I've Been Thinking:
The UN is an institution that provides some essential services to needy people all over the world. It is also an institution fraught with problems.
The goings on in the General Assembly is a classic example. There are 193 member nations and 2 permanent observers in the GA. Of those, there are only about 15 real democracies and another 50 flawed democracies. The rest are authoritarian, autocratic regimes that include monarchies and dictatorships.
The decision by the General Assembly to vote on acknowledging Israel as the capital of Israel is a direct attack against the United States.
The US is correct to be insulted and it is understandable to want to "take names." There is no reason for the US to support countries that choose to publicly teach the United States a lesson.
