The Europeans, notably the French have extremely short memories when the U.S. is the subject being referred to. They forget who bailed their Chestnuts out of the fire not once, but twice during the 20th century, and who forgave Billions in war debts owed. Their Arch enemy, the Germans also suffer from Memory failure as to who rebuilt their war ravaged country at little or no expense to them, who saved Berlin from Communist domination (Berlin Airlift), and whose military presence during the Cold War assured their survival.
My opinion of the U.N. is not fit to print on this Forum. If I was GW I would withdraw from membership, stop funding to the U.N. and strongly suggest that they are Persona-non grata and need to find a new home, possibly France as they deserve each other.
The sooner we cut all ties with that America hating bunch of do nothings and proceed to do what needs to be done, the better. Teddy R had the right philosophy, Speak softly but carry a big stick.
