SHOCK Report: The United Nations Is Now On The Brink Of Financial Collapse

From the FAR RIGHT, super BASED.....Economist?

I'm pinching myself to wake up.

With overwhelming glee each time it doesn't happen.

On May 5th the UN will brief members on a previously unreported $600m (17%) cut to its $3.7bn budget aimed at avoiding default this year. It will include a hiring freeze while officials consider further savings that a Western diplomat describes as “moving jobs from New York to Nairobi”.

Yet it may not be enough. A combination of deadbeat members and mad budget rules have led to a liquidity crisis. Now, a leaked White House memo proposing that America stop paying its mandatory contributions threatens a financial crash in the citadel of peace and security.

Last year the UN had a $200m cash shortfall, despite spending only 90% of its planned budget. This year will be much worse. Internal modelling suggests that the year-end cash deficit will, without cuts, probably blow out to $1.1bn, leaving the UN without money to pay salaries and suppliers by September.

Most UN funding, such as for bodies providing humanitarian food or shelter, is voluntary, but the core functions are paid for through mandatory dues, linked to the size of members’ economies. These core functions include General Assembly meetings, peacekeeping and human-rights monitoring. In a letter seen by The Economist that Mr Guterres sent to members in February, he warned that the peacekeeping budget to pay for troops may run dry by mid-year.

The UN could run out of cash within months

I bet that there is a lot of corruption in the UN.

Only in RWNJ lalaland is this considered winning.

I like good news.

We love freedom.

We abhor authoritarianism.

We believe in a sovereign America.

And non-interventionist peace through strength.

These days?

Your kind would fit in more with the Republican party of 2003 than you would with the Democrat party of the 90s.

You've fallen so far, you're abused and lied to by your television again and again - and you don't even see it.

I suppose your desperate, innate need to be RIGHT - just once - to finally get one over on MAGA is what does it.

And it has you settling for illusory short term propagandized "victories" only to come crashing back to earth a bit harder each time the real World intrudes on your BS self-imposed bubble.

It's like a junkie who keeps shooting up but has worse and worse withdrawals each time.

I pity you.

Interesting that reasonable experts in the "Economist" get labeled "far right" while left wing junk like "Politico" gets a pass.

You mean we might not hear anymore heartbreaking speeches from Greta Von Iceberg?

Sounds good to me. It is useless. Maybe they will move out of New York. I understand that building has great office space.

Um.

You may want to have a rethink on your entire political perception.

It was sarcasm bro.

Not anymore unless you like Islam.

Is it true that Brussels is becoming in majority Muslim?

Answer (1 of 9): Yes, probably. Is Brussels mostly Muslim? No. Is it turning increasingly Muslim? Yes, absolutely, but of course you’ll meet people, like in the previous replies, who deny this obvious fact and even think it is potentially “xenophobic” to state something as patently true as this. ...

It's - lamentably - happening to virtually every European city.

And, ironically, it's been largely at the UN's behest.

Low rent housing by 2031.

Turn the UN Building into a homeless shelter.

And let the UN pay for it.
