I wonder what country pays the second highest assessment and what percentage it pays.

[Thumper1960]

I hear tell those blue helmets are a corrupt and nasty bunch who do little in terms of “peacekeeping”.

[BuffaloJack]

Why are we paying anything to the UN.
They hate us.
Kick them out.

China’s economy just surpassed America’s economy.

Why doesn’t China pay more than America in UN dues?

[Da Coyote]

Eff the U.N. and the turd with wheels it rode in on.

[Olog-hai]

How about we just decimate the whole communistic UN, Mr. Soyboy?

[KarlInOhio]

Throw the UN out of the US, disassemble their HQ and use it for a section of the wall.

Then build Trump Turtle Bay Resort at its former location.

""If Congress does not act to fully pay the U.S. assessment, a number of countries that contribute troops to UN peacekeeping will either not be paid or see their contributions slashed, the ability of the UN to service existing peacekeeping missions will be compromised, and the lives of civilians will be threatened.""

Gee, that's too bad.

“”If Congress does not act to fully pay the U.S. assessment, a number of countries that contribute troops to UN peacekeeping will either not be paid or see their contributions slashed, the ability of the UN to service existing peacekeeping missions will be compromised, and the lives of civilians will be threatened.”

LOL

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. If we can’t afford to secure our own nation, the UN can shove it.

‘Every time I see those blue helmets, I think of Nostradamas and his prediction about warning about the blue helmets. Silly, probably, but gives me the shivers.

[digger48]

Why do I get the feeling that Afghanistan and Kenya aren’t exactly up to date on their payments either?

[JPJones]

“The U.S. will now pay 27.8% of all UN peacekeeping costs instead of the current 28.4% rate”

Well F$%^ that.

[Olog-hai]

Where does India find $1.3 billion for this abomination?

[Sasparilla]

...build Trump Turtle Bay Resort at its former location...

It might be more cost effective to turn the existing building into condos.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I wonder if any US citizen has told them to eat dog feces with a dirty fork lately or am I the first?

[Captain7seas]

We were called a “deadbeat nation” back in the 90’s when the UN was crying about us not paying our share.

Then the facts came out that the UN actually owed us over $3 billion.

You get to be an important member of the club...on other people's money. US Secretary of State John Kerry and US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power at a top level meeting at UN Headquarters.
