Cut off aid? Now.
I’d like to point out that America’s “special” friend Great Britain voted against America here. Germany and France voted against America too, but that’s to be expected.
I would have thought that Britain would have at least abstained. But maybe they don’t want to provoke any more stabbings.
Send a memo to the countries who voted against the US: Your country has received $xxxxxxxxxx in foreign aid over the last 10 years. Could you explain in less than 500 words why that aid should continue?
Aid is given, she added, in order to advance our values and our interests. When that happens, our participation in the United Nations produces great good for the world. The United States does this because it represents who we are. It is our American way.
But, Haley said, well be honest with you. When we make generous contributions to the U.N., we also have a legitimate expectation that our good will is recognized and respected. When a nation is singled out for attack in this organization, that nation is disrespected. Whats more, that nation is asked to pay for the privilege of being disrespected.
I really like her speech. Putting the UN on notice.
Personally I'd like to see the United States pull out and kick the UN offshore, building and all.
Didn’t Obummer vote ‘present’ a lot during his tenure as a United States Senator?
Why are sending aid to these nations in the first place?
Maybe I am wrong but Nikki Haley is knocking it out of the park.
It’s time to show some of these so called ‘nations’, many of them controlled by despot criminal leaders and criminal political organizations where there bread is buttered and who’s buttering it. Cut them off and let them enjoy life without the billions in US aid that they line their pockets with.
Anyone know how Slovenia voted?
Aid to all offending countries should be stopped immediately. Let them come back hat-in-hand to justify why they should get one more cent from us.
If we decide to resume aid, there should be strings. One of them being NEVER try to embarrass us in public again. If you must abstain, so be it, but if you vote against us in public again on a matter such as this, the spigot will be shut off and it will never be turned on as long as your regime is in power.
And that will be the start of demonstrations of our displeasure.
Although I have bad-mouthed her frequently, she seems to be executing Trumpian philosophy at the U.N. perfectly...
