12. I understand your argument Mosby, but the fact remains was that the United States was the major force behind that

treaty, and when the U.S. walked away from it, it completely fell apart.

What does it matter what the UN says since trump is trying to dismantle it with his exclusive club, "The Board of Peace".

Since trump has been in office, the US has withdrawn from quite a few organizations, conventions, and treaties.

The U.S. under trump is not a reliable partner under trump. He has made his intentions known what he feels about NATO, the Paris Accords, etc.

This guy is telling you what he wants to do. Whether he is successful or not is another question. He wasn't kidding about Greenland, and he plainly said his intent is to take over Gaza, remove its Palestinian inhabitants, and re-develop it into the "riviera of the Middle East". While some members of his administration tried to walk that back, that is his intentions.

I recognize that there are major issues with some of the UN agencies, and the infiltration of those agencies with less than neutral personal who have blatant personal bias, and should not be part of those agencies, still I think it would be a mistake to throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak, and I believe that is the actual objective of trump, to have the US leave the UN, and form his own exclusive club.

He is an autocrat, and has damaged the credibility of the country that will be very difficult to repair.
