The UNmilitary is so powerful /s

Deport the UN.
Turn the UN building into something more useful ... like a homeless shelter.
Or a dance hall.
spent many a night on Dgar. Mostly drunk, because there wasn’t much else to do there.
Don’t get caught kicking the chickens. The Brits hated that.
Ship it Bahrain. Time to end it
If the UN says we have to give the USA back to the Indians do we have to comply?
What, the Brits don’t like Wild Turkey?
