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 $4.5 billion a year — the cost of about two B-1 bombers — according to an analysis by the Center for Global Development.
US government estimates have also found that relying on UN peacekeepers is beneficial to the American taxpayer.
In Haiti in 2004, a coup prompted the US to deploy military forces to avert a potential refugee crisis. After the initial intervention, the Bush administration convinced the UN to field peacekeepers.
“We estimate that it would cost the United States about twice as much as the United Nations (UN) to conduct a peacekeeping operation similar to the current UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti,” which was called Minustah, the Government Accountability Office wrote in a 2006 report.
Yes, but what else did those “savings” to the U.S. budget get us? Or rather, what did they get Haiti?
Glad you asked!
UN aid workers from Nepal were identified as the source of a cholera outbreak which killed over 10,000 Haitians and sickened hundreds of thousands more. Yet the UN claimed diplomatic immunity and refused to provide compensation.
Wow! Now that’s the kind of quality that money just can’t buy! And in this case, it didn’t!
And now, the United Nations Chief is threatening the United States with the forfeiture of its vote in the General Assembly if it cuts its funding to a point where it is detrimental to the body. Read more about the White House reply to the UN over its threats on the following page.
F U UN just like your name UN nothing !!! Bring it blue helmets make great target$#%&!@*holes!!!
Let’s leave first !
screw the UN
wont happen. they need the free dough.
Go ahead. Threaten us. Then when all US money and support is pulled deal with the consequences of your idiotic, self destructive actions. I predict that once the US is no longer involved, and your lease canceled and you are evicted from US soil, that other nations will follow suit in defunding this no longer useful bundle of pathetic political tools you will beg for our support again, but you will not get it.
Please do us the favor of kicking us out of your worthless hypocritical organization. Then get the hell out of our counrty and pay your own bills!
Please expel us; you’d be doing us a huge favor!!! And after you expel us, get out of our country!!
Usually, a threat involves an action that the threatened party does not want. You missed the mark here. At least conservatives would love to be out of the UN, and take our money with us.
Any attempt to remove our PRESIDENT will result in on e hell of a war. And remember- The MAJORITY of people who voted for President Trump are gun owners, and VETERANS, and we KNOW how to fight. And we will respect NO RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, so there will be no end to our fight… Blue helmets make pretty targets… And our loads may NOT be “Geneva Compliant”, nor will our tactics. Americans refined guerilla tactics… And the PEOPLE will NOT refrain form using them against any outside influence should we need to.
Please oh please oh please kick us out…we’ll take our buildings back and all our money, then send you all packing. Please make this happen.
