My major involvement with the UNSCD was the Korean Armistice. The US Dept. of Defense is the UN’s executive agent for maintaining the Armistice Agreement and I will tell you that the folks at DoD are crackerjack experts at the political-military processes that have been largely responsible for keeping the Korean peace; as opposed to the morons who fill seats at the UNSCD. What the UN staffers don’t screw up through incompetence, they damage through malicious intent to harm the US and our staunch allies in Seoul…The actions of the UNSCD staff proved to me that if an action will benefit the US or one of our long-term, reliable allies then they are against it and will do whatever they can get away with to impede our objectives.

My other interactions with the UNSCD involved Middle East peace-keeping missions and regional reconstruction in the Balkans. In both cases, UN staffers and (so-called) diplomats worked hard to ensure that US & multi-national force peace & stability initiatives were not as successful as they could be because, in my assessment of the situations, our success would mean cronies of these UN bureaucrats would lose money, power & control.

The time is long past for the US to get out of the UN — and to get the UN out of the US…and for our nation to form a “League of Democratic Nations” that will look after the interests and coordinate the efforts of the few functional and pro-people governments on the planet.

The thugocracies that currently reap unearned and ill-gotten wealth from America’s well-intentioned but naive efforts to help our fellow humans will founder once we push them away from the US taxpayer’s teat.

Let the third world crooks and gangsters hold court in Geneva if they wish, they can visit their money and conduct “business” to hearts content on their dime. We have a consulate in Geneva should we need to have an “observer” status and deal with the criminals at their consulates. Too much valuable real estate in Manhattan to waste on this trash never mind the outrageous recurring costs.

Claudia Rosett, America is forever indebted to you, but if you could find an opportunity to whisper the above in Rudys’ ear (in a convincing manner),you could be a king maker.
