What has the United Nations ever done for any country. Why does America pay $8 billion a year to keep it going. Peacekeepers ride around in blue vehicles but they never fight anyone or do anything. Recently a story about South Sudan troops attacking a hotel and raping all the woman for 5 hours while the UN Peacekeepers would not help.

The UN is a sham and a fraud, the US should have gotten out years ago.

That's what I'm saying the UN hasn't helped anyone seems to be a big waste of money. Even the bombing of Yugoslavia by Bill Clinton was never approved by the UN.

UN does a great job of dumping thousands of Muslims posing as refugees across the US.

It's akin to releasing the Carp into the Great Lakes.

And the only place/organization on the planet where all countries can meet to discuss the worlds problems is the UN. How could anyone want to abolish the only place on the planet where all countries can meet to discuss important issues?
