In exchange for this the US is sent bills for back dues to the UN. The United Nations is one big paper tiger that indulges some of the world's nutbags. (They gave floor space repeatedly to Iran's thug former leader Ahmadinejad) I would like to see them turned out, but the US worries that the UN will make unilateral decisions about which we would have no input. To me, the UN has failed at much that it has tried to do and they do not recognize US sovereignty as they should. I also agree with you about our weapons.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-47040231959057310032014-05-11T18:43:31.061-07:002014-05-11T18:43:31.061-07:00If I have my facts straight, the UN wants the US t...If I have my facts straight, the UN wants the US to seize the guns from US citizens. So, I hope the US does not do what the UN tells us. I am all for kicking the UN out of the US.

It didn't go so well when the Bolsheviks did it, and Stalin killed so many people that when he was ill, he had killed all the physicians who could have saved him. Lenin routinely ordered the deaths of families whose existence was not expedient. Most people realize that a dictator in Russia could be dangerous to us.
