During his address to the United Nations General Assembly this week, President Trump denounced the UN for its uselessness in ending wars, stating that the world organization is not living up to its potential and pointedly asked, “What is the purpose of the United Nations?”

This is a question many Americans have asked recently as they watched President Trump and his foreign policy team try to end wars around the world while the UN did nothing but hold do-nothing meetings, issue “empty words” about global conflicts, and pass anti-Israel resolutions.

This, of course, is not a new problem. The UN has been corrupt and strongly anti-U.S. and anti-Israel for most of its existence. Like President Trump, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick once condemned the UN for the “bizarre reversal” of its founding intent to resolve conflicts. During the Cold War, the UN was dominated by an anti-Western/anti-Israel Third World-Soviet bloc alliance. Today, it is dominated by China and woke anti-U.S./anti-Israel ideologies.
