It doesn’t matter because the UN is a feel-good club for sensitive nerds who grew up and wanted white collar jobs but couldn’t cut it in science.
@B47L6WY4mos4MO
Yes, however ensure the UN actually does what it is supposed to do and remove the communists and Islamists.
@B4797KC4mos4MO
Yes, however the US shouldn't be the ones doing literally everything, and remove the freaking Islamists. (How is Countries like Iran in the UN)
@9YJ2DJX9mos9MO
No, not until the U.N. undergoes drastic reforms to address its issues with corruption and incompetence.
No, but the United States shall pay more attention to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to help defeat enemies against us.
@9R5B8KL12mos12MO
Yes, but completely restructure the United Nations to be a truly diplomatic, democratic institution where no one country has more precedent or a more powerful vote than the rest.
@9QD7TV81yr1Y
The U.N shouldn't exist. Voluntary cooperation between governments is better. This is a ridiculous question.
@9M2XMWN1yr1Y
I agree we should stay, but the Us should not spend majority of the bill. If we do we should leave I’m not surprised, this questionnaire is flawed
@9L4DKS71yr1Y
Yes, but strive to use the United Nations for fighting dictatorships and international sponsors of terrorism.
@9K7XDR41yr1Y
Yes, and dominate the U.N with our influence to outcompete possible internal threats from Russia and China
@9JB9VN31yr1Y
I would like it to remain in the United Nations, but only if the U.S. reevaluates its values. The fact is that the U.S. was the only one of the countries in the UN to veto the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine, and all it took was a singular veto to make it so it wouldn't happen. This was a concerning move, and if the U.S. makes more decisions like it, perhaps removal from the UN would be better for the organization.
@9HSGSGP2yrs2Y
Yes, but the UN headquarters should be relocated and the US should advocate for drastic reform. Additionally the US should pull out of some programs that have been captured by dictators hostile to world peace, human rights and to the Jewish people.
@9HG6DFK2yrs2Y
The US being apart of the UN seems to make them more complacent to tragedies around the world because they’re apart of a group of other superpowers that do not act.
@9FQH6TH 2yrs2Y
Yes, but more should be done to rally allied nations to punish bad actors like dictators at the Human Rights Council
@9FPHZPQ2yrs2Y
Scale back involvement and make other countries pay their fair share
@9FFLDG92yrs2Y
No, if Ukraine joins the U.N. we would be attacked
@9F3N5VL2yrs2Y
Yes, because it gives us permanent veto power in the security council.
Abolish the U.N. and replace it with an international socialist system.
@9BLMYS82yrs2Y
yes but other countries need to scale up their involvement
@99ZCD2G2yrs2Y
Yes, but work on reforming
@93X6STWRepublican3yrs3Y
No, but we should form a NATO like alliance of liberal governments to protect ourselves from China and Russia.
@92X9QTK3yrs3Y
Yes but it should stop abusing its power.
@8ZLCXXT3yrs3Y
Dissolve the United Nations
@8Z2WRHF3yrs3Y
The organization has proven consistently to be gutless and inept. I would leave the UN I favor of a much better option.
@8X2H4M24yrs4Y
Yes, because unity and harmony are needed to thrive. When we join with others, we are stronger.
@Rogersr4yrs4Y
Again, I plead ignorance.
@8WB2LMX4yrs4Y
Yes, but decrease funding, remove HQ from US, and diminish its importance
@8VRXD4HConstitution4yrs4Y
Yes but recognize that the UN wields no real power.
@8VL5CXZ4yrs4Y
@8VCQKS34yrs4Y
The United Nationa serves the interest of the United States and is a puppet for imperial power.
@8TDMH4R4yrs4Y
@8SVT9Q34yrs4Y
we should participate in the UN but not as we do currently (i.e. doing nothing good for nobody, acting holier than thou practically always,)
@8SSF7XQ4yrs4Y
Only if they pay their share and we stop supporting the world.
@8R45835Republican4yrs4Y
Yes, as the greatest country we owe it to the world to make it a better place.
@8PQMYLDRepublican5yrs5Y
Yes. But scale back involvement in the peacekeeping force
@8PMW3MV5yrs5Y
yes, but we should pay the same percentage of our GDP as every other member
@8LSXZD85yrs5Y
I don't feel educated enough to form a solid opinion on this matter.
@8LD3FKP5yrs5Y
Yes but drastically reduce US funding
@8KM4R825yrs5Y
Yes, but take a more involved and direct role in daily operations and separately form a coalition with other western nations and traditional allies outside of the UN and Nato.
@8K8GXK7Republican5yrs5Y
Yes, to block China’s influence there, but reduce funding as much as possible
@8GVLC5J5yrs5Y
Yes, but scale back current funding and require other countries to pick up the slack
@8F34NWC5yrs5Y
Yes but we should not be the one contributing the most. Every other country needs to contribute and participate as much as the US does.
@8C5N28J5yrs5Y
No, the U.N. is a wasteful relic of the cold war that doesn't serve America's interests.
@9B8JQ4T2yrs2Y
Replace the U.N with a different organization that provides guidelines and tries to get governments to work together
@99WNW9Q2yrs2Y
I'm content with Where it is.
@99CK8432yrs2Y
Yes, the U.N. is a biased and ineffective organization, but it allows the U.S. to exercise more power on the world stage.
@97YXLDC3yrs3Y
No but reduce our financial commitment
@96YNXQ63yrs3Y
Yes, but work on drastically improving the system
@8YVRVVS3yrs3Y
what are the united nations?
Yes, if we leave the UN then we give up all power in the UN
@8VJZFHS4yrs4Y
Only if the corruption and overspending are under control. Too many employees on the payroll!! core values abided by and terrorists regimes and true human rights abusers punished and not rewarded with committee appointments
@8TYLW6B4yrs4Y
NO we should 100% OUT and NOT FUNDING anything under the U.N. and it should have been done back in the 1960's. They NEED US. WE DO NOT NEED THEM.
@8TDLGMS4yrs4Y
Yes and force the UN to be more effective
@8RB89DYIndependent4yrs4Y
Yes, but push for change in massive reforms to make the U.N. more effective.
