the U.N. to consolidate humanitarian functions to reduce bureaucratic overhead, unnecessary duplication and ideological creep

lol, the UN was established after the end of WW2. It wasn’t founded to combat Nazis and evil. It was founded to promote peace. Something it has utterly failed to do in the entirety of its existence. I would think a highly educated person would know these facts.

Don't know if it's true or not but one story I heard was that the only reason the UN building is in the US is because no other country wanted it in theirs.

I believe that.

It’s not true it was donated to New York by John D Rockefeller jr

Ok, a Rockefeller. .that's SO MUCH BETTER!

So what, that addresses the building not the decision to base it in New York.

No John D donated it after WW2 to make the US be a beacon of hope

Isn't JD Rockefeller a Beacon of Coal Mining and Eugenics ?

Him or his father or grandfather was a monopolist and one of the four infamous Robber Barons.. Teddy Roosevelt created the anti-trust laws because of how out of control the Rockefellers and the others were.

Upvoted... He had an Obsession issue with Human Population, correct?

John D Jr

The powers that be globally, call "Human Overpopulation" they were concerned with in the 1970's by a newer, softer, more acceptable acknowledgement of the residual effect of such Population as the result of human lovemaking today in 2025 as "Climate Change"

Is it true that JD Rock Jr. just thought ghetto people and jungle dwellers once fed, got too horny and as such, when fed went to babymaking?

Oops, handsome fellow regardless of whether I omitted the Junior moniker after his name

They were already searching for sites in New York when He donated it. So the decision was made before the donation.

"Bluessol

It wasn’t that diverse in 1945"

Oh my gosh

Well yeah NYC is the most famous city basically in the world with such a diverse amount of people makes sense

You still didn’t disprove me

It wasn’t that diverse in 1945

Yeah, that's totally exactly the reason. And where else to throw it away other than Manhattan with all its excess space?

What does an edumacated person have to do with it ? Lowly, highly, or whatnot?

Because he claimed he was more educated than I was.

Oh, I wouldn't pay attention to that,
....even if he is more book learnin' educated than us put together

The smug arrogance is hilarious so I have to point out his educational shortcomings.

The United Nations (UN) was formed in 1945 at the end of World War II to prevent future global conflicts, replacing the ineffective League of Nations, by fostering peace, security, and cooperation through diplomacy, human rights promotion, and international law to solve shared problems like war, poverty, and disease. It serves as a central forum for nations to work together, aiming to save future generations from the devastation of war.

I think the Nazis violated human rights and peace

Ya but you are still wrong it wasn’t started till after the Nazis were defeated don’t wasn’t created to defeat the Nazis as you said.

Whatever happened to the resounding success of the League of Nations?

As demonstrated by these Nazis you two debate about that were in WWII

It was a failure as is the UN.

Resounding success not really, good idea just without enough countries and the Big US it’s not as good as the UN

47 countries were not enough to keep the World Peace Goal
....when Germany got tired of paying for WWI ?

'good' is up for discussion

OK.... maybe try 1941 for it's origins...

...and that eventually absorbed the failed 1920 League of Nations

President Trump pledged $2 billion in humanitarian aid to the UN. That is significantly less than was given to the UN per year by Biden. President Trump wants it to solely go to humanitarian aid, not anything agenda driven

What no LGBTQ promotions and free transmutilations? The hell you say?

And no global warming🙀

Blasphemer!

I am still waiting for Greta to explain to me how 15,000 feet of ice age polar ice cap that was sitting on top of New York City 20,000 years ago melted because caveman were driving Hummers.

Sorry she’s on Gaza genocide duty now. No time for exposed global warming lies.

Good point
