I wouldn't normally think of the US as a third world dictatorship, but you are right that we seem to be moving in that direction.

What I meant was the UN is a third world dictator's club, and we have no business belonging to it.

1SG Steven Imerman - It's pretty much the mechanism we use to keep the world power structure in a state of reasonable status quo. A status quo where the US is the predominant power. The primary beneficiary of the UN? The USA.

Have to disagree. We spend tons of money to operate a forum where kleptocrats and serial torturers come to legitimize each other.

1SG Steven Imerman - And half of them are propped up and legitimized by us. Eventually the US will no longer be the only superpower. If we want to speed that process up, an easy way to do that is pull out of the UN.
