Not that I disagree with You (because I certainly don't), it's just that some see UN as a company that they invested into and expect the return of their "investment":
What I absolutely love isn't that much the return on investment part but the help part.
So, kandal is in some trouble, he could use some help.
I personally am ready to help kandal … as long as it serves my interests …
I think I have to take the old Oxford or Mirriam dictionaries back, cause I definitely misunderstood the meaning of the word "help" and "assistance'

Well ... today UN is a liberal democracy: not based on population, but on "census".
If UN were a democracy most populous countries should finance it [China, India ...]. But it seems that richest countries have to finance UN. This is simply against democracy.
India should contribute to UN budget three times more than US, China 4 times more than US.
That would be democratic.

Every institution can be looked at that way.
UN also brings lots of economic benefits as well as prestige to US, because it is located in New York.
If US is no longer interested in UN, tell the UN to take its headquarters elsewhere, and cut its contributions. Europe will take it in a minute. And Trump would be happy too!.

I don't find much need for it. It was always symbolic and now it is even more so. While I wouldn't make it an obvious quid pro quo statement, the truth is that is how all foreign aid works. Show me one major power who gives financial support to those diametrically opposed to them. The U.S. is contributing much too much to this organization. Those who like it the most can pony up. After all, who of us as individuals support causes for things which we do not believe?

And as for the prestige, do people realize the diplomatic immunity that comes with these diplomats?

When I was in high school, we had a student whose father was associated with the U.N. The student used to get fined for excessive speeding constantly. He used to joke about how he had immunity from real consequences because of his father's position. Diplomats can literally get away with murder.
