Here Are The 128 Countries Who Are Now Dead To Nikki Haley
Ambassador Haley threatened on Wednesday that Trump would be closely watching to see who voted in favor of a UN resolution on Trump's Jerusalem decision. It didn't work.

Break out the burn book: US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley now has more than half of the world on her shit list after a less-than-great vote at the UN General Assembly.

Thursday's meeting at the General Assembly was called after Haley used the US's position as a permanent member of the UN Security Council to veto a resolution in condemning Trump's decision earlier this month to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

All 14 other Security Council members, including the other four permanent members the United Kingdom, China, Russia, and France and US allies like Japan and Sweden, voted in favor of the resolution.

Thanks to a US-led move more than 50 years ago, the General Assembly has the ability to take up issues of matters of international peace and security normally the Security Council's gig if there's no agreement between the Council's permanent members. So that's a bit of a "whoops" for the US there.

In the run-up to Thursday's vote, Haley sent a letter around to all 192 members of the UN, warning that the US is "taking names" of those who vote against the US's decision.

"The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those who voted against us," read the letter, obtained by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

While not quite as lopsided as predicted beforehand, the final result was a clear condemnation of the Trump decision. Many diplomats were reportedly unswayed by the vision of Trump as some kind of bizarro Santa Claus as depicted in Haley's letter. The Canadian delegation actually reportedly changed their vote from a "no" in support of the US to abstaining from the vote.

To give Ambassador Haley a hand in keeping track, here's everyone who's now totally on notice:

Whew. Only Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Togo joined the US in voting against.

Everyone else either abstained or just conveniently happened to be out of the room as the vote went down. So they're all cool in Haley's book, apparently.

Soon after the vote, instead of tweeting out everyone on The List, she instead chose to send out the more manageable list of those who either voted against the resolution, abstained, or skipped out on it altogether.

"The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation," Haley said before the vote, especially when it comes to paying its UN dues.

The US as the richest country in the world and the host of the UN currently pays about 22% of the UN budget. And as for the warning to the members that Trump would take the votes personally, it will remain to be seen whether he recalls it next time he speaks to anyone from the more than 100 countries he now apparently no longer likes.

Worth noting here that President of Honduras is a U.S.-backed thug who just rigged the country's elections.

The next administration is gonna be swamped with so much shit to fix and people will still complain that they aren't doing enough.

Time to drop the UN. Get off our land, stop stealing our money, and stop pretending like you're doing something.

Just a bunch of reps circle jerking in some building acting like they're making a difference. Sad thing is when they finally have an opportunity to make an actual difference, they all sit on their ass and vote against doing so.

Sad!

I wonder how the UN will like it when the US stops footing 20% of their budget

Hmmm, whats the problem with negatively judging a peace keeping organization based on what doesn't happen

Hmmmmm

LMAO, what a dumb bitch.

I dont think you understand the job of ambassador. Her job is to represent the interests of the administration. Trump says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, so she does also. The UN are fools to argue that Jerusalem cannot be the capital because it belongs to a nonexistent unrecognized state called Palestine.

70% of the UN recognizes Palestine as a state.

I don't think YOU understand the job, actually; her job is in fact to represent the interests of the admin, but threatening the rest of the UN to get that point across? Tell me how that worked out again - asking for a fucking friend.

looks like the perfect excuse to cut the UN.

I mean, in some cases, you're either with us or against us, and there is no middle ground.

But this? This isn't one of those cases. Or, well, shouldn't be.

Which is irrelevant because that 70% lacks the ability to actually do anything about it.

Anti-Semitism led to the recreation of that state to begin with. It wont lead to its destruction. The US carries a heavy hand. It can and likely will back out of the UN within the next decade if Trump is re-elected. When US interests are no longer being represented, the country will leave.

Nikki Haley is a pathetic uncle tom and I hope her career is ruined

Its not irrelevant because it hints at why the UN voted the way it did.

It also interesting that you claim the UN is this feckless organization, yet you defer to its consensus when it would benefit your point.

Its not recognized by US. Its not recognized by Israel. Israel fights using our weapons and our money. We, as a country, dont want Palestine to exist. Therefore, the two state solution is and always will be a farce.

Welp we don't have to worry about that box being checked.

Correct me if I'm completely off-base here but...isn't the U.N. based in New York City? Lol. They're free to move elsewhere, I'd imagine.

They have a base in NY. I believe one is also in Switzerland. I don't know where else.

Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, and Togo. So those are new friends? Fear their military power world.

Indeed. Hey, maybe with the money we can save not funding this crap - we can get even more of a tax break? ;)

It was a farce when Israel was first created and the Palestinians FIRST ACTION was to officially declare that Israel had no right to exist. Their second was to declare war on them.
