    Liberal seem to love the wonderful United Nations. The US has given them untold Billions. Now that Russia has invaded the Ukraine, where the hell is the UN, where the hell is our UN ambassador? Why isnt that worthless debating society forcing Russia out of Ukraine??

    IMO the billions we have given the UN is just money down the drain. Tell us libs why do you love the UN so much????

    As a political science major in college i had to take a course named "politics 302" which was all about the UN charter.
    I advise that you acquire and read this charter it is not very long and you will get an idea of what UN is and how it works.

    All of our billions got us a big head... full of hot air. :icon_clueless:


    P.S. but their one saving grace is the UN Health Organization. It helps in the fight against global epidemics and diseases. :bandaid:

    Withdrawing from international relations is hardly the best way to handle international deadlock.

    Withdrawing from the UN doesn't equal withdrawing from international relations......

    Our UN ambassador haws been working with the UN on this, and a cursory glance at the news reveals such info.

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/03/03/samantha-power-address-to-united-nations-on-ukraine/

    I find it amazing that such comments are made without the benefit of a brief amount of research.

    Withdrawing from the Un is not withdrawing from all relations we can have international relations without the UN.

    In fact I think the point is we can have better relations without the UN.

    Another liberal touting words on a page instead of real world empirical evidence
    pull your head out of your butt and stop with your theories and words on a page and look around words and actions are not the same thing and very seldom do they concur.
    College is a waste of time if all they teach you is what things should be, the intentions. and not the real results of those intentions

    The UN has become nothing more than a tyrants' protective society.


    "...Russia has not invaded Ukraine."

    Taxcutter asks:
    Spetznaz in Sevastopol is not a Russian invasion?

    I am not for withdrawing from the United Nations.

    What I AM for, however, is moving the entire United Nations headquarters out of New York City and out of the United States altogether.

    The entire lot of blow-hards and feckless bureaucrats can go set up shop in Amsterdam or Zurich as far as I am concerned.
    And good riddance.

    (And to those who would quickly criticize such sentiments, I say, "Show me the tangible, credible, productive output of the UN. Demonstrate to me their worth, and what their value-added is here in the 21st century".)

    The UN won't do a thing about this. Europe won't do a damn thing in fear of Russia cutting off the gas. Cowards

    His post had more substance than yours. He said to go read something to learn something. You just posted the same boring cliched claptrap that everyone who wants to blame their problems on liberals says. Way to go! How original! A testament to your obviously enlightened state of being. Do share more, you sir are a beacon of knowledge and insight for us all.

    logical1: "IMO the billions we have given the UN is just money down the drain. Tell us libs why do you love the UN so much????"

    By funneling billions of dollars through the UN to buy peace, your President has kept America safe. Is that not worth billions of dollars?

    International treaties are words on paper and theories?
    Education is a funny thing, it makes you stand out from the high school level popolo .

    The UN was built with consolidated power in mind, a permanent sit in UNSC gives you enough leverage to influence global matters or not letting others do the same if this is what you are after. If you are feeling adventurous and you want to find out how important UN is for those who control it i will give you a clue so you can dive into sparse material , conspiracy theories and hard facts : What do Miguel de la Madrid , Olof Palme , Julius Nyerere and Indira Gandhi had in common other that none of them died of old age?

    then there would have never been a ww2 now would there if all you go by words on a page?
    so ww2 never happened because a treaty kept it from happening

    It withdraws you from an international forum where everybody can work stuff out together. The UN doesn't actually have any power but what it does do is make the actions and decisions of various countries publicly well-known, so we can hold them accountable.
