If you have to keep your eyes and ears on your enemies and frienemies alike, and your finger on the pulse of their posturing as well as troop movements, as we do, it's easier and cheaper just to invite their representatives over and corral them into one place, like we do.

This is what the UN in NY does for us.

They're not bothering us, they're making the job easier.

I have to ask: How about we take names and then cut off all funding and other assistance to those who piss and moan about our actions???

We are by far, the largest giver of funds and other assistance to that steaming shit pile called the UN. Some time ago I saw some numbers that indicated that there are well more than 100 nations that do not give a dime to the UN.

Not that I want the UN to flourish! Far from it. My position is quite simple. Get the USA out of the UN, and the UN out of the USA!

And the sooner the quicker.

It's no surprise that the God Damn Commie newspaper of record, the NYT's, has ZERO mention / coverage of Haley's shot across the bow at the U.N. anywhere on their home-page today. Nada.

A search does reveal that there is content somewhere on their web-site, but it's an AP release and not by a NYT reporter.

The GDC's have their heads shoved so far up their ignorant asses that they are not going to see or hear the Trump Train when it runs over them for good!

The US made an announcement with which the rest of the world universally disagrees.

The answer is to demand that the rest of the world not enter a non-binding resolution stating that the US has acted improperly, and to state that anyone signing this resolution is subject to having their "name taken."

Agree with us, or else.

It doesn't get much more immature than that. Especially for a nation which is built on the premise of free speech.

Either you can't take a hint, or you're trolling this forum. Either way, its not going to end how you want.

You are not to post in any political threads in this forum, and if you don't like that, you can leave altogether.

Next time you dare to show your face in any political thread to give your weak opinion, I'm removing you that very same minute. If you think I'm kidding, post again in this thread and find out.

There is no expiration on this condition, and if you think I'm going to forget about it down the road, and you're gonna grace us with more of your ignorant spew about politics, well baby, you'd better guess again.

And, again- if you don't like this, then you can just leave right now. No one around here- least of all me- wants to listen to your ignorant leftist shit.

So the US shouldn't have 'free speech'?

What kind of asinine argument are you making?

The US has given foreign aid to countries with no strings attached for decades. It's time for that to end. Why should the US continue to give financial aid to countries who think they can tell us what to do...Or do you think the US should just go along with the tyrants and dictators of the world?

Trump Threatens To Cut Aid To U.N. Members Over Jerusalem Vote
US News & World Report, 12/20/2017

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednsday threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft United Nations resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The 193-member U.N. General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday - at the request of Arab and Muslim countries - to vote on a draft resolution, which was vetoed by the United States on Monday in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.

If not mistaken and since this is the U.N. Security Council...any nay vote by one of the permanent members (btw we’re one of those) kills any resolution brought before the council. So FU everyone and we have your name now!

Yes, the US already killed the binding Security Council resolution. This is a non-binding resolution from the entire General Assembly, much like a worthless Congressional censure.

I keep hearing how the US has “declared” Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. Who the fuck are we to declare another country’s capital for them?

News flash, we “declared” no such thing, ISRAEL designated Jerusalem as it’s capital we have simply finally gotten around to recognizing their decision. How does any country have a say in deciding another country’s capital? What if China decided to recognize LA as our capital instead of DC? Fucking ridiculous...

This isn’t new, we just ain’t putting up with the rest of the worlds anti-Semetic BS anymore.

Fuck the UN, we pay billions of dollars to countries that hate us, I really don’t see the point when they will hate us just the same for free.

Go Nikki!

I honestly cannot recall what the U.N. Has ever done for America. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. If I'm right, the time for them to pack up is now.

The United Nations has voted to condemn the United States for officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel, with plans to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to the city.
