You’re talking about an organization that had a real Nazi, in Kurt Waldheim, as Secretary-General.

The Useless Numbnuts has become a parody of itself and they are not even smart enough to even realize it. We should have left that clown car organization 20 years ago. It has become an absolutely powerless joke.

“Iran will take the chair of a United Nations human rights social forum on Thursday,...”
Uh, that’s like Joe Biden taking over the presidency of Mensa.
Does anyone out there having greater than one digit IQ respect any of the slime currently leading Iran - the state of hate?

Time to leave the UN, kick them out of their digs in NYC, and repurpose the building after a thorough fumigation.

Killing women for not wearing the hijab is fine with the UN.

Killing guys is ok depending on what country you live in?

Without the UN we could have had a Gulf War, followup wars in the Gulf, Afghanistan, a major conflict in Ukraine, Arab country terrorist rockets sent into Israel and atrocities by Hamas in October.

Oh, wait....

UN out of the US
US out of the UN
