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.
Go ahead UN, make my day by saving us billions a year!
U.N. is also a supporter of The New World Order. The want a one world govt.
Fu2
Get out of that shithole. Yeah, I said shithole.
Laurence: Agree with you wholeheartedly. Also feel who cares about so called politically correct? I”ll take truth and sensible answers any day.
Say what you mean, mean what you say. I was never one for sugar coating things. We pay half of their budget and they hate us. But hey, the Eagles won the championship and NASCAR is on the tube . Things are good for now.
The only expulsion will be you and the UN from the US. F’n moron.
The only expulsion that needs doing is the UN leaving US soil!
Money IS the issue. How you use it is the question. The base of the budget being eaten up by the TOP persons in the UN, and their support staff is ridiculous. When these filthy rich living Diplomats heard their way of life just got taken away, they freaked out. Their policies of depopulation is terrible. Babies are afraid to be born if the U.N. knows about it. They are not good Stewards of Budgeting the money they have to make the world a better place. Which is the whole reason for the U.N.’s existence. Not to drain America of its money. Funny how the DOJ suddenly found a billion dollars to put up because of a threat of being called a name on Public Television shows how weak some of our own Government is. If we stuck to our guns, and cut these people off completely that would be the thing to do. Then give them 90days to relocate their Headquarters. America is tired of Diplomatic Immunity creating a legal mess and causing the destruction of some families when a drunk diplomat kills an Innocent person in a DUI accident and they are dead, and he is free to go home drunk off his ass. Pony up UN. WE are done with you and your money vacuum B******T !!!
This is my first time I have commented on the U.N. I should be able to post this…
