt politician in our government. I’d really like to ask President Trump about his thoughts on reply to the post. Hopefully, he would agree.
NWO and UN are dead without USA… dont worry Trump isnt scared… we can cut more money
Kick these Scumbags out of our country
The UN can go pound sand
FUC& the u n !!!!
The U.N. is just moving forward with Hitlers Final Solution in murdering Jews is all.
You would not know the truth if it bit you in the ass
Kick them out of the u.s. they can’t kick us out. We pay most of the money even with the big cut.
Just think what the US could with that money to really help others. Threatening us isn’t a good idea.
Would be the “GREATEST” blessing America has ever received !!!!
