@B5568KG3mos3MO
yes, and use the objectives of the group to protect but scale back the amount of funding we are putting into it.
@B28T4S47mos7MO
Yes, and use our power within the UN to combat growing Russian and Chinese influence on the developing would
@B22C7S57mos7MO
Yes, and we need to give up some of our own personal powers as a country and build the UN into a more connected and impactful organization.
kinda with the problems now yes they should later maybe after we fix our problems we can think about that
@9XKHJ579mos9MO
Yes, and use our status within the UN to promote democratic interests and counter growing Russian and Chinese influence over the developing world
@9WBWGJ89mos9MO
Yes, and use our power and influence as a founding member to promote democracy and counter Russian and Chinese influence on the developing world
@9V9HFDP10mos10MO
Yes, however if other countries do not contribute their fair share then we should seriously consider leaving. The USA needs to take care of its own people before others.
Freeze our involvement until the antisemitism and antizionism rhetoric ends. And that they recognize Hamas as a terrorist entity
@9RFCCY712mos12MO
Yes, and use our influence to promote democracy and protect developing countries from being exploited by Russia and China
No because we clearly only care about killing people. It's nearly impossible for the United States to remain unbiased towards violence.
@9JHJFGLIndependent1yr1Y
No, the U.S. has used its veto power to stop any resolutions that would help improve Palestinian lives. They do not deserve to be in the UN.
@9J6DPHF2yrs2Y
Yes. Significantly decrease our funding. What purpose does it serve today? Unknown. But might be useful in the future.
@9HK4CTFIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes but prevent the U.S. and other countries from abusing it's veto power to push an agenda's in their personal interest.
@9DH9DFM2yrs2Y
Mixed. A lot of the U.N.'s military relies on the U.S.'s forces, and the inclusion of the U.N. has kept some wars from waging. However, they have been proven to be utterly incompetent at actual peacekeeping endeavors (Rwandan Genocide), and shown to easily be pushed over by larger nations such as China.
@9DDZQCF2yrs2Y
We shouldnt be involved in other countries.
@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.
@9B2S3822yrs2Y
@9B28V7R2yrs2Y
Yes, although we should leave the other countries to decide what's right for their country, and if it's controversial we found out ways to solve it.
@8XLW39W4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if Taiwan is allowed in.
@8X8B5NB4yrs4Y
I would need to do more research before making a decision.
@8WX8SGS4yrs4Y
I don’t have an opinion on the topic
@8WD9H2R4yrs4Y
Don’t know about this issue to have an opinion
@8TMXLTF4yrs4Y
No, but only because the U.N. is prone to bureaucratic pathologies.
@8T462NM4yrs4Y
United Nations has literally zero actual, real political weight, and nobody, not even the US takes them seriously.
@8SXQ6P4Independent4yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they allow Taiwan to join.
@8ST8X9GRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes but make U.N. and NATO less reliant on U.S.
@8RHKVT54yrs4Y
Yes, but move them out of the USA.
Yes, and do everything possible that both the United Nations and the United States follow through on upholding the Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Yes, but only if their are significant reforms to limit the ability of the UN to intefere in the sovereignty of it's member states.
@8LTYNRP5yrs5Y
Yes but each nation should contribute equally
@8KRV2PJ5yrs5Y
Yes, and cooperate more openly.
@8G3QYF95yrs5Y
Yes, and remove the U.N. headquarters from the United States
@8DFVJTY5yrs5Y
Yes, but contribute the same amount as other countries
@9CMSZV72yrs2Y
I don't have enough knowledge to answer this question.
@9CHQ2MR2yrs2Y
Use their peacekeeping forces
@9C7SLMRLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes but more should be done to make the other member nations contribute more.
@9B2HDW22yrs2Y
No, the US isn't even capable of protecting it's own citizens from other people (both peacefully and security), NOR human rights (ban on abortion & gender rights) or the environment (Willows project), and there are still hundreds of people who are homeless!
@9B2825L2yrs2Y
i think we should do whatever we need to do in order to keep the peace.
@99PLXW32yrs2Y
Yes while using the U.N. peacekeeping forces to protect our interests but scaling back our current involvement.
@99DCZDC2yrs2Y
Yes, and use our status within it to influence decisions made by it
@99C7LT2Independent2yrs2Y
Yes, but such a thing should be voluntary to maintain a global trust between countries. The UN should not be a police force or a hierarchal structure, but should instead promote the ideas of working together and compromise to protect global trade and countries that cannot defend themselves.
@98B38CG3yrs3Y
Yes, but use only minimum funding.
@9865DJJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if they allow Taiwan in as well.
@8YSL3MP3yrs3Y
i dont have any thought on this.
@8JDNR585yrs5Y
Yes, However the U.N. much like the League of Nation's before it is really just a place for countries with no power and blowhards go to air there grievances which are promptly ignored. As an institution it can at times foster some cooperation, but due to geography, culture, and desire humanity will remain divided for the foreseeable future.
@9D4Q5JB2yrs2Y
Yes, but scale back our funding and demand that the various nations that enjoy our forces acting as their defense pick up the financial slack as compensation.
YES, but contributions should match other countries. All countries should pay the same amount.
@B4BRKY34mos4MO
Yes I think the United States should be in the United Nations but I would want all of the countries including the United States of America to prioritize diplomacy over conflict
@8W96JT54yrs4Y
my political stance is none of your business to know
@99JBHW72yrs2Y
I am politically neutral. I do not have an opinion on this matter.
