I don’t recognize the legal standing for the U.N. here.

It has no land. It has no citizens. It has no tax base. It cannot make up a military out of its citizens, because it doesn’t have any.

It has a GNP of $0.00.

It’s not an enterprise where constituents vote to approve of what it does. It doesn’t have any.

It does whatever the hell it wants to, and it spends most of it’s time attacking the United States, trying to hobble it, get it under control, and change it from a Constitutional Representative Republic.

It spends too much time trashing us for being racist, anti Leftist global warming adherents, and much more...

The U. N. can go straight to hell.

The UN is still at war with North Korea. The situation has existed since the 1953 truce that ended the fighting

America has no dealings with the truce other than officially through the UN. I think that the UN and the Norks still hold talk s at Panmunjom

(I’m pretty sure)

The U.N. isn’t at war with anyone. It doesn’t have any citizens with which to wage war.

Members of nations around the world may be, but the U.N. is a vapor trail.

It declares itself “the body” to negotiate these things, but look at it’s success rates.

I has a very lousy track record.

With North Korea alone, it has allowed a declared war to exist since 1953. A truce is not a formal agreement that war no longer exists.

The U.N. likes to claim it keeps the peace. It has prominent peacekeeping rolls in the Middle-East. Let’s look at one of them.

In Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah has armed it region to the teeth. This was done under the watch of the U.N. All the U. N. did was give Hezbollah cover.

Israel was kept from entering the area to prevent the arming on it’s border, while the U. N. looked the other way while Hezbollah brought in massive stockpiles of weapons and armaments.

The U. N.’s peacekeeping forces are as well known for raping children as feeding them.

Further, who is actually feeding people around the world? the U.N.?

No, the United States and other nations provide food, water, vaccines, and funding for all these programs. The U.N. provides NOTHING ON ITS OWN. NOTHING!

I submit the world would be a lot better off, if the U.N. underwriting were done away with, and nations round the planet converted their membership fees to direct food, water, vaccines, and housing provision.

The U.N. burns hundreds of billions of not more, paying it’s staff, keeping it’s entities open, and trashing sovereign nations with a ferve targeted as some of the worst nations on planet earth.

A Libyan in charge of their global terrorism commiteed, pre the exit of Qaddafi? Really? Yes.

It needs to be ended.

Fortunately, we have the UN calvary riding to our rescue. Man, that was a close one.

WHEEEEEEE. Sanctions got us the Hydrogen Bomb and ICBMs. If you arm hurts when you move it around— DONT move it around. This is laughable. This is pablum for the masses while we avert our gaze. The problem is we risk millions of AMERICAN lives on a lie!!

Well, I kinda agree.

This almost guarantees Kim will launch another missile very soon, doesn’t it?
What’s the U.N. going to do THEN? More speeches? More sanctions?

I don’t even think THEY think there’s any point in this.

This is all crap for the masses to delude people into thinking the government is actually doing something when they are not doing what needs to be done. This is tantamount to putting the oil embargo on Japan before they hit Pearl Harbor. It is strangely similar. I really hope Trump snaps out of this” deer in the headlights” pretty damned quick.

What is left to levy a sanction against?

This dance has been going on for years.
