Yes. Use them to fight ISIS
@Wombattius_ 3mos3MO
Yes, but reform the United Nations to make all nations equal to one another, so that the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia and China don’t have all the power at meetings and international influence.
@9VHGXX37mos7MO
Allow the UN to have more of a say. I don’t like when the US overrides things just because they don’t like it
give the General Assembly more power to make decisions and take away the US veto in the Security Council.
@9LKBNG4Independent1yr1Y
Yes but other nations should pay their fair share. The US pays a disproportionate amount of the funding.
@9KGRCSP1yr1Y
No, because the UN has furthered the cause of autocratic regimes, and the U.S.A and the U.S.A is limited by this globalist group.
@9K6DXLT1yr1Y
Yes, but scale back our involvement and amount of money we contribute. Only take position back after we fix our own country first. Play nice but put US first
@9HYJV2K 1yr1Y
Yes but reform the system to make it more fair to other nations and keep voting power equal among members.
@9HXN2WZ1yr1Y
Yes, but reform the rules to make the organization more fair and have the voting/veto power of founding member nations have checks and balances.
No, the U.N. promotes imperialism
@8Z232233yrs3Y
Yes, and remove China and Russia from the security council.
@8YXHKTT3yrs3Y
Every one of them are just as power hung as the other.
@8XVN6473yrs3Y
The US should focus on their own problems before trying to solve the ones in other country
@8V438BJIndependent4yrs4Y
Conditionnal, if corruption oversight is figured out.

Don't totally understand United Nations.
