The United Nations Has Become the Dictators' Club: Chooses Tyrants Over the Oppressed

The United Nations was founded on the promise of upholding peace, justice, and universal human rights. Today, however, it appears less like a beacon of morality and more like a stage for savagery and hypocrisy.
The UN is quick to condemn democratic nations such as the United States and Israel for defending their citizens and fighting terrorism, but goes out of its way to protect, coddle, and even elevate some of the world's most brutal and oppressive regimes — most notably Iran. The UN, which should be standing with the oppressed, is instead handing power and legitimacy to their oppressors.
It is as if the UN places arsonists in charge of the fire department and then acts surprised when the firehouse burns down.
The US should pay only for the programs it wants and get what it pays for, or at least, as US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz has suggested, pay only commensurately for UN support. The US needs to stop smiling, drinking coffee with murderers -- and especially funding them -- and instead stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those fighting for freedom. Until that happens, the UN will remain what it has sadly become: an expensive, corrupt horror show at the expense of humanity's most courageous people.
