Sorry King, I’m in the FLUSH the UN camp, it is unredeemable...FDR’s (rip) ideal was poisoned from the beginning. All that it would take to destroy the UN is total de-funding from the US...no other UN member country gives a crap about anything except their skim.
The UN is NEST of Hate America and enabling our enemies.
Almost all Wars or Programs the UN is heavily involved in results in abject failure or worse. Can you name any UN sucesses?

Have you thought deeply about the consequences of leaving the UN?

No serious Republican/Conservative politician will take the US out of the UN and I hope you understand why. Even if Michael Savage were to be elected President, he wouldn't take the US out of the UN.

You haven't thought deeply about the consequences of America abandoning the international system. Conservatism should be driven by logic not emotion. Sure, it feels good to abandon the UN, but it is not practicable.

If we are out of the UN, with what legitimacy would we deal with China, India or any other nation for that matter. We needed a UN resolution to invade Iraq because we wanted to establish a precedent. If China goes on a rampage tomorrow, we have legal grounds to oppose them.

The strength of America is its moral right. There was a time when America could afford to ignore the World. We ignored the rest of the World at our own peril (WWI and WWII).
