Watch:
I would like to see the end of the United Nations, a completely useless organization if ever there was one. Responsible for more death and destruction world wide due to it’s inept leadership and ridiculous laws. It serves no useful purpose that I can see and now these international morons have fallen into the same trap as the League of Nations when it didn’t step into the German Nazi movement when it could have. Millions died and that organization died with them. I sincerely hope the UN suffers the same fate and it will be for the same reasons.
