here we go, the GOP (Government Of Putin) House Republican Mike D. Rogers and seven of his GOP cohorts introduce HR 193..American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017
This bill repeals the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and other specified related laws.
The bill requires:
(1) the President to terminate U.S. membership in the United Nations (U.N.), including any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body; and
(2) closure of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
The bill prohibits:
(1) the authorization of funds for the U.S. assessed or voluntary contribution to the U.N.,
(2) the authorization of funds for any U.S. contribution to any U.N. military or peacekeeping operation,
(3) the expenditure of funds to support the participation of U.S. Armed Forces as part of any U.N. military or peacekeeping operation,
(4) U.S. Armed Forces from serving under U.N. command,

What's crazy is how the US pays 22% to the un and 27% towards peacekeeping.
The US is on the hook for 49% to the feckless un, while the remaining countries make up the rest.

^^Yeah right, diplomacy is too expensive, it's far more cost-efficient to send our children to needless wars and get them back in boxes or so damaged in body and mind they're on Disability for life.
But there are profits to be made in war and these profiteers are quick to feed the right-wing media the evils of diplomacy and the United Nations.
There are several factors that determine our UN cost, gross national product (GNP) and a number of adjustments, including data for external debt and for low per capita incomes.
Not to worry, by the time Trump's trickle down goes into full swing we'll be in another Great Depression, our UN dues should drop like rock...he's got a real plan for America

Great plan, piss off all our allies, and drop out of the U.N. What could possibly go wrong?

You can still be allies and be diplomatic without being in the UN.
This president can't of course, but a normal one could.
For me, I just don't see the return on investment for being in the UN.

Despite all the hoopla about our U.N. dues, many years we don't pay anything. In fact, it seems to me not too long ago it was said that we were years behind on paying our dues. Somehow we're never behind on all the weapons we buy for Isreal every year. 
Speaking of which, the weapons we bankroll for Isreal cost the U.S. taxpayer more than three times those U.N. dues. If we're going to start cutting, how about we start there. It costs the most, and does the most damage to our image around the world.
