If you’ve been paying attention to world politics for a while now, you probably have a rather strong opinion about the United Nations. The idea of a group of countries, coming together, to solve the world’s problems sounds like a fantastic idea. If everyone could get along and work through issues, that would be fantastic.
However, that is simply not what the UN actually does. For the most part, it is a group of non-elected heads of governments who bicker back and forth without actually ever doing anything. The UN doesn’t have a problem with putting sanctions on unpopular nations such as North Korea, but when it comes down to preventing a world crisis, it’s stuck with its hands in its pockets. Every time there is a civil war or genocide in Africa, the UN turns the other way.
More often than not, it relies on the United States to do all of its work. This also means the United States foots the bill for the UN. Even the UN building is located in the United States when realistically it should be located in a neutral nation. Just another way the US foots the bill.
So why doesn’t the UN actually do anything? Because deep down, it is control by big money backers. The UN expected Hillary Clinton to win the presidency (a major reason why so many backers behind UN representatives gave money to the Clinton Foundation).
However, the election of Donald Trump has thrown a major wrench into the UN’s ultimate plans. Just how bad is this going to get for the UN? Check out this video to find out.
