Trump warns he'll cut aid to U.N. members over Jerusalem vote

Trump threatens to cut aid to U.N. members over Jerusalem vote

Will the bully tactics work? I think not..and every dollar that Trump withholds will further isolate the US from influence. Those dollars everyone seems to think are wasted..are our guarantee of influence in those countries...I see it as win/win--we keep our money..and the rest of the world weens itself off of American influence and learns how to go their own way. Trump may well get his way..but he should be careful what he wishes for...once the world wakes up to the fact that they can do without the US..and form economic alliances that do not benefit the US...could be hard to rein them back in.


"U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft United Nations resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We'll save a lot. We don't care," Trump told reporters at the White House.
The 193-member U.N. General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday — at the request of Arab and Muslim countries — to vote on a draft resolution, which was vetoed by the United States on Monday in the 15-member U.N. Security Council.
The remaining 14 Security Council members voted in favor of the Egyptian-drafted resolution, which did not specifically mention the United States or Trump but which expressed "deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem."
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a letter to dozens of U.N. states on Tuesday seen by Reuters, warned that Trump had asked her to "report back on those countries who voted against us."
She bluntly echoed that call in a Twitter post: "The U.S. will be taking names."
Several senior diplomats said Haley's warning was unlikely to change many votes in the General Assembly, where such direct, public threats are rare.
Miroslav Lajcak, president of the General Assembly, declined to comment on Trump's remarks, but added: "It's the right and responsibility of member states to express their views.""

Not a secret I'm not a Trump fan--but I do see this as a legitimate policy..just not necessarily a good one. Bullying is not always a bad thing--I just am not sure that Trump has thought this one out. I'm far from a Globalist..but we do need the markets..and have expended a lot of time and treasure to ensure we have them. China is licking its lips..hoping to step into our shoes.

As far as Israel is concerned..they'd be the first I'd stop giving stuff to--I'm tired of being played by that country.

 

[iceberg]

they wouldn't be the first but they'd be on the list somewhere.

 

[Two Thumbs]

GOOD!


We are long overdue to either take charge of the shithole or leave it.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Look, the initial idea for the UN made sense. If it had been the permanent members and a handful of other minor actors, it would make more sense to me. Now, it's just one big political ball where every socialist scratches each others backs and looks for ways to burn their taxpayers cash. A global socialist system which wants a global government.

As I've mentioned before, just go look at the names in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), check out the countries, it's an insult. I know first hand by the way, as I contacted them regarding the abuses my wife and I experienced at the hands of the police agencies in Canada. I had one quick interaction with them, and then they got back to me...two and a half years later!

Why is that? Canada is the most complained against nation on earth to the UN, and the UN does not like that. The global sweetheart they need to leverage to try and turn American into a socialist hellhole has to be above reproach. They have embarrassed themselves and their role.

America should cut funding to the UN. They should cut off some of the "relations" they have with nations like Canada who exploit America. The fake dossier from Fusion GPS was handed to McCain by a British spy on Canadian soil, you can be sure the RCMP and CSIS were aware of this. This is not the action of an ally. They should finally stand up to the nations of the world who abuse America, its about bloody time.

Much of the UN don't run their nations well, they put their citizens in danger, they interfere in their lives, they take money and criminals from bad actor states, and now, they tell a sovereign nation where they should have their embassy and what they can recognize? The same nation that is the overwhelming funder of the UN? They have their hands out and take whatever cash is given, just as FIFA has done and were caught, thanks to the efforts of the FBI (yet again).

These nations have become far more like China than they have become more like America. Maybe they should consider their own decisions that have created global threats to America and others.

God Bless America! Get 'er done Trump!

Played? Exactly how have we been "played"?

Don't worry if you cannot answer! Most anti-Semites cannot!

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Lol..you again..****chuckles***

I'm not an anti-Semite..I'm just not Pro Israel--the two are not synonymous.

As for being played..well..for a guy who claims a working knowledgfe of history..it is a strange question. From the very inception of Israel..they have played us...with the willing cooperation of many in business and govt.--to be sure.

But..what exactly do we get from our 'Special relationship' with Israel? Not much....they go their own way pretty much...and are more part of the problem than part of the solution.

Business with Israel..should be cash on the barrel..and no freebies.

On that basis..I have no issue doing business with Israel.

But...they are not our friend...we are just an asset to them..a cow to be milked.

UN has its uses and this is one of them. Keeping the Jewish controlled US government from destroying the fucking world with such idiotic decisions such as this.

You answered. Good for you! Unfortunately your answer was simply mounds and mounds of bullshit trying to cover your true intent. It's very hard to counter an argument when all you provide is bullshit.

Seems clear enough to me..and honest. Not sure what would meet your needs...30 paragraphs of polemic mixed with historical citing and footnotes? Not going to happen..why would I put in the work? I've learned about these political sites..and the folks who post here..I put in the work..and you dismiss it, right? No real point--you can Google as well as I.

I have no 'true intent' to be discerned. You don't have to counter..you could just agree...LoL!

You can't even provide a link to one of your lies because you didn't post anything! Gotcha!

That's some really weak-ass opinions you have there. It's easy to sit back and pontificate and tell everyone, "You know what I mean" when you didn't say anything."

I would get essays written by my students like that a great deal if they had no clue as to what they were supposed to discuss. I guess you never got out of the habit.

If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. That's great M.O. you have there.

 

[9thIDdoc]

Great! "Foreign Aid" is-and always has been-an idiotic waste of taxpayer money. And that is especially true of a nation in debt and with needy and deserving citizens of it's own. America first.

 

[BluesLegend]

President Trump gives lesser countries a lesson in big stack poker play.

 

[BlindBoo]

Yes I'm sure the US military industrial complex would like a say in how much foreign aid gets cut. I bet some of those big donors runs those companies. But it make for great bravado for the rubes.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

President Trump shows leadership and it's the kind of leadership we like.

Not giving someone money is now “bullying tactics”?

My God you people are deranged.

It’s perfectly fine for the entire U.N. to bully Israel by trying to dictate to them where their capital can be, as well as how they deal with Islamic barbarian terrorists. But not giving countries free money is over the line.

Liberal logic.
