seems like it's a little more.. which still makes us majority share hold/the us pays more into the un than any other single country.
The article you cite states that a little less than a fifth of the U.N. budget is contributed by the U.S., which would be 20%. Even your own source refutes you.
Quote:What Is a Majority Shareholder?
A majority shareholder is a person or entity that owns and controls more than 50% of a company's outstanding shares.
(Investopedia)
First of all, monetary funding of the U.N. isn't any kind of share as the distribution of power and votes in the various bodies of the U.N. is not based upon it.
Second, even if it were comparable, the U.S. would NOT be a majority shareholder.
You are a fucking moron. Bold mine...
Preach it sister.

The UN is not a private corporation. There are no "shares".
The link says just what he said, (and I said). It says one fifth. That's a majority of nothing.
We get you don't even know the basics of what a public company is and what shares actually are, and how Capitalism works and how NGO's work.
The members of the UN don't get more votes, depending on how much they give. The Security Council does have some "more influence", but it's not according to donations.
Obama did not roll over when they invaded Crimea, and I guess your buddy did the same for the Ukraine, except Obama put oil sanctions on Russia, (and Trump did nothing),
which was SO bad they needed to interfere with our election to try to get them (sanctions) reversed.

If the US funded every single bit of the UN, we'd still be making off like bandits in the deal. America firsters lack the self awareness to realize that the things that they are against are the things that provide us with global advantages.

He's exceeded expectations on some fronts. 15 dollar minimum wage for federal workers now. Gotta give him his props when he deserves it. Air strikes in Syria though... yikes. And I'm not buying the Afghanistan news. We've heard that before. And if they do leave, they will surely be back.
Jen Psaki giving homemade cookies to the press is beyond ridiculous though. And I see the media started talking about Hunter Biden after Joe was elected and it became safe to talk about Hunter. Did they bring up the corruption and all of the money Hunter was raking in to sell influence though? Nope. They ran stories about Hunter Biden stopping off at a bakery to buy some bagels. You can't make this stuff up haha. State tv.

Please post the evidence of Hunter Biden's corruption.
They may go back to Afghanistan, they may not. There was no reason to go there in the first place.
Bin Laden cooking up a plan in a remote cave is no reason to invade a country.
It was nothing but "the appearance of some sort of revenge" for 9-11,
(which Bush was told was coming that summer at least twice, and failed to protect us from).

From what I've read, it looks as though "bringing them home" may not lead to any reduction in US violence against Afghanistan.
The official US troops are coming home, but thousands and thousands of private contractors are staying. This means less oversight from government, and more freedom from any sort of restriction or prosecution when they strike out.
In other words, privatized war is probably worse.

Inb4 "Not a reliable source". Just because your favourite media outlets chose to try to bury the story, that doesn't mean it's not true. What other theory can you come up with about why they wanted to pay a crackhead all that money in an industry he had absolutely no experience in? I'll wait lol. Hunter also opened himself up to the possibility of blackmail, with videos out there of him smoking crack or meth or whatever while partaking in sex acts with hookers.

Especially when that country offered to hunt him down and hand him over to the US through a third country (either Turkey or Kazakhstan, two staunch US allies at that time). The US had as much right to start a warof aggression against Afghanistan as it did against Iraq because of what al-Qaeda (a creation of Saudi Arsabia and the CIA) did.
