UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief is warning that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues — a message likely directed at the United States and the billions it owes. ......President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the United Nations has potential but has not lived up to it. His administration has withdrawn from U.N. organizations like the World Health Organization and the cultural agency UNESCO, while pulling funding from dozens of others....

Long overdue. Much like the EU negotiating with the IMF for a bail out. We can only hope the UN, EU, and even NATO " go away", forever.

President Trump is just the man to " make it so".

A bit of good news.

How can I help it collapse faster?

[blackdog]

Is it a promise?

[butlerweave]

Anyone do a audit of the UN to see who’s pocket all that money ends up in ?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Is there anything we Americans can do to speed up the process? Our taxpayer dollars are already being used to fund every freeloading, subhuman on the planet.

Urgent

Do they mean without the US propping them up?

We can make a long standing problem truly go away by actually doing nothing?

Just don’t do anything, and it will be over?

That, my fine-feathered Friends, is MAGA on a roll.

I’m not seeing the problem here.

Bummer. How about consolidate and move out of the Manhattan location

Best news of the month and that will be the case through February 28

[MurrietaMadman]

Good riddance to bad trash.

How about a 50% pay cut for everyone working there for starters?

[bray]

One less enemy of the United States.

You know another way that the UN could stave off financial collapse? Have the staff stop taking private planes and fly coach. Stop staying in luxury hotels. Stop paying exorbitant prices to send teams of UN staff to useless conferences. Stop spending a fortune on UN furniture and art. Use Zoom instead of flying around the world to luxury locations for meetings. Cut staff by about 50% and make the remainder of the staff actually work. Get rid of useless committees. If the UN did this, it could live well within its current income.
