Imagine actually feeling sorry for the UN 
Yup. I used the like the UN and still think it's a good concept, but the last 20-25 years showed that it's not functioning the way it should. The Security Council at least should be reformed and veto powers be stripped.
What incentive would the US have to remain in the UN if the nonsense that other nations propose could not be stopped in the Security Council?
Americans view the UN as tax dollars down the drain, and a World Government Entity telling us what to do. This is not a particularly sound viewpoint, but it would (rightfully) gain more traction if the US did not have its veto in the Security Council.
The US does not need the UN. Nations that are truly civilized need the US in the UN. If people find themselves cheering for what the results would be if the US lost its veto power in the UN Security Council, they need to really examine what there definitions of "Human Rights" are. Our veto in the Security Council has helped keep the UN from being a form of the Tyrrany of the Majiority that the World would have to endure, although it would be sweet music to some of the worst actors in the World.
The UN is not the personal fiefdom of the US.
We contribute more to the UN than any other nation.
