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.
Imagine New York with no UN presence. Imagine the UN with no US funding. The Palestinians would be in a world of hurt without the UN backing they have thrived on.
It’s time for the US to pull out of the UN. It would be a joke without our tax payer money. Let’s watch how many countries leave right behind us too. Tax payer money funds a lot of the world and it needs to stop.
Ok …will take it! Now get the Fu*k out America!!
UN Cheif you’re a fruitcake and a communist
Hospital for veterans!!!
Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. Tired of taxpayer money supporting people trying to degrade us to Third World country. PS they forgot to add The cost of the building and everything else in the US that the UN gets for free.
Amen
Just pull all funding and kick them out! They are no threat to us, unless we let them!
Talk about expulsion, you fuckers will be looking for a new place to extort money if you don’t watch your mouths
The hell with the UN! Kick them the hell out of America! Thank God for President Trump!
