Perhaps most distressing in this matter is that a goodly amount of those hundreds of millions or billions will be used to undermine America, American sponsored projects & activities, and to work on whatever the latest plan is to bilk America out of existence by granting the UN taxing authority and/or ability to collect taxes from carbon credit trading, undersea ventures, and so much more.
Once the UN has a lucrative funding stream independent of member nations’ oversight. In situations where no member nation can object to the spending of their dues for any project or activity, the UN can act unilaterally on any issue it (or the adversarial 142 member states who decide to stick it to the gullible Americans once again), bureaucrats at the UN will push their global socialist agenda no matter how much America protests.
It is ironic the very nation where capitalism proves to be successful & creates the funds the UN says it needs to operate, is the nation these tyrant 142 member nations attack. They seek to bite the hand that feeds them by insisting America’s way is unfair. Yet when spending the money that nations provides, those nations surely act unfairly by forcing America to let them waste money in the extreme.
Those very same 142 adversarial nations have government systems that simply do not work. Or more accurately, do not work for their people, other than the elite class that profits from the labors of those nations working class peoples.
Socialism has failed in almost every attempt around the world over the past 50 or more years. Yet the leaders of these adversarial 142 nations cling to this system of government. The answer to why is somewhat complex and simple at the same time. They do not understand capitalism and more importantly, the ruling classes want the system they control to remain in effect so they can maintain their iron control of those nations.
Their peoples suffer. Their natural resources go wasted. Their leaders create demons out of everyone else, especially America, so the people of those downtrodden gwat nations, will direct their anger over their miserable conditions, at someone other than the ruling classes.
What a deal. But one day, as the well goes dry for one reason or another, the UN will have to explain its malfeasance & ineptitude. And so too will the leaders of those adversarial 142 nations whose peoples will finally one day ask them to explain why everything is a mess, but America is not involved!
For those collecting the money, the UN is useful, even necessary. For those paying the ridiculous bill for petty tyrants practicing to be world class despots who feed on all, but return nothing, the UN is the problem. They are blocking us from doing real good for the worlds poor & needy.
One day Americans will get wise & go it alone, doing more good with their money in five years than the UN has done in 50 years.
Somehow, I think if America spent that 11 billion dollars to do good in the American tradition, we would see seriously positive results. But then those socialists & enviro-nets who are against development or American democracy, would be apoplectic! I can’t wait. I hope they froth at the mouth. Now that, I would love to see!!!!
