In her speech at the emergency vote, Haley noted that the “United States is by far the single largest contributor to the United Nations and its agencies.”

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, “we’ll 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. What’s 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.

I have long advocated that the "UN" Headquarters be relocated to Port Au Prince, Haiti or a similar location which could benefit from a HUGE boost in their economy! Of course, the staffing of the "UN" would be greatly diminished as a result... (AND NYC would have FAR less parking problems!)
