US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power on Friday warned that cutting US funding to the United Nations would be “extremely detrimental” to American interests, one week before Donald Trump’s administration takes office.

Addressing her final news conference, Power told reporters that “countries like Russia and China” would benefit from Washington’s reduced standing at the United Nations if funding were withdrawn.

“We lead the world, in part, by leading at the UN,” said Power, who is stepping down next week after four years as President Barack Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations.

“Except she is the the type who says “American Interests” but means Globalist interests.”

Yup...hitting the nail on head...

Typical LIBERAL garbage.

The UN does not even acknowledge our presence .. and all they do is take our money and ignore everything we say.

WHY ARE WE WASTING OUR MONEY ON ANOTHER FAILED LIBERAL ADVENTURE.

“Destroy Israel and tax us for global warming and take away our guns.”

The attack on Israel looks more likely every day....

I expected it between the election and inauguration day while do nothing Obama is president. Every day the signs increase.

Samantha, You and the UN looked the other way as genocide was happening in the middle east. Hundreds of thousands of Christians and other groups were slaughtered under your watch. I don’t believe that you or the UN have earned our trust and certainly not worthy of our money.

Sorry, Christians are not a protected class apparently. But say something negative about moose limbs——————you’re in trouble deep.

The UN, today, exists solely to implement the globalist agenda. To the detriment of the USA. So, she can go pound sand.

UN Ambassador Samantha Power is working hard to move up on the list of people in the Traitorobama kakistocracy who need to be indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and hanged for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The average US citizen doesn’t know we pay 25% of UN budget and even higher percent of peace keeping budget. At a minimum we should half those numbers immediately to force the UN to make major cuts or get others to anti up.
