The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private meeting, briefed reporters Wednesday on the 25% reduction in peacekeepers worldwide as the United States, the largest U.N. donor, makes changes to align with President Donald Trump's “America First” vision.

Rwanda anyone? Syria? Ukraine? Israel October 7th 2023? Iran nukes? Memphis?
The UN has a piss poor track record when it comes to "peace keeping". The most memorable
thing they ever accomplished was bringing a cholera epidemic to Haiti. Thanks for nothing.
Don’t they mean UN “raping force and operations?”
Fewer kids getting roasted over fires.
We have learned that the UN was in Israel. The problem is that they were attacking Israel alongside the Palestinians.
You beat me to it
In this case, women and children not hardest hit.
Given that the UN has done didly-squat about anything during its entire sordid and wasteful existence, I scarcely give a shi...er...give a Dorkbama about anything associated with that incompetent bunch.
