Haley announces $285M cut in 2018-19 UN operating budget

[ColonelAngus]

The wars stopped by the UN never make the news.

They will now.

Why shouldn't the UN meet in Switzerland and members pay according to population?

What specifically would be bad about that arrangement?

Exactly....there is nothing.

So,

 

[rightwinger]

The wars stopped by the UN never make the news.

Let Trump go to war without UN support

Lets see how far he goes. He won't have a seat on the UN Security Council anymore

Trump doesn't want war. It is your side of the aisle howling for blood.


Also, there is no mechanism for the UN to deprive the US of a seat. Any attempted change could be vetoed by US.

Let him tell it to Lil Rocket Man

Trump seems to be leading us to a UN exit and his supporters love it (just read this thread)

Hold the UN accountable for their shitty actions is hardly the same as an UN exit.


My point stands. Your side has been putting political pressure on him for a more aggressive foreign policy since BEFORE he was in office.

So....voting against something the US did was a "shitty action" ?

Given the number of nations that condemned us......Looks like Trump engaged in a shitty action

Or maybe they are just pandering to the violent arab mob.

All of them?

Except for Togo and Honduras?

From the article:

“The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out in this assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” Haley told member nations ahead of their vote.

Every time any nation takes a given action or makes a statement to a given effect/end, it does so in the exercise of its rights as a sovereign nation. The U.S. and all other nations, in turn, voice their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with that nation's words/deeds. The U.S. government took a position, and the remaining nations of the world have voiced their dissatisfaction with that position as is their right. Trump, in response has opted to throw a temper tantrum borne of vengeful, "might makes right," American exceptionalist dejectedness. Trite, vulgar and typical as Trump is wont to be.

They have that right, but they have no right to our money

We should get what we pay for....their obedience.

"Obedience?" Tell me you're joking.

This administration backs up their shit..

Another leftwing sacred cow being hit....about fucking time!

Should have hit much harder. But this is the biannual payments, so... 6 months from now, if they don't figure out who's calling the shots; a deeper cut will be in order...

Uh .... hey goobers... the $285MM is a 0.5% cut to the UN's entire budget, not a cut to US spending.

Oh do explain, we are giving them $285 million less, how is that not a cut to our spending?

Its a start. We all know who bankrolls the UN, and who puts the bite, in its bark. Some folks needed reminding...

Apparently you need reminding of the facts of an article you pretend to have read, but clearly did not.

The US contributes 22% of the UN budget. That's proportionally less than the next top contributors, as far as proportion to the size of its economy. Japan's GDP is less than 1/4th that of the US, yet they contribute about half as much to the UN's funding as does the US.

what is it about libtards that do with proportionality. We don't care, We give them by far the most AMOUNT of money........who cares about percentage of economy?

yeah, it's just a start, but it lets people know things are different.
In fact 2 other countries have already said they are moving embassies to Jerusalem

They like our cash

yep, they do, and the good thing is once we move, and then these couple others do, the rest will follow, we are actually leading again....about time

True, my bad, I thought it was for 6 months......still I'm ok with it.....

I didn't know we pressured them to cut $600 additional from the peacekeeping budget......Trump is gonna get rid of the bloated crap as well.......this is awesome.

 

[Lewdog]

"Obedience?" Tell me you're joking.

Of course!

All other countries should let the U.S. pick out all the hottest women from their countries too for arranged marriages! The U.S. also should be allowed to bury our trash in their countries as well, especially nuclear waste.

 

[buckeye45_73]

gotta be DIVISIVE when dealing with enemies in my opinion Rosie .

is it ok to name "enemies" ??? uhm----in this forum????

ISIS, PLO, Hezbola, Syria, Iran

As for the Jew haters, some are friends, but they need to get their heads out of their asses...but they'll be chilling in Jerusalem with us, in due time.

Conform and be successful. Isn't that your motto?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Hell yes!

Cut that Spending!

We can save about $4 Billion by cutting the EPA budget in half.

We can save 15 times that much by cutting the DOD budget by a measly 10%

So let the rest of the world catch up to the US in military strength.

First, 10% will not get the rest of the world even close. (see below)

Second, our military is not underfunded, it is misused and mismanaged. The Army alone made a 2.8 trillion dollar fake adjustment to their books to give the appearance of the books being balanced, in just one quarter last year. If any other agency under the Fed Govt had such things going on would you just advocate just throwing more money at them?

How about we hold the DOD accountable just like people want to do with the rest of the government. Is that too much to ask?

A wholly misleading chart. How many of those other seven nations have the security of the entire world thrust upon their shoulders?


I would agree to a 10% cut in the military as long as you agree that we should fully and permanently pull out of NATO and any responsibility for Western Europe.

Nothing was thrust upon the US, we gladly took it as our way of trying to control the world.

We do not need to leave NATO but I am all for pulling all our troops out of Europe. Station them along the southern border and there is no need for a stupid fucking wall.

We don't do arranged marriages, those primitive cultures you defend do that stupid shit. As for trash, why not, these people owe us money.....pay or we use you like a hefty bag.
