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

[Missourian]

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.

How'd those UN Peacekeeper work out for Rwanda?

Bunch of fuckin' blue helmeted pussies.

NATO us butthurt. We refuse the heavy lifting this time. They know if they push to hard here we may just throw our shit down and leave.

Time for all of them to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

 

[Concerned American]

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,

Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US

 

[kyzr]

Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US

The US pays about a quarter of the UN budget. That needs to end.

How Much Does the U.S. Contribute to the UN?

Many UN agencies, programs, and missions receive crucial funding from the United States. In his second administration, President Trump is again calling for greater scrutiny of U.S. funding and involv…

The United States today remains the largest donor to the United Nations. It contributed close to $13 billion in 2023, accounting for more than a quarter of funding for the body’s collective budget.

Widespread killing, rape, disease and war make Democratic Republic of Congo hell on earth

Fighting by Islamic State and other terrorist groups over minerals and power has led to widespread killings and rape in the DRC. Disease, child slavery and Christian persecution stalk the population.

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

FIRST ON FOX: The legislation would terminate U.S. membership in the United Nations and its affiliated bodies, and funding to those groups.

www.foxnews.com

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.

So the US would no longer have a vote, no longer be able to veto UN resolutions against Israel, that's great, absolutely fantastic news. Please close the door on your way out.

Of course we would still have a vote.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Oh so the US wants to fight the world, let me think, where I heard that before...

Today Greenland, tomorrow the World !

I suppose Trump would Pay Putin to vote for the USA

My message is simple. We support Israel whether the world likes it or not. FAFO

Who cares. The UN is corrupt.

Who cares, you make your bed and you sleep in it.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Who cares. The UN is corrupt.

The US is out of touch with almost every other nation on earth, get inline or get sidelined, that's the choice you face.

The UN is based on democracy, one nation one vote, either be democratic or get lost.

 

[westwall]

The US is out of touch with almost every other nation on earth, get inline or get sidelined, that's the choice you face.

Funny how you ignore the crime that follows every UN outpost.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Funny how you ignore the crime that follows every UN outpost.

Funny how you can't stay on topic.

 

[westwall]

Funny how you can't stay on topic.

I am, the UN is a corrupt organization. It makes horrible decisions. Its peacekeepers aided and abetted the Rwandan massacre of almost a million people.

It has been aiding and abetting terrorists all over the world for decades.

It's members engage in mass sexual assault in almost every country they are deployed.

It needs to be destroyed.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

I am, the UN is a corrupt organization.

Meaning the US can't control it.

It makes horrible decisions.

No, the members make the decisions, every resolution is voted for democratically, so again no wonder the US doesn't like the decisions.

Its peacekeepers aided and abetted the Rwandan massacre of almost a million people.

The US voted for them to be there.

It has been aiding and abetting terrorists all over the world for decades.

Again "it" is simply the collective decision of the member states in a democratic vote.

It's members engage in mass sexual assault in almost every country they are deployed.

Please show me a US initiated resolution complaining about that claim.

It needs to be destroyed.

Zeig Heil.

Try reading out of your echo chamber.

Corrupt members vote together...shocking. That doesn't make their decisions legal, or ethical.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Try reading out of your echo chamber.

Yes, facts do upset you don't they, would you prefer lies? most republican do these days.

Corrupt members vote together...shocking.

So do honest countries.

That doesn't make their decisions legal, or ethical.

The UN defines international law, only corrupt countries complain about law...shocking.

Anyway let me know if the US grows a pair and leaves the UN, I'll go and get the popcorn

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

The US has also been a regular non-payer of UN fees, owing US$2.8 billion in early 2025. And it is one of the lowest contribtuors of military and police personnel to UN peacekeeping operations, despite paying nearly 27% of the overall budget.

Elon Musk thinks the US should leave the UN – what if Trump does it?

There is a long history of calls for the US to abandon the United Nations, and Trump has already turned the old world order on its head.
