Is there a reason why the US should stay in the UN?

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel will re-assess its ties with the United Nations following the adoption by the Security Council of a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlement building, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The vote was able to pass the 15-member council on Friday because the United States broke with a long-standing approach of diplomatically shielding Israel and did not wield its veto power as it had on many times before - a decision that Netanyahu called "shameful".

Israel should, and probably leave the United Nations. The only thing the UN is united against is Israel and the United States, and bilking all the solvent nations for al of their funding. Can anyone actually name anything positive that the UN has ever done? Stopped or prevented wars? Really? Is there any reason the US even needs to be a member of the UN? Perhaps another Brexit is in order?

We’ve hosted the Un for too long. It’s time for us to get out, and move the stoopid Un to someplace like Saudi Arabia. Let those f-——s pay for it!

The UN should be moved to Paris or Berlin. The US should stay in, attend all of the parties, eat all of the food, but not pay a penny for anything. Let them go broke on their own dime.

How do you account for the fact that the United Nations Charter follows the format of the Russian (USSR) Constitution of 1936 rather than the format of the (Covenant of the) League of Nations? Would you feel there was any significance in the fact that the general secretary for the organization which drew up the charter was Alger Hiss? …

The Naked Communist, Chapter 8
The UN should never have been created. Especially in the form that Hiss molded it in.

In the past there was a reason to have everyone physically meet. Now with instant communications it is outdated. I think the US should leave, kick hem the hell out of the US. Let them financially support themselves.

Alger Hiss, a communist mole in DoS under FDR and HST was the prime mover behind writing the UN Charter and getting them in NYC.

What would be the strategic benefit to leaving? I can think of significant drawbacks to it.
