Congress is already planning to cut the UN's funding in response to the Security Council vote declaring some Israeli settlements to be illegal, but many say Congress should not just defund the UN but get the U.S. out.

Ah...perhaps the UN pushed too far and ignored a more nuanced approach.

It’s beginning to look like maybe just maybe Obama f**cked up on this one. Doing this when Trump is taking over in three weeks seems like a bad miscalculation. It really gives Trump ammo to go after the UN. Had he done this 2 years ago he would have much more control of the fallout. Yes, he is getting his last shots and in but I’m sure he’s wanted a screw Israel like that this for a long time. I only say maybe because he still has the slavish MSM running his spin on this so we’ll see.

If they do that, how else will the world’s dictators get influence outside of their own countries?

UN is a club of teapot dictators telling us what we have to do. Pull out and dissolve it.

This is so easy.

The US withdraws from the UN and convinces its allies in the Anglosphere (except the traitorous New Zealanders) to follow. Israel and a handful of G-20 and non G-20 nations would also follow.

Withdraw visas and diplomatic immunity for all UN employees. Serve them notice they are no longer welcome anywhere in the civilized world. The UN would whither and die in two years.

Trump doesn’t need ammo to get the UN. All he need do is veto every action and resolution of the Security Council and it effectively ceases to be

Of course substantial curtailment of funding is also good but that must have a Congressional stamp to be truly meaningful
