Molotov---you're 'way offbeam again. the US never has been noted for"pumping money into the UN". In fact, if the US had done their share of pumping money and/or resources into the UN, sad history now unfolding would have been very different. Every significant military participation by the USA which had any sort of international flavour has been either unilateral or under the umbrella of NATO---a confrontational organisation if ever there was one. Too many powerful nations in this world are solely guided by "what's best for ME" .
