UNITED NATIONS — The American ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, issued a stark warning on Friday to allies and rivals abroad, saying in her first remarks at the headquarters of the world body that the Trump administration would hold to account those who do not back the United States.

“You’re going to see a change in the way we do business,” Ms. Haley said. “Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N., and the way we’ll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back as well.”

“For those who don’t have our back,” she added, “we’re taking names; we will make points to respond to that accordingly.”

Excellent! This is exactly what we need -- stand up for the US, not let the UN push us around.

Good!

Trump’s re-attached America’s balls.

I don’t like her over the Dixie flag ordeal, but this is a good sign.

Dear UN,

Trump’s here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And he’s all out of bubble gum.

Signed, The Deplorables

America First..... period.

I agree with you on both counts.

Someone call Graham and tell him his former governor knows what “America First” means. He should ask her to explain it to him.

She projects strength and a willingness to put our interests first, which are important attributes when dealing with the UN weasels.

Good strategy. My guess is that Haley was coached by warfare professionals from West Point. As Sun Tzu wrote, “Which of the… sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?” Haley, please has the foresight to observe which countries have the Moral Law and an appreciation for the US Constitution and then which countries do not.

Nikki has been my governor and I will tell you flat-out -—SHE ROCKS!

Excellent!

Sounds like both a threat AND a promise.
