    This is an encouraging sign that the end of US involvement in the UN is nigh. That's what Trump wants anyway.

    Yep, the way he is acting certainly says that. Check out though that the 1st and 3rd Country getting aid are both ones attacked by the US. Expensive business destroying countries

    Right, and he has a lot of support. It would seem to make many nations happy.

    A new organization should be established whereby only democracies are permitted membership. Having third world kleptocrats having a say in world affairs is nonsense.

    EXactly
    the kind of ham fisted, knee jerk we have come to expect from the Idiots
    in Washington. Let the World SEE clearly the color of Washington's Disease
    .............................................................................................................naked threat that's all it has as a Foreign Policy


    In this case we can not only expect it, we can hope for it, as such a move will only
    serve to widen the Crack that is already becoming evident between .America and

    .........................................................................its sycophantic European allies

    :cheerleader:GO GO FRUMP !!!
    :banana::applause: quit the UN before the UN throws you out and
    ............................................................................................ you have to use your VETO again
    :mrgreen:

    Clearly - Israel does NOT want Peace, it wants Land - and the bought & paid for
    .............American Government will support any measures that move to that end

    The peoples of the World have spoken - They are finally fed up with the Israeli Oppression
    and Intransigence regarding the BRUTAL occupation & repression of the Palestinian people
    ................................................................as it has been conducted for over half a century.

    A
    merican threats are now seen to be insufficient to force the people's continued silence

    , US foreign aid was $50.1 billion in "16, Israel received $3.15 billion or 6.3%

    5 of the top 6 countries receiving US aid are muslim nations.

    Not encouraging but for sure Trump wants the US out of the UN. I suspect he also wants to throw the UN out of the US and turn their headquarters into one of his sleazy hotels.

    The US quitting the UN would be good for Europe, Asia and the rest of the World
    .....................being chained to a country so corrupt that it looses 21 Trillion Dollar$
    ......................................is like being chained to a Corpse that is starting to STINK

    America leaves the UN , Israel will have to go - So much the easier
    .to treat these scofflaw rogue nations as the pariahs that they are


    And how many Nations do you think would even want to join your THREAT ruled club ?
    THEY JUST VOTED AGAINST YOU EN-MASS, For Christ's Sake !! -- UR:deadhorse:

    His hotels are certainly not 'sleazy'. You've probably never been inside one.

    Why not condos? Extra tax dollars for the city.

    Oh well, kick UN out of US and you will have a nice compound in New York for business [UN headquarters can move to Switzerland].

    And ... how much does UN cost to US tax payers? What do US tax payers get as counterpart? Car traffic problems in NY?

    Shame on Canada who have more or less admitted folding to the pressure of the classroom threat. But other than that a resounding slap in the face.

    Maybe, but national debt is different in a number of respects. A growing number of nations now settle their trade, or sell their oil and gas, specifically excluding dollars - and there are well established plans in place to operate a non US dollar reserve currency in the near future. The day will arrive when the holders of foreign dollars will greatly diminish and then US Treasuries will be in deadly danger of default.

    You can only keep the plates spinning on poles for so long before they all come crashing down.

    shame on the US for behaving like a tyrant. No nation has to bend to the US threats. Each nation has its own dignity and makes its own decisions .. Democracy still rules in most nations. AND the UN. Has the US lost its diplomatic skills?? there are only a few countries that resort to thetas......and they are frowned on. .(and they are not a democracy)

    Thanks to Mr. Trump ... sorry, but in my opinion he does not deserve the honorable title of President of the USA ... has finally made it to make the US in the whole world look like a ridiculous idiot and Clown .. and many US People cheer to it what says much about intelligence maybe!

    First, he does not give a **** about every resolution and every agreement in the matter concerning Jerusalem and the status and now that the world is outraged against it, he plays the offended child!

    Trump has really managed to make the US accept less and less as an important factor in the world. As a respectable partner and ally you can not look at them for a year already.

    Amerca First is on the way, that Trump is going, to end up in an America Alone ... because no one on this planet can still trust Washington anymore! And do you actually need the USA? Well .. for what actually in the end?

    Thanks to Trump, NATO has realized that the US is no longer a reliable partner.
    Europe has learned not to trust the US is in the end!
    Russia and China have once again been declared to be enemies by the US!
    Trump has now kicked the Muslim part of the planet in the ass!
    Africa did and does not interest the USA as usuall really!
    Mexico was offended by Trump and is for sure loving him for it!
    And the rest of South and Middle America is thanks to US colonial policies of the last 50 years more Anti American!

    Who is left loving or even only respecting the USA in the world? Ehm ... well!

    This is exactly why secret voting is more democratic. Open voting is good for security council. Because there the sides which are always to ruin the world can notify openly that some decision is making them extremely nervous. But in the UN secret votes are much better, because even an ally can vote against the side without spoiling relations. UN definitely needs reforms. Why not this?

    Ah yes, the Marshalls, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau, "traditional" adversaries of the Palestinian cause...

    I think Canada abstaining was a bit cowardly, but most observers thought it would have normally voted along the US... Because NAFTA, you see... I will have to pull some pride out of this cowardice.

    I always was amazed at the fact that you guys want to get rid of a tool you made, that served you, and in which you have one of the six permanent seats. It's not enough, I suppose. I imagine what would be acceptable is a UN where the US somehow owns 51% of all the seats, am I right?

    Once you're there, do also get rid of NATO - you are much stronger all alone! Allies just slow you down.

    The US is a democracy? But but but Hillary got more votes... Force is to admit that the US wouldn't be part of this new, much better alliance, mmmhh?

    Anyway, may I suggest the "the Superleague" as a name? Think about it: The US, Israel, Honduras, Guatemala, the Marshall islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo, The Best nations of all time together, speaking with an equal voice, fighting evil. Humanity's best and last hope.

    Sorry, but I get a laugh now ...

    The UN was implemented by the US after WW-2 and now, when something happens what makes the US governemnt and their followers unhappy with the UN, it should be ended and a new, more comfortable issue should be founded?

    How rediculous is this please? The UN was and is not an international Instrument of US foreign politics and rules of the UN have to be followed by the USA too - Point!
