| 24. Gee, whiz. We don't pay our dues, we threaten them |
|
we ignore them, we go around them, we embark on wars in violation of their charter (which we wrote), the republican platform is to get the U.S. OUT of the U.N.
I would say that the rebuke by the U.N. was exceedingly mild and quite diplomatic under the circumstances.
Bolten of course is still an ass, who couldn't even get confirmed in the Senate and was appointed by recess appointment.
