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.
Great, that saves Trump the hassle of withdrawing us from the racist UN. Talking about biting the hand that feeds you!
GET OFF OUR LAWN
Go ahead! Do it! We can use the building for something better!
To HELL with the UN!!!!
USA needs to expelled UN.
UN when will you realize you, need us, we dont need you. You cut out our vote, we stop funding you altogether, and we say bye, bye. Leave our country. YOU are not and have never been or never will be OUR BOSS. Get over yourself, you exist because of the grace of America. Knock off your demands or may be we will knock you out of country once and for all. You are and have been a joke for a long time. Maybe its time you went the way of the dinosaur.
The UN has no authority in the USA!
To the UN. The American public has called to leave the UN for decades. If you were listening to Obama, you were wrong. The American people will never agree to a One World Order. The UN does nothing for the United States. We support leaving the UN. As far as Congress goes, they will be gone soon enough. We know how crooked they are.
Good
P**s on the whole bunch, send them all home and turn the building into apartments for the poor and street people and the homeless VETs
