Another thing is the vaunted United Nations or shining a light on it's useless activities. I have worked in some of the awful places in Africa where the UN has operations usually peacekeeping and engineering support. The UN is run by the developing world. Its peacekeepers are almost invariably from 2nd and 3rd world nations such as india, Bangladesh, Mongolia etc etc. The countries that send these troops get over 100 dollars per day per man for this. Paid for by the tax payers in rich nations. I saw what happens in Africa...literally nothing gets done by this entity. There is no motivation to do so when the self licking lolly of money from tax payers keeps coming. This is the main reason you dont see the UK forces on UN ops these days, unusually we were involved in south sudan several years ago and the small contingent of UK engineers, infantry and medical personnel did more in that place in 6 months than the UN achieved in 10 years. They HATE it when we send our people because it shows them up for what they are....legal robbery on a grand scale.

@Jester-Riddle the Bangladeshi and Mongolian guys had a racket going in south sudan with the women. When it got found out alongwith a lot of other pressures in the camp there was a riot in the main refugee compound. The Mongolian troops used 50cal truck mounted weapons to put down the insurrection. Shameful. Yet WE must do MORE in the west.

@Ram Rod the budget for the UN comes out of central government as a yearly payment I believe, this is outside of the funds for "international aid". It's a disgraceful racket which simply put is a tax on the tax payers of western nations. Trump wanted it reformed but of course he was called wacist...they would say that though. Trump the orange man was being mean to the noble brown man.
