The United Nations is making a lot of enemies.
Yesterday, when the Obama administration refused to veto a UN vote over Isreal settlements, one which provoked Israel to lash out at the Obama administration saying "friends don't act that way", but more importantly defied Trump who in a previous tweet urged Obama to veto the resolution, the President-elect had one message, or rather tweet, to the UN:
However, Trump is not the only one to hold a prominent grudge against the international organization, which many have accused of being nothing but an ineffective, if material, waste of taxpayer funds: taking Obama's threat several steps further, Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to “burn down” the United Nations headquarters in New York, in response to mounting international criticism over his bloody crackdown on suspected drug dealers.
“You go and file a complaint in the United Nations, I will burn down the United Nations if you want,” Duterte said, quoted by the New York Times. “I will burn it down if I go to America,” he added during a speech at an army base in the country's southern city of Zamboanga.
Earlier in the week, Duterte called Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, a top UN official, an “idiot” and “son of a bitch” after the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights suggested launching an investigation into Duterte's own accounts of killings when he was mayor of Davao City, and the “shocking” number of deaths during the ongoing anti-drug war.
“This guy [Zeid] is ever the joker or crazy,” Duterte said during a televised speech, repeatedly calling him stupid. “You UN officials, sitting there on your asses, we pay you your salaries. You idiot, do not tell me what to do... Who gave you the right?”

I would give those SOBs 1 week to vacate that building.
I’d like to expand a bit.
I would give those SOBs 1 week to vacate that building and then create a world class Veterans medical center out of their former world headquarters.
Sounds like this Duterte is trying to jump the line.
Speaking of issues like that, I wonder if the Obama team will sabotage the White House, like I heard Clinton's people did, such as leaving their personal waste on the floor, and removing the T from the computers? I don't think W Bush made a big deal of it. Trump sure as heck WILL raise cain about it, if they do.
What you described is how academia professionals behave. They still live in the sanitized world of leftist universities where they can act like 10 year olds and get away with it.
I will pretend I didn’t see him do it.
Don't want the Trump's city full of rats bearing diseases or diseased fleas, now do we?
Someone text him the best Google maps route.
Funding? Would American incomes be a factor in that funding? And why would these professional politicians want to belong to an organization that not only colludes against us but always votes against us?
This guy is growing on me...lol.
I would tell them there is anthrax in the building and after sweeping it lock the doors behind them.
Welcome to the party.
Or for Duterte’s plane ticket.
It was far more than a farce. It was a criminal undertaking which supplied Saddam with all the money he needed. France’s Chirac had a car sales deal with Iraq and therefore the French did not support the invasion of Iraq. Illegal commerce was more important and the united Nations was part and parcel of the cover up and palms were greased including the top dog!
