You aren’t allowed to actually have truth on your sight, right? The UN is just another arm of the US. Doesn’t the US fund the UN?

reply

femfreyanyctofile.bsky.social•47 days ago

What? 😭 Everyone that's part of the UN funds the UN. All 193 member states. The USA is one of the 5 with veto seats, along with Russia, China, France and Great Britain.

reply

t-shirtnshorts.bsky.social•47 days ago

US is a founding member. Is the largest contributor to UN budget. If anything owns 22-28% and no others come close to that… any business owning this much is the Boss and highly influential.

reply

femfreyanyctofile.bsky.social•47 days ago

The USA is not the only country contributing to that budget. And even if it is the largest contributer, it most definitely does not have a monopoly. Also if China and co want power, they can just spend more money on the UN. Noone is stopping them.

reply

t-shirtnshorts.bsky.social•47 days ago

China’s numbers aren’t provided…could be just as low as Japan.
Japan is 3rd at 8%.

Where's the satire

reply

atotaldummy.bsky.social•47 days ago

would be hilarious if untrue, but the US absolutely made sure they can strongarm the UN into whatever they want at its conception. It doesn't need another UN if the current one already listens only to it.

When a satirical article from 21 years ago fits with (impending) current times, it's a rather sobering reflection on progress.

I mean we keep bashing the ICC and blocked how many ceasefire deals? America just wants to be able to commit war crimes when it’s convenient for them. Of course you have to punish war crimes when it’s something that harms our interest.

The day Bush sent Colin Powell into the UN, to demean himself was a sad day for me. Like a kid on share day Colin holds up a small trinket of fabrication to get the UN to agree to send more of America's working poor's children into an unnecessary military conflict. Later to say oops, my bad.
