‘No sane country would stand for this’: Lawmakers launch effort to withdraw US from UN

We created a union of our own, and it works very well for us.

I don’t they realize the size of the US as compared to Europe, both economically and geographically. Yes, CA and Texas are indeed part of a union. Surviving on their own would be difficult.
 
I would like another nation to host.
Why is the UN in New York?
American hubris. We are not special. Let another nation host.
Disgusting to be so conceited that you think another country cannot host the UN and all the nations cannot pay for it.
We are poor. $36 trillion in debt, We need to cut expenses,
Brussels seems like a good spot for the UN building.
 
The UN never prevented a war

world war has been prevented by nukes
The United Nations (UN) has helped end conflicts in many countries, but it hasn't prevented all wars. The UN has been involved in more than 70 peacekeeping operations around the world.

How has the UN helped end conflicts?
  • Mediation
    The UN has helped negotiate peace settlements in countries like El Salvador, Guatemala, and Cambodia.

  • Peacekeeping
    The UN has helped maintain ceasefires and stabilize situations in countries like Namibia, Mozambique, and Tajikistan.

  • Political transitions
    The UN has helped support political transitions and build new state institutions.

UN peacekeeping history
  • The UN's first peacekeeping mission was in 1948 to monitor the Armistice Agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

  • UN peacekeeping has evolved over time to meet the needs of different conflicts.

  • UN peacekeeping operations have included traditional methods of dispute resolution, as well as more forceful action.

  • UN peacekeepers have served in dangerous conditions, and their service has inspired hope for millions of people.

Current UN peacekeeping missions
As of January 21, 2025, there are 12 current UN peacekeeping missions.
 

Republican lawmakers have launched an effort to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations, amid concern that the international humanitarian and human rights organization fails to promote American interests and align with President Donald Trump’s "America First" agenda.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced legislation Thursday called the Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle Act of 2025, which would terminate U.S. membership in the U.N. and its affiliated bodies, and funding to those groups. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is co-sponsoring the measure in the upper chamber.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is poised to introduce the measure in the House Friday, claiming that the U.N. and its bodies don’t advance the interests of Americans.

"The United Nations has devolved into a platform for tyrants and a venue to attack America and her allies," Lee said in a Thursday statement to Fox News Digital. "We should stop paying for it. As President Trump revolutionizes our foreign policy by putting America first, we should withdraw from this sham organization and prioritize real alliances that keep our country safe and prosperous."

The U.S. provides more funding than any other country to the U.N., donating more than $18 billion in 2022, according to the U.S. foreign policy think tank the Council on Foreign Relations. That makes up roughly a third of the U.N.’s entire collective budget.

"The United Nations has enjoyed American tax money while often undermining our interests, attacking our allies and bolstering our adversaries," Roy said in a Thursday statement to Fox News Digital.

"What has the United Nations achieved?" Roy said. "Despite all of the money and the attention, this corrupt globalist organization has, for decades, failed to prevent wars, genocides, human rights violations and even pandemics."

I think this has been part of the plan all along and could easily transfer over to NATO.....Two birds with one stone if you will.

If Trump or SecDef came out and said, 'we want out of the UN' everyone would balk at us bailing on them, and how short sighted we are and how we are really Russia's ally, etc.

Instead, allow the Euro weenies with their angst and short memories do it for us.

We keep demanding they pay into defense while at the same time refusing to do their shit for them.

In the process they get offended and from their moral high ground of faux superiority, they basically start doing some real dumb shit, threaten to remove us, or tell us to leave.

Well, those terms are acceptable. ;)
The UN just isn't a good business model anymore. We have five countries which have veto power so, basically nothing gets done unless all five of those countries agree. On top of that, the UN is infested with terrorists who are against Israel.
