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like Russia and China” would benefit from Washington’s reduced standing at the United Nations if funding were withdrawn.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.

You got a problem with Jewish people? I would never wish that on them.

Nope.

The UN.

I figure after the first 100 or so palestinian terror attacks on senior UN personnel, the survivors might start to see a glimmer of the light.

Still, Mogadishu has its merits...

I see your point re: Senior UN personnel, but think you seriously overestimate their intelligence and capacity to learn. Not that it wouldn't be fun to try.

As for Mogadishu, the Pallies who just can't live with Jews should be the first group relocated to that newly created multicultural paradise. And give China a 50 year mandate to govern it.
