Another reason the United States has problems in the united nations is that the United Nations kicked the U.S. the Human Rights Council. The United States took this as a personal insult because Sudan received  the united states' seat on the Human Rights Council. Since the United States provides most of the funding to theunited nations, it considers itself as the main preponent of the U.N..

Answer 3

the united states think they are the united nations, george bush and the rest of his monkeys dont realise there is a whol big world out there beyond the sea boarders of the americas

Answer 4

I'm not sure if it is true of very recent times, but for a long while the US refused to pay its fees to the UN - certainly up until about 2000.

But the obvious case is that of invading Iraq - the US and UK (along with a few others pushed into playing the game) invaded Iraq without a UN mandate to do so. On September 16, 2004 Kofi Annan, the Secretary General of the United Nations, said of the invasion, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the U.N. charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal."

Answer 5

Well for one, the US leaders think that they could wipe their butts with the UN and its policies.

Answer 6
