Good idea? Maybe on a scratch pad someplace.

Or a sophomore dorm room after a dozen bong hits.

The UN morphed into a piggy bank for its crooked leaders and finally into the UM...United Muslims.

It was never a good idea...just a front for a scam.

The presumption is that it was a “good” idea, ... I am not so sure.

Mid-wifed by Wilson, its became an obsession with FDR, so much so that he gave away the store to the Russians, who outsmarted him especially at Yalta in his declining health. As I study more of this, I am tending to think FDR would have been outsmarted if he were in robust health. He was delusional to think if the UK and US could assure the Russians that we had good intentions and they would be secure after the war, they would just settle the geopolitical map according to FDR charismatic wishes.

UN has been a failure overall, and I formed that opinion at age 20 when I paid my own money and toured it. When I walked into the building, I had a positive view of it because of youthful ignorance based on UNICEF. Since then, as I have gained knowledge, my impression formed at age 20 still stands - it is useless.

League of Nations —> United Nations, any attempt at a world government was and is never a good idea. We are saddled with the damned thing in our time, but I wish we could dump the whole monstrosity.

So much globalism, cronyism, grifting and anti-Westernism in the UN, the fact that we are a member deeply insults me.
