#8  Any chance of euthanasia for the UN, or are we going to have to watch the protracted death of a doomed entity?

The loons believe in it too much.

#7  Any chance of euthanasia for the UN, or are we going to have to watch the protracted death of a doomed entity? It's dysfunctional-that's clear. Now we get to watch all the ridiculous moves stretched out year after year to try to modernize the dodo.

It's past its time.

#2  Currently, Japan's financial contributions make up about 20 percent of the annual U.N. budget, second only to the United States.
I didn't realize that. Talk about not getting any return on an investment, lol! I would love to see Japan eliminate their contributions - it might be the block that causes the whole monstrosity to crumble.

#1  Masters of the indirect, I suspect they know they will not get a seat and are looking to cutting back on their donation of the corruption slush fund operated under the name of the UN.
