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.
Trump will tell them to “Pound Sand” and if they don’t like it to get the hell out of the USA. They’re mostly against us anyway and should be relocated to some 3rd World Country where they belong……
Tell the UN chief to go to hell
No vote no money!and the amount that’s being given is way to much! my opinion is we would be better of to get out of it.
Isn’t it strange that the UN has 16 Peacekeeping missions and you never hear about any of them. Why is it that the USA pays over half of the cost of the UN. The article says there are 193 member nations, but why are our cost so high? Then, to top it off, the UN wants to be in charge of the World (One World Government). What a joke! They’ve been in Haiti how many years and intend to stay longer. Just how bad can it be in that little bitty place? Seems like every one that has “tried to help” Haiti, raped them and didn’t bother kissing them. Red Cross and the Clintons stole from them, reports stated that the UN soldiers abused the young girls, and I read that their children disappeared all the time.
The UN is now a Muslim organization. It’s run by Muslims, has Muslims on the Human Rights committee and you never see the UN respond to any of the Muslim mass murderings. They are too busy attacking Israel. Last time I heard they had 27 complaints against them and only America and a few others defended them. If you want a Muslim dominated World, just support the UN and you’ll have it.
Let the UN get by with all the cry babies paying for it. That should work really well.
There was a plan to build a United Nations facility on an island in the middle of an Ocean initially. It should be reconsidered for security purposes, stop spying, stop potential spread of disease, and to stop the whining. Obviously,other countries would no longer depend on the US to pay all the expenses, and would have to pay their fair share. Attitudes change when there is a stake in the game.
The U.N. needs to go. They are an invader. The U.N. Building in N.Y.C. Should be used to help veterans. Overdue for cutting the line off with the U.N. They should never been let in the U.S.
