Barbarians works. I prefer to call them “Savages” myself.

If it is going to continue doing things such as putting countries like Iran on the “human rights” council it will continue to have zero credibility as an organization.

The U.N. only has as much potential as the worthless, bloated world governments allow it, which is little to none.

THE UN HAS HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY LENGTH OF TIME TO PROVE ITSELF.

IT HAS TOTALLY FAILED

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Critically Important Speech to Munich Security Conference

February 14, 2026 | Sundance 

Overnight in the USA time zones, Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a very important speech at the Munich Security Conference [3:00am ET].  The video is below [prompted] and a FULL transcription will soon follow Added Below:.

This is a critically worded speech that is very important to listen to with great deliberation.  Within his remarks Rubio is telling Europe that we want to remain allied in our interests, but we are no longer going to allow the system of “globalism” to destroy our uniquely American life.

The United States is separating from the madness; this is not up for debate. The only question is whether Europe is too far gone, or whether they will join us.

The euphoria that followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall,led us to a dangerous delusion.  That we had entered quote the end of history. That every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood. That the rules-based global order, an overused term, would now replace the national interest, and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly.”

The UnitedNazis didn’t merely fail to solve the conflict,
the UnitedNazis were actively promoting, supporting, arming, “legitimizing,” and protecting the Fakestinian terrorist occuption of gaza — as they are in Judea/Samaria

it is a criminal organization that needs to be kicked the H3ll out of USA...we don’t need their bigotry, their amoral filth, or their spies in New York!

UN's ability to solve conflicts

UN's IN-ability to solve conflicts

Here is my advice to POTUS and SECSTATE:

Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US!

ASAP! The sooner, the better!

Essentially the UN is a co-belligerent against the State of Israel during the recent war in Gaza.
