If the US leaves the UN it permanently gives up its seat in the Security Council and its veto.
Russia magically inherited the USSR's security council seat even though they are not the USSR. When the US collapses, which part gets their old seat? (I vote we give it to Canada personally)
Good. It's faaaar past time america stops policing the world and having a seat at the big kids table, trump is a child. I do however think it's far past time Europe polices Europe, no one will ever take over the US so we have no need for the UN. We don't need to pay for all those other countries defenses or be involved in theor policies. Let them sort it out.
Leaving the UN would mean giving up US veto power. This would be one of the stupidest decisions of all time. No wonder Elon wants to do it.
Name one time US veto power was used for good.
FUCK THIS GUY SO HARD. I swear to god this lunatic needs to be stopped.
Preferably a bullet
Will no one rid us of this treasonous billionaire?
Which treasonous billionaire? There's dozens to choose from.
Will no one rid me of these meddlesome billionaires, comrade
Public supports calls for Elon Musk to leave US, and Earth
No please wait until after the US left those groups. They have been blocking so much important stuff for decades, i cant wait for the UN to get rid of the US. Then you can guillotine him.
The USA have never been so weak and so alone. Seems like a good time to exit NATO
I publicly support ejecting this unelected scumbag from our country.
I publicly support ejecting that unelected scumbag from a passenger jet enroute to anywhere away from our country.
No, we don't want elon either, keep it in your country
He would be ejected mid air, preferably over the ocean.
Over the pacific plastic paradise (garbage patch) preferably
Yes, please. Removing the US from NATO has the advantage that countries like Ukraine and Georgia can sooner join NATO. Since Russia is hostile to them, Trump (who is a Russian asset) would never let them join NATO. Getting the US out of NATO removes Trump's vote.
The US can no longer be expected to fulfill its obligations to NATO anyway, so removing the US doesn't decrease NATO's total defensive power. Trump has said he would refuse to help unless other NATO countries increase spending (which is happening slowly, but not yet). Trump would never deploy the military to defend against any attack by Putin. He may even deploy the military to assist Putin.
Both NATO and the U.N. were founded by the U.S. and other victors of World War II to promote diplomacy and cooperation between nations as well as to prevent another global war.
claiming that the organization does not align with the Trump administration
Checks out.
Note how he did not say that it doesn't align with the US.
It's kinda like Brexit
Basically destroy all things that made the US a world leader.
Isolationism won't make America safer, just lonelier on the global stage.

... which has cut significant amounts of government spending...
Has it, though? I mean, even its own over-inflated "receipts" are barely a microscopic percentage of a drop of the overall budget.
To once again prove how much of an utter dumbfuck both of these guys are.
The United States (along with UK) were the first two members of NATO. Making them the founders, so the United States is a founder. If Trump cared about there being an "America First", this should have been no concern of him because it was after-all part of an American idea.
The United States (along with other countries) was the original founding member that started the United Nations. If Trump cared about there again being an "America First" agenda, this also should never have been a concern since this was an American idea.
America apparently is not a priority when you consider these facts. It's more like "Trump First" than "America First".
America First was the slogan of the isolationist/anti-interventionist/pro-Hitler forces of the US in the 1930’s and the 1940’s. History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. I think many Americans are not aware that there is a substantial segment of the population that agrees with Hitler’s original thesis and just feel that he executed the war poorly. The Nazi rhetoric and holocaust denials are very deliberate and the destruction of the liberal world order that formed in the aftermath of World War II is the ultimate goal. I’ve strongly felt that the Ukraine war was the single most important issue in the 2024 election and the common goal of destroying the western led world order is what the project 2025 team, Trump, Putin, and Tucker Carlson all have in common.
I publicly support deporting this laminated-faced welfare queen.
Musk is a moron, instead of the US leaving NATO, why not just move. He can just go to Mars as far as I'm concerned.
Why the fuck should we care what he says?!
Because he has unchecked power in our government. It's important to pay close attention to what he says and does, so we can figure out the best ways to remove him.
NATO I can understand, but why UN? Un would be a mistake
