In my article last week titled “A Dangerous Symbolic Gesture” I dealt with how the United
Nations and certain of our fellow NATO nations...as in France, the
UK, and Canada...are now turning their backs on what was once their
former ally Israel, and aligning with the UN's call for an “officially
recognized” Palestinian State with full UN membership rights.
And this got me to thinking about not only how dangerous the UN
really is, but how there is now both a vocal and visual breach within
our fellow NATO members ranks.
Politically siding with terrorists is
one thing...as bad as it is...but to officially recognize them as a
UN voting member “state” gives said terrorists both
legitimacy and a worldwide platform by which to spew their nefarious
cause, which in this case is to wipe the Jewish State of Israel off
the map. And this has led me to also think about not just how the UN
outwardly favors both those who commit terrorist acts...especially those terrorist acts committed against Israel...but how certain of our
fellow UN members and NATO allies...most specifically France, the UK,
and Canada...are now threatening to reward terrorists with their UN
vote if Israel does not acquiesce to their specific set of demands in
a misguided attempt at appearing relevant in the discourse regarding so called Palestinian statehood.
And while we're at it we need to take
another look at NATO as well for they, like the UN, so relish in
taking what they can from us, but delivering little to nothing in
return. And when the UN and NATO are coupled together it seems
apparent to me that new alliances and friendships need to be forged.
So let's start with the fact that maybe
it's time we walk away from the UN, the very organization that always seems to put global interests first whether they be right or wrong, thus they tend to ignore their own UN charter principals as laid out in “ChapterOne: Purposes and Principles”...which clearly states that the UN's goal
is, “To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect
for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples,
and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal
peace.” Words quite laughable
at this point in time I'd say, as the UN no longer even bothers to
veil their antisemitic resolutions nor their condoning of terrorist
initiated actions against the Jewish state along with the fact that they
continue to reward seats on their “Human Right's Council”
to countries whose governments are oppressive dictatorial regimes.
It's no wonder President Trump pulled us off said council for
obvious reasons that truly need no explaining.
And what I've just stated is never mind
the fact that the UN can always be counted on to try and undermine our U.S. interests especially in regards to President Donald Trump's “America First” foreign policy
objectives and agenda. In fact, some current UN resolutions actually do violate or clash with our Constitutional law in areas regarding
Congress having been constitutionally granted the power to
regulate treaties and international agreements...agreements which, at
times, tend to see us in conflict with the ICJ...the UN's
International Court of Justice (aka the World Court)...with the one
calling for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's arrest for supposed
“war crimes” quickly coming to mind. Thankfully though, any
UN resolution, court verdict, or declaration that contradicts U.S.
law in any way is not legally binding here at home, and rightfully
so.
Also, in the UN's failing to abide by
their aforementioned founding principle, we find the
world today so far away from “universal peace”
that we are actually skirting on the precipice of World War III. And
with the UN having done nothing of substance to help defuse what are
dangerous regional conflicts, it's my opinion that the UN's upcoming
September meeting regarding Palestinian statehood actually fuels the
flames that are the fires of war.
A few years ago former UN Ambassador,
South Carolina Governor, and 2020 Republican presidential candidate
Nikki Haley stated that, “When the United Nations consistently
fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of
states that we are compelled to take our own action.”
And take our own actions we should if
for no other reason than the monies we give to help fund the UN is
disproportionately out of line with what our fellow member nations
contribute. Remember, the U.S. has and remains the UN's largest
financial contributor, and has been so since its founding in 1945. In
fact, in 2023 alone...the latest posted numbers...shows that we
contributed close to $13 billion to the UN which accounts for more
than a quarter of their collective budget. And while every member
nation is required to help fund the UN, President Trump recently
called for a review of our funding based upon the fact that the UN
has either been unable or simply unwilling to help solve or even help
temper down any of the ongoing conflicts, while their overt
in-your-face biases help to initiate, feed, or extend said conflicts.
Just imagine what $13 billion per year
could do to help alleviate some of the problems/issues we currently
face here at home. And if for that reason alone we have every right
to turn our back and walk away from the very organization that does
envision us...as do the terrorists and terror supporting nations...to
be the “big Satan.”
Now as for NATO, what is the “North American Treaty Organization”
and our oldest military alliance to date, NATO's relevancy in
helping to keep Europe safe cannot be disputed. However, NATO
currently has its own share of problems courtesy of what has been
referred to as “geopolitical polarization”... ”polarization”
to such a degree that in it's helping to divide the
loyalties of its member nations it directly affected how NATO is
supposed to operate. How so? One example can be seen in how what was
originally a two nation conflict turned global...as in Ukraine v.
Russia...and how it has driven a wedge between NATO members as to
whether or not to ever accept Ukraine into the NATO fold. Ukraine
wants desperately to join NATO, yet within the ranks is fear of what
Russia...of what Putin...might or might not do if Ukraine did become
a NATO member...a member who would be sitting right on Russia's
eastern border.
And it's this very fear that helps weaken that which is the very
fabric of NATO itself, while at the same time causes us to wonder if
fear itself makes for strong and dependable camaraderie. And in my
opinion, the way certain nation's leaders are acting I say it does
not. And when coupled with what has become our disproportionate
monetary and military responsibility, it has left me wondering if
NATO and its headaches are worth us being a part of it anymore.
Again, and in my opinion, I say it's not, for like the UN the
handwriting is on the wall, as both organizations relish in taking
what they can from us while at the same time trying to throw a wrench
into not just our alliance with Israel, but in their trying to paint
us as being both warmongers and devoid of compassion for those who
actually do wish us dead. Convoluted I know, but those with their eyes
open would see what I stated as being the absolute truth.So
if we actually did leave the UN what would the outcome be? First, the
UN would continue on for a given period of time, but most likely with
much less relevancy and influence then they currently have or believe
to have. The UN would in losing us as its prime money pit, also see
its operational budget taking the biggest hit while terrorist
supporting, anti-western“rogue
nations,” start
moving into the seats of power that we and certain of our allies once
held, as those countries aligning with us would probably leave as
well. And the “bad actors” who
would now be in charge would, in
time, collapse what is left of the UN from within...as the UN
would have officially become not an instrument of peace nor of one
supporting human rights let alone equality.
Simply, it's the U.S. and
our fellow like minded nations that help to keep the UN's current radical ideologies, actions, alliances, and far
left agendas somewhat in
check...but for how long is the question.And as for the actual
physical aspect of our exiting the UN, besides the monies saved now
being able to be used here at home, some foolishly do believe that we
might actually turn isolationists, but nothing could be farther from
the truth. Why so...because I believe we would immediately start
forming new alliances that would help to counter or at least combat
the negative spheres of influence that would be the hallmark of what
would be the UN minus the U.S.
Now
as for us leaving NATO, besides the monetary aspects of dollars saved
(which is upwards of $500 billion per year) is the fact
that while NATO was legally established as per our Constitutional
requirements, today's NATO operates under what is called “collective
defense principles”...“principals” that
when signed on April 4,1949 did align with our national
security interests, but do not with our “America First”
interests today.
Remember, when NATO was founded Europe was in the
process of rebuilding after WWII, even as rummages of what became the
“Cold War” were already being set into place. The then
Soviet Union was looking to dominate Eastern Europe not via the
physical aspects of war, but by communist party infiltration of the
democracies of Europe. NATO was supposed to be the wall to block this
from happening, and while it succeeded for a time, to look at Europe
today one can see that said infiltration has already taken place.
Simply, it's time for Europe
to start taking care of itself, especially now that Europe has
already, to some degree, acquiesced to acts of terrorism becoming
it's new norm. And besides, when three key UN and NATO members...as
in France, the UK, and Canada...when the same three U.S, allies...actually threaten to side against the
U.S. and Israel by rewarding terrorist acts, it really is time for us
to exit what have become two no longer functional organizations.
And so the “red lines”
have been drawn...either one stands with the U.S. or with those who
wish us all dead. Case closed.
