Does any anon remember a thorough accounting of what the United Nations "really" costs us, the American taxpayer? Not only direct contributions as a member, but all of the other things that come with it?
The list is staggering, too long to post, but check it out:

And then there's the U.N. "footprint". Valuable real estate, diplomatic costs, unpaid parking tickets, work load on State Department, thousands and thousands of apparatchik parasites and the graft and corruption they cause.
What about all the contraband brought into our country because of "diplomatic immunity"? And the SPIES, OMG the SPIES! WTF do they cost us to keep tabs on them physically and surveil them electronically?
Why in the world should we tolerate their existence, much less their presence?
