"But what they use for peace keepers, resembles the "F" Troop more than soldiers trained to keep the peace. Maybe instead of blue helmets, they should have been yellow - for obvious reasons."
I don't like the UN. Have I mentioned this before? Maybe a few dozen times. So let me say it a bit stronger. I have a strong antipathy towards this rag-tag collection of useless PC cowards. Stronger message to follow. We all know the history. After World War I, which everyone thought was "the Great War", we established the League of Nations to ensure this type of war would NEVER happen again. We all know how that worked out.
World War II spelled the demise for the feckless League of Nations. After the war was over, the United Nations was formed. Why? To ensure this type of war would NEVER happen again. The United Nations was going to be the global peace keeper. However, since the dawn of the United Nations, we have seen many wars, a protracted Cold War which took us to the edge of a nuclear showdown, torture, genocide and on and on and on. The UN does however, know how to social engineer. The UN's publication Agenda 21 is proof positive of that.
Today our President is going to address the UN. Supposedly, he is going to "lay down the law" about North Korea. Plus the Iran "non-treaty". What do I hope he is going to say? Do your job. Right now, you are about as useless as ice cubes at the North Pole. And what gives us the right to tell the UN all this? We have every right to scold the UN. We pay the lion's share of annual dues - about $8B a year. And - we are the landlord to this organization.
Can you imagine a world without the UN? I can. It would look ---- a lot like this one. The UN is so ineffective, so feckless, if it went away nobody would notice. That is, except the progressives. We could turn the former UN building into a nice office tower or a upscale hotel. But Bird! Who would write all those resolutions when a country (like the Norks) misbehaves? Nobody. The UN resolutions which are written today are only good for fish wrap, fire starter or toilet paper.
I am hoping that our President tells this esteemed group of bureaucrats this is their final warning. Become relevant, or we are pulling the plug. Do your job, live up to your charter, or leave. If the UN was truly interested in world peace, they would not only be taking the Norks to the woodshed, but also any nation (China, Russia) who help the Norks through the back door. The UN would mandate an embargo, a blockade, or whatever it takes to get the Norks to disarm. But no, they (like Obama) just write nasty letters and wag their fingers.
What about the peace keepers should the UN go away? If the UN really had peace keepers, they would be missed. But what they use for peace keepers, resembles "F" Troop more than soldiers trained to keep the peace. Maybe instead of blue helmets, they should use yellow - for obvious reasons.
Great Blog, I hope 45 gives them hell today.
ReplyDeleteThe UN member states are ineffective as a group because:
1 They have different priorities
2 They have fundamentally different interests
3 Sometimes they simply don’t care
Very similar to the US Congress.
When you look at the UN website for the Department of Economic Affairs, even a snowflake like me wants to vomit. What a crock of self serving crap.
If we had the will, we would stop funding this outfit, end it's lease in NY and send them back to Brussels where they belong.
But, like everything else, we don't have the will, because it would be political suicide.
I just wish 45 would decide he only wants 1 term in office.
Just think what he could accomplish if he was off the leash.
Very well presented speech by 45 to the UN. Covered a lot of ground, while taking the high road most of the time.
