The UN is an anachronism. It is still living in the immediate post WWII period. It is funded by just a relatively few countries, mainly the US (22%), Japan (19.5%), Germany (8.7%), UK (6.1%), France (6%), Italy (4.9%), and Canada (2.8%), which accounts for 70% of the total regular funding. The US pays even more of the peacekeeping budget (27%).

China (2.1%) and Russia (1.1%) are permanent members of the Security Council with a veto and Japan and German are not. Yet, efforts for reform are being blocked by those who contribute just a few percent of the resources. This is a joke. The UN needs to be reformed from top to bottom. It is a corrupt, bloated organization that unfortunately, has assumed the status, according to the Dems, of the moral authority over our foreign policy, which requires the UN imprimatur.
