But for the most part, the U.N. plays a negative part. Its “peacekeeping” forces seem to function mainly as enablers of rape and sexual abuse. Its General Assembly is an anti-Semitic joke. Its Security Council, the source of real power to the extent the U.N. has any power, is an archaic post-World War II arrangement where any positive action (few of which are ever proposed) can be vetoed by Russia. And more often, it is the U.S. vetoing evil resolutions.

The U.N.’s main focus in recent decades has been the Middle East, where it, as typified by UNRWA, has played a generally negative, pro-terrorist role. In areas that should be of higher priority, like Ukraine and China, what has the U.N. done? Nothing. Has the U.N. even acknowledged the Uighers’ slavery, let alone tried to remediate it? Not that I know of.

Then we have the International Court of Justice, a creature of the United Nations, which just a few days ago helpfully “ordered” Israel not to engage in “genocide” in Gaza. Thanks for that input.

So the question naturally arises: why should the United States have anything to do with the U.N.?

[At least, we should be asking why we still host this pit of vipers, terrorists, and thugocrats in New York City. Close Turtle Bay and send them over to Geneva. If we see a strategic value in continuing to participate after relocation, then fine, but don’t spend another dime in funding it. We should focus instead on NATO and build our own multilateral organization based on traditional Western liberal-democracy strategic alliances. — Ed]
