I feel that the U.S. should be treated like every other country and not have as much say in what the U.N. does. We can stay in it but we cannot be the exception
@9K4PXRVProgressive1yr1Y
doesn't matter US has veto power anyway so i think the un should just disband at this point if one country can just veto whatever. they don 't like
@9JP3LLFProgressive1yr1Y
The U.N. is useless and hasn't been very helpful in foreign policy management, and doesn't actually provide aide to those who really need it (see Palestine).
@9JHBFBMProgressive1yr1Y
Yes but there shouldn’t be the ability for one country to veto in the security council. Ir should be majority vote.
@9DZHD85Progressive2yrs2Y
My stance on this is neutral.
@9DLNYYPProgressive2yrs2Y
In my opinion, the organization is useless.
@9DBBJZ5Progressive2yrs2Y
no because it may create worldwide dependencies and see the us as a ticket instead of a force to support foreign nations. and as it has been seen with ukraine, officials may embezzle money from us support funds.
@9CKR4F8Progressive2yrs2Y
Yes, and promote the expansion of the services provided by various agencies, such as the UN Department of Peacebuilding and Political Affairs, while pressing for harsher penalties on member states that violate the United Nations Charter.
@99VDHH8Progressive2yrs2Y
the U.S military should be democratized into the UN Peacekeeping force, acting as a bullwark of democracy and human rights.

Yes, but out a greater emphasis on other countries paying a larger amount, and enhancing capabilities of peacekeepers

We should remain in the United Nations, but stick to our country's internal affairs more than the world's problems.
