Samantha Power tries to defend a cash-strapped U.N. against Trump criticism, ends up proving his point

 

As Twitchy told you yesterday, the United Nations is reportedly running a deficit of $230 million and might run out of money by the end of the month. President Trump had this to say about it:

So make all Member Countries pay, not just the United States! https://twitter.com/cbseveningnews/status/1181612030027030529 

 

.

Former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power came rushing in to defend their honor against Trump with this bit of information:

Just another diversionary lie from @realDonaldTrump. Other countries in fact pay 78% of @UN budget. They also provide nearly 100 percent of the 100,000 soldiers & police who help stabilize dangerous places like Mali & Lebanon where the US has important national security interests

 

 

 

 

Many spotted Power making a great point, albeit not the one she thinks she’s making:

So...195 countries pay 78% percent & the US pays 22% and you don’t see this as an imbalance? M’kay. (193 members, 2 observers) https://twitter.com/samanthajpower/status/1181927911500046336?s=21

The US, with less than 5% of the world's population, pays 22% of the UN budget. I thought you leftists believed in everyone paying their "fair share". https://twitter.com/SamanthaJPower/status/1181927911500046336

I have no idea what those sounds are (or if they're legit) -- between trumpets and booms, it's a phenomenon (or hoax) which has been going on since at least 2011. 

 

But I like this explanation best. 

Isn't it the sound from Cloverfield or some alien invasion movie?

The Nobel Peace Prize became a mockery the day it was given to Obama simply for showing up.

 

I'm sure they'll get a special one for Greta once she learns how to wipe that smug snarl off her mug.

It's a goal within reason not extreme . 

 

What gets ignored by the masses is that clean air & water is mostly abundant in free democratic and economic societies.

What nonsense. Do you actually think anyone here actually supports making our air and water dirtier? :huh:

 

 

 

I do.

 

I didn't used to.  But I've recently changed my mind, and concluded woke progressives should be poisoned.

Even if this is only half as well done as Band of Brothers, it will be worth watching.

 

However, in deference to today's woke culture, the historically accurate segregated white cis-male military protagonists will be portrayed by a multicultural cast of transgender rejects from Orange Is The New Black.

What the ***** are they going to do for a sequel?  Everyone goes home, is unemployed for three years, and they form a biker gang?

No, I asked you a question. Do you actually think anyone here actually supports making our air and water dirtier? 

 

Can you answer directly without finding an article to link as a response?

I don't believe anyone here  supports making our air and water dirtier. I just don't see much resistance to the administration for 85 Environmental Rules  being rolled back under Trump that affect clean air and water. Opinion is one thing , facts are important.
