WASHINGTON (WCMH) — A proposed House Resolution would set the stage for the United States to remove itself from the United Nations.
The proposed “American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017” is sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL). It was introduced in the House on Jan. 3 and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, according to the Congress website.
The bill proposes that the United States terminate its membership in the UN, that the UN removes its headquarters from the US, and that the US stops participating in the World Health Organization. Read the full bill here.
Should it pass, the act would take effect two years after it is signed.

If you have ever been on a peacekeeping mission you'd know we do all the work anyway. I say we go, let somebody else handle it.

I'm not really a war monger but this sounds like an act of aggression. The us has allowed so many ppl to suckle upon the capitalist ? that retraction would cause a lot of ill feelings and resentment.
Idk seems like America is drake. Only getting a pass because of pop appeal. Once we stop helping mfs out we're gonna have more to worry about than isis and illegal immigrants. -
Its just a bill ? damn

i thought of this. very interesting -
If this goes anywhere, this may impact Israel heavily.

Donald the Dictator
Totalitarian Trump
He wont be satisfied with just President -
Now do ? need to realize The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey was right. ? might steal your cell phone, your stereo, shoes and anything physical. Europeans will steal the important intangibles in your life like autonomy, capacity to increase intelligence and your soul.

People really believe that the UN will take action against the US? Hilarious. That's like biting the hand that feeds you. Not gonna happen.

bully tactics on a grand scale.
next thing you know ? gonna try to make Saturn give up them rings -
Yall do know that most of the countries in the UN is against the US right? US usually is or if not, seen as the agressor on a world scale. Usually Russia and China want some ? done and the US vetos it being a permanent member of the security council or vice versa. Now without the US involvement, Russia will run the UN.
Also for Israel, for most of the countries involved in the UN, Israel is seen as the agressor and the UN would have voted to create a Palestinian state and put mad pressure on Israel if the US wasnt vetoing everything that went against Israel.
With all that said, this sounds like the US blowing smoke. I cant imagine US leaving the UN and letting Russia have all the influence over it. If this happens then it really does mean that Russia took over the US. -

What action can the UN take? The UN cant take action against anyone. The UN can only set up peace keeping missions that fail. More importantly, the UN allows a platform for diplomacy to set up things like international sanctions that hurt a countries economy. And they can put a rule in place that says something like if Israel keeps building settlements international trade sanctions will be placed on Israel and then all the companies that voted for the rule will place the sanctions. The UN itself cant do nothing.
The idea here isnt that the UN will do something to the US. The issue is that the UN has 2 major powers. The US, backed by England, France, and Germany, and Russia with China. All of the are permanent members of the security council and have veto powers. Take the US out and the balance is out and Russia takes over the UN. Thats the issue. -
but nationalism

We really need to think about divorcing from the united states in a little bit.

What would be the benefit of dropping out from the United nations, not like the us and Isreal respect anyway , other than to not have to be held accountable for the atrocities committed by the United states toward people of color

This bill has been put out there the last 20 years and will go nowhere. Has nothing to do with Trump, I swear people believe every ducktale told to them these days.

This. It's almost disheartening how unaware of things people are. -
Yea, this isn't so black and white..
She didn't support or endorse Trump, only performed at his Inauguration.. authentically, at that. No cooning, no posing, nothing.. She just performed for a $250,000 ~ $750,000 check. She was filler; Her presence had zero effect on anything other than her bank account.
Tbh, I'd rather not have had to see her there, but I can see that the only real outcome is outrage, not anything tangible..
this.
? mad about her singing meanwhile don't realize that Congress just introduced a bill to pull the USA out of the UN. don't get distracted, our president is media troll monster do NOT get distracted
You say that like it's a bad thing. I think we're better off out of the UN.
Oh word? The same UN who criticises America for its oppression towards us? The same UN who we as AA's actually have a valid case to present them with? Didn't someone just make a thread about this topic? Leaving The UN is not good for America or the world
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I support any criticism of America's oppression towards us, and I support reparations (which isn't impossible without UN membership) for African-Americans.
But I also support national sovereignty and not following orders from the UN. As you probably know already, the UN is a big part of the reason why we have gone to war numerous times. I think national matters are handled most efficiently at the local level, not at a bureaucratically global/international level.
