Joe: What Nikki Haley Did At The UN Was An Embarrassment | Morning Joe |... (click here)

This is nothing but coercion. This speech proves Haley has no independent practice, she is Trump's puppet. It is completely obvious. Haley was a peacemaker when standing up for African Americans in the removal of the Confederate flag. This level of hate for the entire membership of the United Nations is new and out of character. 

The United Nations is a powerful organization of which the world of countries and nations of people have gratitude. The payment by the United States to the United Nations is our membership assessment. It is in no way generous. Those are MEMBERSHIP DUES. I am quite sure Donald Trump understands membership dues.

The USA has been very successful over the DECADES to bring about morality and justice to the global community through the United Nations. An excellent example of the incredible power of the UN, is the new sanctions upon North Korea, including China, to bring about peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The U.N. Security Council (click here) imposed tough new sanctions on North Korea in response to latest ballistic missile it says can reach the U.S.

"It sends the unambiguous message to Pyongyang that further defiance will invite further punishment and isolation," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said of the new resolution after the vote Friday.

The resolution adopted by all 15 council members Thursday doesn't go as far as the toughest-ever sanctions that have been sought by the Trump administration, such as prohibiting all oil imports and freezing international assets of North Korea's government and its leader, Kim Jong Un. 

But it is a sign that China has come around to ratcheting up of pressure on Pyongyang, CBS News' Pamela Falk reports from the U.N. The unanimous passage shows that Beijing is working with Washington to increase economic pressure on the North Korean regime in response to its nuclear program.

The resolution caps North Korea's crude oil imports at 4 million barrels a year and limits its imports of refined oil products, including diesel and kerosene, to 500,000 barrels a year. That would be a nearly 90 percent cut in imported fuels that are key to North Korea's economy....

The United States could never achieve gains toward peace and morality of the quality of life of other countries without the help of the United Nations. In the recent decades, Republican Leaders from the USA have little to know compassion, loyalty or WORRY to the quality of life of others in allowing continued emissions of greenhouse gases and ACTUALLY WORKING TOWARD LARGER EMISSIONS BY THE PETROLEUM COMPANIES.

The USA has been served very well by the United Nations, I just wish the United Nations would feel well served by the USA in protecting human life on Earth from the climate crisis.
