"The UN spends close to $8bn (£6.5bn) every year on peacekeeping around the world, with the bulk going to missions in Africa.

One notorious and repeated blight on the UN peacekeeping scorecard has been that of the discipline - or the lack of it - of troops.

A UN inquiry has named 41 peacekeepers in relation to alleged sexual abuse and exploitation in the Central African Republic between 2014 and 2015.

Women and even minors were reportedly abused in exchange for food and clothing. The UN has taken very little action against the individual soldiers.

In February, gunmen killed 30 internally displaced people and wounded more than 120 others within one of the UN's designated Protection of Civilian compounds in the north-western South Sudanese town of Malakal.
The irony of the facility failing to live up to its name was not lost on the mission's critics.

In the Central African Republic (CAR), the UN mission (Minusca) has also been accused of inaction when, for example, more than 75 people including civilians were killed in the north during an outbreak of violence in September 2016.

The rights group, Amnesty International, reflected on this case, saying Minusca was poorly trained and "lacks the resources it needs to adequately protect civilians."

Jean-Serge Bokassa, the Interior Minister of CAR, accused the peacekeepers of colluding with armed militias.
"What is the role of the Pakistani contingent in Kaga-Bandoro?" he asked. "Their collusion with armed groups has gone too long."'





Time to cut the financial strings to the United Nations. Let Europe deal with that crap.

$8B is a drop in the bucket. If you ever want to know where we are blowing a bunch more, we should meet up for some winter seafood! I used to think DoD was bad. Foreign aid is a joke.

We don't need anybody else's oil anymore. Start with the mid-east - abandon the region and we could scrape by with a defense budget half the size of the current one, at least we could when we have a budget..... spend half the savings getting our crumbling infrastructure ready for self-driving cars..

Keep the UN, they'll come around when we pull out of the mid-east..

I say we deploy D1B over there. He'll give the UN the same hell he gives the Catholic Church I'm sure.

I start threads that unite people.

Sure, I pick un-PC subjects...but in the end, anyone with a brain sees the obvious conclusions.

I am a uniter - except for the globalists.

I think they like to be referred to as "Trump voters".

It's time to get out of the UN. It's outlived whatever usefulness it ever had. We don't benefit from it, and we pay too much.

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. You boys found one this time...

Who doesn't think the UN is as useless as a paper fire iron these days? Didn't think that was an area of conk/donk contention.

Pull out of the mid-east too and sell every country there enough conventional weapons to put their neighbors back to milking goats and they'll take each other out trying to get to Israel first. We'll make a trainload of money and ease the population back from the planet's carrying capacity. Trump takes 10% of gross weapons sales and everybody happy.
