@8NXSSWQ5yrs5Y
yes, but work to reaffirm its original purpose.
@B5SYZ763wks3W
Yes, and the UN should condemn Trump for threatening to annex Canada, Panama Canal, Greenland, and the Gaza Strip
@B5LPDLN1mo1MO
Yes, but the UN should sanction the US if Trump tries to annex Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, or Gaza
@B4FMX6Q3mos3MO
Yes, America has a higher gdp than the other countries so if the us is paying related to how much their making I feel like that’s ok but if other countries aren’t then that’s not ok they need to pay their fair share
@ThunderRoseIndependent 4mos4MO
Yes, as the United Nations is a peaceful stepping stone to a one-world government, where all territories would simultaneously tend to the needs of all other territories.
The US already has much international involvement and is still considered a thriving country so it should stay in the UN to assist other countries.
@9Y5QP5M8mos8MO
Abolish the veto power and limit the US's hegemonic influence. Make the United Nations and the ICJ an actual democratically represented organization with influence and authority in global affairs.
@9WXVKKT8mos8MO
Yes, but they should defund and disassemble UNRWA and UNICEF and ban certain reps from being on committees or chairpersons
@9W6MPQR9mos9MO
Yes, increase involvement, join Interpol, and ensure, along with other members, the UN upholds the organization's mission.
@9TWJDLD10mos10MO
The US should stay apart of the United Nations, but we should remove veto power, and any country currently with veto power should be removed.
@9PRZ4CWRepublican1yr1Y
U.S should leave UN, the headquarters should be removed, diplomat license plates should be eliminated and NYC needs to recoup all lost funds from UN scofflaws - Un real estate should be used for affordable housing and a state of the art pickleball facility which would work on a sliding scale and also could provide free services to children under 18 and the elderly
@9NYP8YP1yr1Y
Somwhat, however we should keep a sense of neutrality as it could really help us with avoiding wars.
@9LMTN5H1yr1Y
We should remain in the UN to understand foreign issues but we shouldn’t be helping the other countries in it as much as we have been
Yes and the US should lead reforms to the United Nations, including relinquishing its permanent seat on the UN Security Council as well its veto power.
@9HSWCPJ 2yrs2Y
Yes but only if the UN continues to stand with Israel and does not support terrorism as a form of revolution.
@9GZYLSC2yrs2Y
Yes; the UN has become useless but it is important that we remain in it to use our veto power when absurd proposals are brought to the security council
@9GPVNN72yrs2Y
Yes, but only if Russia is replaced by countries or main successors of former countries that were ALWAYS on the Allies side in WWII (Russia, or USSR had an alliance with Greater German Reich to take over and split Poland, to technically it should not be in the UN).
@9FF997QRepublican2yrs2Y
Yes but decrease its contribution of money
we should stay but not to interact with global issues
@98DXLGC3yrs3Y
yes because it would destabilize the world if we left, but it seriously needs to be restructured.
@96BMSYT3yrs3Y
Withdraw from the UN only if someone who supports human rights violations becomes Secretary General
@95SBWC93yrs3Y
The U.S. should be condemned for its war crimes across the world in the UN. and most probably have their veto removed.
@93624R83yrs3Y
It makes no difference the UN was created by the US to control other countries. The security council is the only part that has any power
@8ZWTBD23yrs3Y
No, foreign relationships are too flexible.
@8XT4GLCRepublican4yrs4Y
Contributions based on countries gdp.
It doesn't really matter, as long as they're doing good.
@8X7STW74yrs4Y
Yes, but our current power over the organization should be drastically decreased
@8X5Y45Z4yrs4Y
Yes, however, the UN isn't that great so the US should stay and advocate for improvement.
@8X5BMKQWomen’s Equality4yrs4Y
doesn't really affect me
@8WHFDB74yrs4Y
No, not until the U.N. changes for the better
The UN is used to bully over-exploited countries and should be disbanded or reformed
@8WFZYHF4yrs4Y
Which ever that doesn't cause any violence or suffering.
@8WDKX8VIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes but do not associate with other wars because of the U.N. and scale back to our current involvement
@8WDGQMS4yrs4Y
Use ut to promote our own interests given the corruption of the institution. Only contribute in our own interests and use funding as influence. Have other countries step up
@8W3RRC34yrs4Y
Yes, if other countries do their part
@8W2LGWD4yrs4Y
The UN should live up to its objective of protecting human rights in African Americans which I have yet to see.
@8VZQ6B54yrs4Y
this country is full of greed and morons, and shouldnt be apart of the U.N
@8VXP7VS4yrs4Y
The United Nations serves no purpose other than to perpetuate bourgeoisie ideals and front.
@8VWS25T4yrs4Y
I do not have enough knowlegde on this topic to have a stance yet.
@8VS5HJD4yrs4Y
With stipulations we stay
@8VQY4QF4yrs4Y
@8VP4X4XProgressive4yrs4Y
Yes, we should discuss with other countries and propose ideas that affect all of us such as rouge countries and environmental issues
@8TD6T38Independent4yrs4Y
yes, but not because the UN does anything majorly productive but rather for the good of international relations
@8TBV8H84yrs4Y
Yes but equalize all parties involvement.
Yes, but do more to hold it accountable for its problems
@8PLCWL45yrs5Y
While the United Nations is ineffective, the U.S. should at least stay in the organization as a means of negotiation.
@8P33VX75yrs5Y
Yes, but the UN should not be used as a platform for the US to invade the soverignty of other countries.
@8NXVLZFLibertarian5yrs5Y
A libertarian country does not interfere in the affairs of other nations in the ways that the U.N. does.
@8MSXMNBRepublican5yrs5Y
yes and remove the UN headquarters from the US and place it in the Middle East to help promote peace in that area
@8LMBN3C5yrs5Y
Yes, to try to restore peace
@8JQ7XLY5yrs5Y
Yes, but only if the United Nations actually does something
@8JK46BD5yrs5Y
I couldn't care less, as long as it isn't endangering anyone
@8JHRKKB5yrs5Y
Yes, and work with other countries to replace the United Nations with a more representative international body
Yes, however restructure the UN to be more effective and fair
@8DF9VJF5yrs5Y
I think they can stay or go, but need stop dragging the UN along for their dumb wars to exploit resources and destabilize other countries.
Yes, but we should not look to them for authority on international matters
@98X6W5M2yrs2Y
Yes, but the UN is not as effective as it should be, so work on that.
@98W7CKQ2yrs2Y
Yes and use our influence to guide the UNs focus back to included countries
@976SKCW3yrs3Y
Yes, and use it to combat the rise of China
@972746P3yrs3Y
Yes, this will help U.S. stay out of conflict.
@96TZ765Republican3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should recognize that it has limited influence on world events.
@mattmeshberg4493yrs3Y
Yes but use influence to reduce inequity antisemitism and bias
@8ZCL3WQ3yrs3Y
We should remain but the United Nations 🇺🇳 is not friendly to us or our interests but we can use our power to influence the U.N. and try to persuade them to our side. If we leave we are saying that we do not value those countries or even care about them.
@8XX64VP4yrs4Y
Take more of a leadership role, require the other nations to add more resources and scale ours back
@8TFXL274yrs4Y
@8TCVNZZ4yrs4Y
We need to increase our presence in the U.N, in order to ensure that we stay in power and keep a proper view on global politics.
Yes, but acknowledge it’s imperfect and work to hold it more accountable for its missteps
@9T7SNXB10mos10MO
Although the U.N. really shouldn't exist, we may as well use it to our benefit since there's no getting rid of it as an institution.
@9CC9D7XLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, but work to reform the structure of the UN to better reflect changes in the geopolitical climate while also making sure all parties involved are doing and paying their fair share.
