Why bother with the UN?

I am all for getting the UN out of the US. However, I do think we need to keep a SINGLE representative there.

Why? Because if we didn't - we would lose our veto right (we are one of 5 countries that have it) and then we would end up seeing the UN being manipulated into an "alliance" of unfriendly nations that would, under the guise of UN "legitimacy" - attack our interests in any way they could. With a single represenative there, we can block such attempts.

Better to do so at a table than over crossed swords - when such is possible.
