[spanone]

she fucking CHEERS cuts to peacekeeping????

Washington (CNN)US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley cheered cuts to the UN's peacekeeping budget Wednesday, adding that "we're only getting started."

"Just 5 months into our time here, we've cut over half a billion $$$ from the UN peacekeeping budget & we're only getting started," Haley tweeted.

The UN struck a deal on Wednesday that cuts $600 million from the annual peacekeeping budget of more than $7.5 billion--slicing 7.5 percent off America's bill, Reuters reported. Initially the US had proposed more budget slashing, which would have dropped its contributions by more than 10 percent.

In March, the White House instructed the State Department and the US mission to the United Nations to cut their budgets for UN programs nearly in half, including US peacekeeping and development assistance, two senior US officials told CNN at the time.

No one at Trumpville has considered what the alternative to peace is?

3. Proving she is either a moron that believes the US foreign aid is a huge part of the budget deficit

Or a person willing to continue the lie that it is because she has no moral compass.

Can't believe that she considers this a GOOD thing!
