The United Nations no longer is valid. Sad, but has become like gangs against each other.
@9KHY9ZL 1yr1Y
There should be a pull towards groups that proven to be united amongst their communities to where these major groups feel like extended branches of power. Communication & unity
If the United Nations effectively operates as a peacekeeping entity, the U.S. should maintain its involvement. Conversely, if any concealed harmful motives or conspiracies are uncovered, it would be advisable to dissolve the United Nations entirely.
@9JZW5M71yr1Y
if the UN did anything but appease US interests I would consider this more important but as of right now it is a farce
@9DHRHVJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but ensure allies are putting in their fair share

Yes, as long as we have veto power and it can be used to support our interests around the world.
@9F2GQ2J 2yrs2Y
Yes but decrease the amount we, the USA, pay in funds, make all the other nations pay their share and do their share of the work.
@9DRHX76 2yrs2Y
Yes, but step down from its self-heightened authority role and enable more equality of other members' involvement in international matters

@8YYWV8X3yrs3Y
The UN has shown to be incompetent and useless not only through means of diplomatic means and means of Military.
@8YSZ7WX3yrs3Y
Does it matter? The U.S. is so powerful that it can do whatever it wants. Breaking international laws won't affect the U.S. because there's nothing other countries can do to this country due to how much we spend on the military.
@8XRTFBXRepublican3yrs3Y
yes but also remain independent
@8X8DZGS4yrs4Y

The U.S.'s current position as a western world leader allows it to get away with and spread its ridiculous behavior.

Yes, but focus more on domestic issues in the United States while using the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interest abroad with US military

@8THLN3CIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, but scale back our current involvement while we focus on matters in our nation, but also use the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interest abroad

Yes, but scale back our current involvement while also using the U.N. Peacekeeping forces to protect our interests
@8SXQ7QG4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should move to abolish the UN
@8SQCNHB4yrs4Y
Yes, but hold other accountable and request nations to increase their gdp and dues payments.
@8RTFQK44yrs4Y
Yes, but only because it allows for goodwill between us and other nations.
@8QLPPQ44yrs4Y
Yes, but the United States should stop the obvious human rights’ violations of those in the Middle East, and the U.S needs to be more proactive when it comes to reform, which is highly necessary in the
UN right now, as well as being increasingly more proactive towards humanitarian issues.

@8KCZ9CT5yrs5Y
Yes, but slowly plan to withdraw along with other Western countries, including Israel
@9CJL5SR2yrs2Y

Every country must pay their fair share to the United States.
