UN official: Western nations “don’t need more cars, more TV, whatever”

UN official: Western nations “don’t need more cars, more TV, whatever.” The UN party clowns are gearing up for another “environmental conference” (i.e. vacation at taxpayer expense.) What we really don’t need is any more UN boondoggles. What we really do need is to move UN HQ to Havana or Pyongyang.

  • Anyone got a small plane? I would love to do a "bombing mission" at the U.N. I could drop a few old TV's that I don't need anymore....

  • So what war does the UN want to get the US Military involved in? Another Korea? Another Vietnam? Or just Syria and Egypt?
    I wouldn't wipe my ass with the UN Charter.

    • PH, the UN does serve a purpose. That is to make sure that when there is a war, that there is no clear winner, so nothing ever gets resolved. Need examples? Let's start with the 1st war they were involved in, the Korean War. They got involved, & we now have a divided nation with the communist north still being a total pain in the ass. Another example would be Iraq. Bush41 goes into Iraq w/ the UN, & then instead of finishing off Saddam, they leave him in power & set the table for another war. We have not finished off a war since WW2, & we need to start finishing off conflicts that others start with us.

  • Western nations don't need the UN.....go F yourselves UN!!! Take the IMF and World Bank with you!!!

  • Suggested new home...
    For the UN Buggarhood,
    Zimbabwe, totally corrupt in advance,
    they will be at home immediately!

    • I vote for THAT! Good idea. By the way, my family had a plantation in Rhodesia that was stolen by the "revolution". I am often tempted to put "African American" on forms since that was where my Grandfather was born. I don't have the huevas that Fauxchontas Watson does though.

  • The Western nations don't NEED:
    North Korea
    Islam
    Socialists
    Communists
    More government
    More regulations
    The Useless Nations
    OR Another 4 years for Obummer either.

    However, we seem to be, at least for the time being, stuck with all of the above.

  • God save us from tiresome UN officials and their half-assed pronouncements. Helen Clark is the former PM of New Zealand and a socialist so, of course, she knows what's best for everybody.

    The best thing the UN can do is disband itself. If that's not possible then the democratic nations (USA, Canada, Japan, India, Australia, England, Germany, etc.) should leave it and form a new international organiation. We should no longer tolerate worthless crap from the likes of Zimbabwe, Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba and Syria.

      • But danybhoy, then Al Qaeda would have lost their American arm of AL Jazeera, and the only international organization that would let them keep getting away with what they do, with nothing more than a wimpy sanction.

    • I have to agree. I wouldn't have been very devastated if the UN had fallen to pieces and I would not be in a hurry to have it rebuild. I would mourn the loss of any innocent civilians of course.

  • I love it when people that have nothing to do with me and don't know me and what I want out of life tell me what I can or cannot have because I don't in their estimation "need it".
