Jeane Kirkpatrick, also weighed in, telling lawmakers in a letter that withholding of dues would "create resentment, build animosity and actually strengthen opponents of reform"

BULLSHIT, Jeane. The UN can't resent us any more, can't have any more animosity against us than they already do.

As for the "opponents of reform," it makes absolutely NO difference what we do - the kleptocrats in the UN will oppose any reform that would cost them one damn dime.

Close the UN, kick them out of NYC, and ship the whole sorry mess to Paris. Or better yet, Harare. They deserve each other.
