Didn’t a whole bunch (vast majority) just call our bluff? Don’t we have to follow through in order to celebrate?

Classic, do it my way OR and I'll take my ball and go home.

Like the overbearing travel sport/AAU parent who thinks by contributing $$$ they should get a bigger say (and often ONLY say) than everyone else IRT how things should be run.

Cmon folks, WE are better than this.

Every single conversation about Israel does not have to expand itself out to "But Muh Jews hypnotized us territory". Everybody knows they are influential. After we acknowledge that simple fact, is where it all turns to shite and the demagoguery begins.

Do you think that Russia's vote against us was due to 4-D chess?

Rubio: US should reevaluate role as top UN donor

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Thursday said the United States should reevaluate its role as a top donor to the United Nations given the body’s vote to condemn President Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“Given its tendency to be forum for anti-Semitism & anti-Americanism, reevaluation of US role as single largest donor to #UN is long overdue,” Rubio tweeted. LINK

A bill in congress should hit the floor this week capping our contribution to the UN to 10% or less of the total costs on an annual basis.

Guys, I seriously don’t understand the celebration right now. Isn’t it:
1) US says if you vote against us, we cut off aid
2) Vast majority of countries, including those that receive aid, vote against us
3) ....

We haven’t followed through with anything yet (nor had time to). If we don’t follow through, they called our bluff and we look weak. If we follow through, celebrate away, but talk is cheap.

Hopefully Trump holds up his end of the bargain and cuts them off on foreign aid.

I don't believe the threat to cut aid was a hollow threat from President Trump. Paul Ryan joining the discussion today. A bill needs to be passed lowering the US payments to the UN. MAGA.
