The USA doesn't need the UN. The USA either has a hand or a gun barrel in most parts of the world. If it suits their needs. Paws

your right...we dont need them...i personaly dont even recognize them....ill put it this way....
lets say you let someone move in to your home.....you pay 20% of their bills and give them some manpower as well.....now lets say this same guest openlu insults you in your own living room...tells you how to run your home.....tells you you dont do enough to help them....makes friends with and aids your enemies...and when you ask them to do dishes or help in some way they refuse....you'd probably throw them out right?

basicly....their headquarters are on our soil in N.Y. we fund 20% of their needs....they constantlly tell us how bad we are as a nation...if we go to them for help, we hit brick walls....and they actively sympathize with ppl like iran, syria, north korea etc.

When the UN stops allowing known hostile countries as permanent members, enforces the rules of engagement across the board, and gets someone in charge that has a clue.. I may back them.

Until then, they're a group of countries that don't listen to each other, like to argue, and try to pass 'official' decisions that never help a damn thing. As a summary, I'm going to go with a foe/joke combo, super-sized.

As I said in another thread...Most people here in the US know that the UN is a joke. How many people have actually gone into the UN and listened to the BS that flies around in the sessions they hold.

My ex-stepfather used to work security for the UN and while he worked there I was able to see and hear some of those sessions that were held. Now granted that was in the mid to late 80's but still. What goes on is more comic relief than anything else.

You have all these representatives from all over the world and they are supposed to be there to accomplish peace talks, trade, etc etc. The only thing I ever saw and heard was at best a fighting pep rally. One country saying I want this that and the other thing and another country turns around and says well we have that but you aren't getting it from us.

It's like a school yard with all the bullies telling the kids that always get picked on "nani nani boo boo, I have it and you can't" The UN is a very sad joke unfortunately.
