US exit from United Nations could become reality with fresh bill

A Republican-proposed House Resolution has quietly slipped past the public radar – proposing that the United States withdraw its membership from the United Nations, just as another bill was being concocted to cut US funding to the body.
The bill, proposed by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), entitled American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017, seeks a complete US withdrawal from the UN, that the international body remove its headquarters from New York and that all participation be ceased with the World Health Organization as well.

Rogers and other prominent Republicans have repeatedly voiced the idea that US taxpayer money should not go to an organization that does not promote US interests – especially one that does not stick up for Israel together with the US. The new document is merely the latest manifestation of sentiment that has been brewing for some time.

The bill was quietly introduced on January 3 and was passed on to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. If approved, the bill would take two years to take effect. It would also repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, signed in the aftermath of WWII.

“The President shall terminate all membership by the United States in the United Nations in any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations...The United States Mission to the United Nations is closed. Any remaining functions of such office shall not be carried out,”according to the text of HR 193.

The bill would also prohibit “the authorization of funds for the US assessed or voluntary contribution to the UN,” which would also include any military or peacekeeping expenditures, the use of the US military by the UN, and the loss of “diplomatic immunity for UN officers or employees” on US soil.

Rogers had tried to pass the same bill in 2015, albeit unsuccessfully.

“Why should the American taxpayer bankroll an international organization that works against America's interests around the world?” Rogers asked at the time in defense of his idea.

“The time is now to restore and protect American sovereignty and get out of the United Nations.”

Another supporter of HR 193, Rend Paul (R-KY) also put it like this in January 2015: “I dislike paying for something that two-bit Third World countries with no freedom attack us and complain about the United States… There’s a lot of reasons why I don’t like the UN, and I think I’d be happy to dissolve it,” added the Kentucky senator.

Later, in June 2015, Rogers had introduced his document – then named HR 1205, but essentially the same USExit idea he’s proposing now.

“The UN continues to prove it’s an inefficient bureaucracy and a complete waste of American tax dollars.” Rogers went on to name treaties and actions he believes “attack our rights as US citizens.” These included gun provisions, the imposition of international regulations on American fossil fuels – but more importantly, the UN attack on Israel, by voting to grant Palestine the non-member state ‘permanent observer’ status.

“Anyone who is not a friend to our ally Israel is not a friend to the United States.”

That same logic was used this January when House Republicans prepared a legislation that would decrease – even potentially eliminate – US funding to the UN. According to calculations by the conservative Heritage Foundation, the US provides over 22 percent of all UN funding.

The bill to cut the funding was introduced shortly after the UNSC voted 14-0 to condemn the continued construction of illegal Israeli settlements – the resolution Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered a backstab from the US, which declined to veto it, as per former President Barack Obama’s suddenly critical attitude to Israel at the end of his presidency.

Still, the resolution vote came the same year the Obama administration awarded Israel with its largest military aid package ever, signing a memorandum of understanding in September that would give it $38 billion over 10 years.

However, with Donald Trump now in power, many Republicans seem to be attacking the idea of participating in the UN or cutting funding with renewed fervor.

Each year, the US gives approximately $8 billion in mandatory payments and voluntary contributions to the international peace agency and its affiliated organizations. About $3 billion of that sum goes the UN’s regular peacekeeping budgets.

Will China pay the 22 percent of UN funding vacated by the US? They say they are prepared to lead the global economy!

China Says Prepared to Lead Global Economy if Necessary

BEIJING—China is prepared to take the helm of the global economy if Western nations abdicate their leadership role, a top Chinese diplomat said Monday, days after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged in his inaugural address to put “America first.”

“If it’s necessary for China to play the role of leader, then China must take on this responsibility,” Zhang Jun, head of the Chinese foreign ministry’s office of international economic affairs, told a small group of foreign reporters in Beijing.

Mr. Zhang made the comments following Chinese President Xi Jinping’s trip last week to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he delivered a defense of economic globalization in a speech that likened trade protectionism to “locking oneself in a dark room.”

Many who listened to Mr. Xi’s Davos speech saw it as a rebuke to Western politicians like Mr. Trump, who have pushed for a more inward focus. A stream of commentary in Chinese state media has since sought to portray Mr. Xi as an internationalist and China as the new standard-bearer for free trade.

China’s Foreign Ministry has been cautious on the subject. But with Mr. Trump painting an especially glum picture of the effects of globalization in his inaugural speech on Friday, Mr. Zhang entertained the idea of China adopting a new global role.

“If people want to say China has taken a position of leadership, it’s not because China suddenly thrust itself forward as a leader. It’s because the original front-runners suddenly fell back and pushed China to the front,” he said.

Mr. Trump on Friday said the U.S. needed to protect its borders “from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.”

The new U.S. president has threatened to slap steep tariffs on Chinese goods to protect American workers, and has said he might label China a currency manipulator for keeping the value of the yuan low to boost exports. Several economists have questioned whether tariffs are likely to bring jobs back to the U.S. and pointed out that China has recently been trying to prop up its currency, not weaken it.

Mr. Zhang said launching a trade war wouldn’t be putting America’s interests first. “The goals Trump has set will be very difficult to achieve in a closed environment,” he said.

Mr. Zhang said China would continue to push for a free-trade agreement in the Asia-Pacific region, a competitor to the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Mr. Trump has said he would pull the U.S. out of the 12-nation TPP. The agreement requires U.S. ratification to come into force.

The Chinese diplomat also pointed to his country’s $3-trillion “One Belt, One Road” development initiative, which aims to rebuild the old Silk Road trade routes between East and West, as evidence of the country’s dedication to economic interconnectedness.

Foreign governments and companies have accused Beijing of adopting mercantilist policies that unfairly favor Chinese companies and products through subsidies and restrictions on foreign access to lucrative markets.

In an annual survey of members of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, released last week, four out of five said they felt less welcome in China than before, nearly double the rate from three years ago.

Mr. Zhang pushed back at such criticism on Monday, saying China was trying to improve market order and believed its subsidies were legal under the rules of the World Trade Organization. He also pointed to a new plan by China’s cabinet, the State Council, to expand the areas open to foreign investment.

No more pretensions. Now it is all about national self interest. Might makes right. Such is the natural order of things.

Good for ah tiong land n russkie land. They will take over n rule the world. But the USA does have a prime position in the UN..Leaving is not a good idea. What is needed is for them to concentrate on their own backyard and deport all illegals...Drain the swamp. Ban Muslim immigration...When its own house is in order than it can show the UN who's boss. But I think ah tiong land n russkie land will never fill the USA shoes...Ah Tiong n russkies r too selfish n self centered to have any true frens.

Don't be a joke. When did enemies of Israel recognize Israel's right of existence? Israel is still a nation because of its military victories, not because of the U.N.
