The United Nations is hurting for money. Interesting for an organization that cannot do what its initial charter was “to maintain international peace and security.”  I would say that Tim Laudner’s 1987 season and World Series contributions with a sub .200 batting average far outshines the United Nations ability to maintain international peace and security.

478 wars have occurred globally between 1945 and May 2021, according to data from the United Nations Association Coventry Branch. The UN has also played a role in averting potential wars through diplomacy and peacekeeping, such as during the Cuban Missile Crisis and in mediating peace agreements in El Salvador and Guinea. Yet, the number of violent conflicts has reached its highest level since World War II, with 2 billion people—about a quarter of humanity—living in conflict-affected areas as of 2023.

There is a shit ton of money that has been dumped into the United Nations since 1945. Recent data shows that the UN received $74.3 billion in 2022 and the United States being the largest donor, contributing $18.1 billion in 2022, or over a quarter of the total. (search.brave.com AI summary)

This article will not do the math to see the total since 1945, but shit ton of money is a good description. There is also no guarantee that the UN did much to prevent wars and maintain international peace and security.  It has done a much better job of fleecing money that the League of Nations did.

If the United nations as doing any type of job, why would so many of the peace deals need to be brokered by the United States and other free countries.  Why does Chinese Taiwan need to keep the United States and other countries informed on the encroachment of communist Red China?  Why did Britain have to defend the Falkland Islands.  Why did Russia invade the Ukraine not once but twice since I bought my Kiev Cameras?

Convince me otherwise, but the United Nations has been nothing but a cash drain on the world giving country club jobs to diplomats and a certain cash flow to New York City. That shit ton of money collected all of these years could have been spent better!

The UN can go bankrupt!
