UN seems pretty useless for what it was supposed to do.

You mean that the USA ran away and didn’t pay the bill? Trump? Not paying a bill? Gasp

What if, countries pass some of their US bonds to the UN?

Old news..

Think of all those veto powers over other countries that the security council will lose if the UN goes under. Seems like a no brainer for the inner circle to want to keep it running, but I guess I’m just not cut out to be a tyrant.

The nations of the world are a bunch of bums.

We need to stop the peace board garbage (maybe it could be useful after trump is gone, I have no idea) and just dissolve the charter and get rid of the P5. The UN is the most important governing body in the entire world.

Just shut it down, people work there to evade tax

Holy shit, only 36 out of 193 UN members are current on their dues. Here I was thinking the US not paying was big news, but apparently it’s actually just the norm.

The UN is a complete and utter joke anyways.
All they do is write strongly worded letters.
Completely inefficient and ineffective.

Has it considered pulling itself up by the bootstraps?

UN only cares for women and girls first. Men and boys are disposable to them.

I would be in favour of the UN reforming for the modern era, and every nation should be on the hook for an equal amount in my opinion. Also, the citizens of the nations represented should be elected by the nations they are meant to represent, and those representatives should represent the interests of the majority in that nation. Keep in mind, that if a certain escalator didn’t „break down“ with an important couple in the middle, things would probably look a bit less bleak for them.

Easy fix – countries with a past due balance lose all veto power on the security council. Watch that money appear out of thin air.

Exactly what Russia wants. Part of trumps service to Putin.

Its amazing to think about how people like Musk are nearly trillionairs and yet the worlds most respected organization of nations could collapse due to a few billion.

Don’t allow countries in arrears to vote.
See China pay their bills if there’s a vote on Taiwan.
See USA pay their bills if there’s a vote on Cuba or child sex trafficking.

I don’t understand the numbers. The USA owes over 2 billion. Annual operating budget is 3.7 billion. The USA pays 22% of the budget. That means the USA is 3 years in arrears?
That would have to go way beyond Trump.

More and more I’m reminded that all of society is a giant game of pretend that we just agree to. If you’re big enough, you can just… Not participate.

And now they need to move. Pay those dues folks.

If the UN can’t sustain its humanitarian efforts, millions of people will die annually as a direct result. Their blood will be on the hands of these deadbeat countries especially the Trump administration.
„The United Nations provides food and assistance to 91.4 million people in 83 countries around the world.
The United Nations supplies vaccines to almost half – 45 per cent – of the world’s children, helping to save 3 million lives every year.
The United Nations assists and protects 71.4 million people fleeing war, famine and persecution.“

Best bet for UN is to auction itself to move its headquarters to somewhere other than New York.
The US has no interest in the world anymore. It repeatedly dumps on the UN.
I am sure China might be willing to spend billions being the host.
