Elon and Vivek’s DOGE Could Cut Billions in Funding to the United Nations

Elon and Vivek’s DOGE Could Cut Billions in Funding to the United Nations

“Each year the U.S. provides nearly a quarter of the U.N.’s total expenses”

This is a cut that everyone could get behind. Why do we give the UN any money in the first place?

FOX News reports:

Elon and Vivek should tackle US funding for this boondoogle organization and score a multimillion dollar win

In the search to eliminate waste and unaccountable spending, a $20 billion annual savings plan is immediately available to incoming President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): American taxpayer dollars flowing to the United Nations.

Each year the U.S. provides nearly a quarter of the U.N.’s total expenses, including assessed or mandatory “regular” funding of more than $3 billion and voluntary contributions that have vacillated between $10 and $15 billion in each of the past two years. Taking into account in-kind support services, the total is likely even higher. U.N. demands and U.S. subsidies have ballooned, with U.S. payouts almost doubling over the last decade.

Alarm bells ought to ring out for Americans both because of how the money gets spent and where it is going.

Here are a few of the rabbit holes where your money ends up. U.S. taxpayers pay for U.N. tax-free salaries; for U.N. lounges set up for watching sports games with bargain prices for food and drink; for media campaigns and other festivities to celebrate the “International Day of Neutrality” invented by Russia, Afghanistan and friends, and the “International Day of Banks.”

U.S. dollars for peacekeepers include the blue helmets in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) who have kept busy observing Hezbollah rearm, build terror tunnels, take up positions among Lebanese civilians, and fire at Israelis.

The surging expenses of the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights – from your wallets – have included staffing and support for a Chinese “Independent Expert” on “international financial obligations of states on the full enjoyment of all human rights,” an “expert” on “a democratic and equitable international order” who advocated that the International Criminal Court tackle American crimes against humanity, and an “expert” on “International Solidarity” created at the behest of Cuba.

I am the Chief Intergalactic Justice at the InterGalactic Court of Supreme Superseding Universal Justice.

My fellow InterGalactic Justices at the InterGalactic Court of Supreme Superseding Universal Justice and I have decided that the U.S. has no right to withhold funding to the U.N., based on InterGalactic Supreme Superseding Court precedents that suit our whims today.
And because paychecks from the U.N. Is a sweet gig, if you can get in on it, which we don’t want to see end.

If the USA tries to behave as an independent sovereign nation on earth, then we will issue InterGalactic Supreme Superseding Court arrest warrants.

As you know, galaxies are larger than planets, so our Court orders must be obeyed.

On behalf of the IGCSSUJ, we are submitting this honestly, ethically, without fear or favor, we really mean it this time I swear we do not have anything but the purest goodest intentions for earth and all other planets:

Associate Justice Corn Pop
Associate Justice Ted Bundy
Associate Justice Harry the Horse
Associate Justice Idi Amin
Associate Justice Genghis Khan
Associate Justice Vito Corleone
Associate Justice Roxie Hart
Associate Justice Killer G.
Associate Justice Harry the Neighborhood Heroin Dealer

(Did I mention that our rulings must be taken really seriously. Really solemnly. Why? Because we say so.)

get the U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S. Win Win! (Just not for the Kleptocrats of the United Nations)

I like the idea of punishing the UN for horrible behavi0r.

However………waste like the UN is in now way a significant portion of the yearly budget.

I applaud this not just because it saves a rounding error worth of money from the yearly budget but because the UN does need punishment.

However do not confuse this for something that could actually help balance the budget.

To your point, I launched DOGE-UN this week as reported by FOXNews https://www.foxnews.com/politics/un-doge-waste-efficiency?msockid=11c81b457a1f69711cae0e0b7b616873
I welcome views and suggestions.
Thank you
