Our Great Leader Is Not Leading Anybody Apparently
From the Washington Post today:
The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a measure rejecting the Trump administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, which was repeatedly criticized as undermining the prospects for peace.
Despite blunt warnings of U.S. funding cuts, 128 countries voted in favor of the nonbinding resolution and only nine voted against it. Another 35 countries abstained.
“The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out in this assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” said Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. “We will remember it when, once again, we are called up to make the world’s largest contribution to the U.N., and we will remember it when many countries come calling on us to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”

Does the quote by Haley above sound like it comes from a spoiled brat of a nation?
Or is it just me?

The thing about US exceptionalism is that it may lead to us standing alone with practically no allies at crunch time. A century of our country in the forefront on the world stage being overturned by the scourge of Trumpism.

That quote was a giant PHUCK YOU! to those countries.
It’s exactly what many of us have wanted to hear for 40 years at the UN.
Trump wins again!

I love this "grab the bull by the horns" mentality we have now. Bring them bitches to their knees. When we cut their funds they will be on their knees begging uncle. Uncle Sam that is

Wake up and smell the coffee. Most of the U.N. consists of globalist-socialist nations. So, yes...philosophically and politically the U.S. has been alone since Trump took office. The prez made the right decision, as it's already quite crowded at the bottom of the junk heap where his opposition lives.

The UN is a collection of useless groups of people pretending to be countries.
Most have them have one out to get money from us while holding a knife ready to stab us in the back.
Screw them all. WE do not need them.
Next step - stop ALL contributions of anything to the UN.
They are dead to us.

Trump should kick the UN out of New York, then his friends could develop something useful there.

We were on the forefront when it came to getting our help. These leaker countries will someday need our help again. At our discretion, of course...

They voted out of fear.
Here's the thing: dealing with radical governments and terrorists out of fear doesn't work.
