Just watched Trump address the UN. The kind of leadership we need and the world needs too. Tells it like it is. Trump haters probably won't like it
though...too bad.
What say you?

Not watched it yet but it will be on here soon.
My opinion /experience is it's about time they were told, we haven't had a leader here since thatcher who had the balls to tell it as it is and doesn't it show! The un and eu in my opinion is just a lefties meeting place, just wanting to keep things smooth so the don't have to do anything! Then others Vito against others that makes nonsense of the whole thing. The un should be able to react to a situation within 2 day or so max, oh no, what do we get? Ok we'll have a meeting in a couple of weeks, write a letter then repeat this for a couple of months maybe the problem will go away! Looking forward to watching him!

The Untied Nations!

Corruption run amuck.

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

President Donald Trump took the United Nations to task in recent remarks at the global body’s New York headquarters, telling those attending a special forum on “management, security and development” that the entity was in dire need of reform.

It’s about time America snipped the U.N.’s wings.

Among Trump’s scolding was a quip that the United Nations has become victimized by its own “bureaucracy and mismanagement.”

No kidding. And guess who pays the steepest price for this big bloat?

America. But of course.

“U.S. Funding of the United Nations Reaches All-Time High,” blasted one Heritage Foundation headline. And that was from 2010. America’s share of the U.N. funding pot has not fallen off much in recent years.


By the current numbers, the United States pays a bit more than 22 percent of the United Nations‘ annual $2.5 billion administrative budget. That’s for administration — for the United Nations‘ regular budget needs.

That’s massively higher than what other countries pay. In 2015, for example, 35 member U.N. countries only paid the near-minimum amount for administration — about $28,269 each. Another 20 countries paid the global body its minimum administration and operation assessments, about $8,470.

U.S. taxpayers are currently also on the hook for billions of more dollars for the global body’s many programs — ones aimed at fighting hunger, fighting climate change, fighting on behalf of resettlement of refugees.

And those costs are substantial — to understate. A couple of examples?

The United States now funds 28 percent — roughly $3 billion — of the United Nations‘ $8 billion-plus peacekeeping budget.

The United States also, in 2016, paid $1.5 billion of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugee’s total $4 billion budget.

In other words: The United States regularly picks up the bulk of the United Nations‘ tab — and oftentimes, for the furtherance of programs and policies that are political hotbeds on U.S. soil, and that aren’t completely supported by the U.S. taxpayer.

In more other words: The United Nations ought to be kissing America’s butt, not the other way around. America ought not have to stand quiet as the United Nations wastes money, spends it to promote programs antithetical to America’s goals or outright criticizes the United States and U.S. allies, like Israel.

Under Barack Obama, it was one U.S. kiss, cater and kowtow to the United Nations after another. But now, with Trump at the White House helm?

Well, in January, Trump signed an executive order directing his team to look for ways to cut U.S. donations to the United Nations, by about 40 percent.

In March, U.S. diplomats warned key U.N. members in a closed-door session in New York to “expect a big financial constraint” in spending, due to a looming tamp-down in U.S. contributions to the global body.

And in September?

Trump, in four-minute remarks to a special panel at the United Nations on management and bureaucracy, warned: Reform or else. He bluntly told those assembled that the United States would not keep mindlessly funding the United Nations without seeing a return for the investment.

“In recent years, the United Nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement,” he told the panel, calling for more accountability among the U.N.’s higher-ups, for protections for whistleblowers, and for fewer bureaucratic and costly hoops for program implementation. He also called for — and get this, a message that ought to resonate with even the socialists of the world — a fairer sharing of the United Nations‘ budget.

“We must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden,” Trump said.

Wow, what a concept — a call to fairly spread the fiscal burden.

The fact is, if America stepped back from paying the United Nations, the global body would stutter-step and shutter. If anything, in Trump-speak, that gives America a strong position of bargaining power. America, bluntly, and under Trump, should be able to dictate to the United Nations how global business should be conducted — not the other way around. It’s music to patriotic Americans’ ears.

I liked the part where he scolded the UN on human rights.
It's about time.

Someone needs to be schooled. It is ridiculous

While addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, President Donald Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea. But there were notable absentees: North Korea’s U.N. delegation had walked out of the hall prior to the U.S. president’s stark warning.

As fate would have it, the U.N.’s seating lottery put North Korea’s representatives in the front row for the first time during Trump’s address to the General Assembly. Yet they were apparently in no mood to hear Trump’s latest comments.



The speech came just two days after Trump, in a tweet, apparently referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man.”

Despite the seriousness of the occasion, it was a nickname Trump reiterated during his U.N. speech.


“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime,” Trump said of a government that he described as “depraved.”

Trump then went on to threaten the entire country, population 25 million.

If the U.S. is “forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” he said. But, he added, the challenge is for the United Nations, which recently passed a resolution imposing tougher sanctions on North Korea, to help avoid conflict.



“The United States is ready, willing and able, but hopefully this will not be necessary,” Trump said. “That’s what the United Nations is all about. That’s what the United Nations is for. Let’s see how they do.”

Trump has used increasingly bold rhetoric toward North Korea in the wake of Kim’s regime stepping up its missile and nuclear tests and threatening that it was ready to hit the U.S. mainland as well as the U.S. territory of Guam. Last month, Trump threatened that North Korea would be “met with fire and fury like the world has never seen” if it continued down its current path.

More from Newsweek

Korea is already threatening Japan, etc.

I have heard America is a war mongering, sticking our noses where it doesn't belong....until others need help.

Japan and SK will nuke up too. I think China is looking at NK as a new province. Looks bad for the little fat dude.

But the US is the bad one

Unless they point those missiles and fire at us or the territories we own, we should stay out of it

America is looked upon as that very big and strong retarted kid down the street. Everyone wants him on their side in a fight.. but nobody really wants to hang out with him. Its really time we stop being used.

We should take care of our own, Japan and South Korea can handle this nut without our help.

And if they do fire at us, well then we have every right to blow them off the map.

USA, a couple of HUNDRED years old
Other Countries, THOUSANDS of years old.

If you are 40 years old and need a 20 year old to look after you, there is something wrong.

If you are a 60 year old and need a 20 year old to explain values and virtues and babysit you, there is something wrong.

The world has the technology to build a United Nations facility in Antarctica. Antarctica is owned by no country. The world has the technology to travel to and from that continent.

I say, put together a fund to move UN operations to Antarctica and make it required that every nation contributes equally in all aspects. If a nation does not have the funds let them borrow the funds at the same rates that everyone else is assessed.

Great idea. But proximity?
Say China or another country had a problem with Cuba, what would be the outcome if they decided to "nuke them "?
In ww2 the Japanese sent hundreds of balloons filled with explosives into the air /jet stream which travels from West to east, the radiation fall out would hit the west coast of usa and beyond!

Who said any thing about radiation?

How else would you "blow them off the map "
Any other way would take to long!

well,it was a good Speech,since the Left is defecating Bricks!

One word: Reagenesk.

Love The Donald!

We probably have a few neutron bombs still laying around.
