Good. Shut it down, and kick them out of the country.
Waste of money spent bashing the US and western culture.
UN Promises Bankruptcy by July Unless Trump Gives Lots of Cash
Deep in mid-winter blues and suffering through never-ending images of shrieking Karens, their soy-boys and the judges and elected officials obstructing the deportation of rapists, fraudsters, and run-of-the-mill 75 IQ illegals, I thought we could use a pick-me-up, a bit of cheerful news. Well, I've got it. The UN is facing bankruptcy. UN operations may cease by the end of February, and the last flabby, underworked UN bureaucrat could receive a final check, assuming it doesn't bounce, in July.
The United Nations said on Friday that it was facing imminent financial collapse and would run out of money by July if countries, namely the United States, did not pay their annual dues that amount to billions of dollars.
Senior U.N. officials said that if the cash ran out, the agency would be forced to shut down its landmark headquarters in New York by August. The U.N. Security Council, a 15-member body responsible for maintaining international peace and stability, convenes its meetings at U.N. headquarters.
It would also have to cancel the annual General Assembly gathering of world leaders held in September and shut the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which responds to global emergencies like conflicts and natural disasters, it sa
How did we get to this state of near nirvana? Part of the story seems to be utter nonsense.
The United States is responsible for about 95 percent of the money owed to the United Nations, about $2.2 billion, according to a senior U.N. official who briefed reporters on the agency’s budget crisis. That amount is a combination of the U.S. annual dues for 2025, which has not been paid, and for 2026, the U.N. official said.
The U.S. paid $1.3 billion to the UN in FY 2025; our dues were $820 million for regular budgeted activities, and the remainder went to all manner of silly and counterproductive silliness. We have not paid the 2026 assessment, but the entire amount has been appropriated. The real problem seems to be one of the UN shooting itself in the foot and then complaining of the pain.
Think about that for a moment. The UN makes a budget; a particular program is not executed, so the entire program's budget must be rebated, even though the money was never collected.
Guterres said a rule that the UN must return unspent money on particular programmes to members if it could not implement a budget created a "double blow" in which it was "expected to give back cash that does not exist".
I'm open to correction on this issue, but I've read at least eight sources, and they all "seem" to say the same thing. The implication is that nations could be rebated even without paying dues.
I think the real bone of contention, and the real reason that virtually all articles harp on the U.S. not paying up when we have only failed to pay for the current fiscal year because those funds have yet to be appropriated by Congress, it because President Trump has decided to cease paying to the worst UN programs and actively killed a UN carbon tax scheme that would have given UN bureaucrats a giant slush fund
