BREAKING: Plan Launched in Congress to Defund the UN [VIDEO]

The United Nations was established in hopes of preventing another global catastrophe. World War II had ended. Parts of Europe and Asia were in ruins. Subsequently, the U.N. was established in 1945 as an organization of member states to foster international cooperation.

Yet, over the past 60 years, the effectiveness of the U.N. has been questioned because its role as a peacemaker has been subverted time and time again by individuals representing separate governments with their own agendas.Now the organization may be used by President Barack Obama to reach a deal with Iran over that country’s use of nuclear power by circumventing the U.S. Congress.

But South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham says the Senate will not sit idly by and be marginalized by the Obama administration.

If necessary, the Senate will retaliate by cutting off funding to the U.N., he said.

The senator made his comments this past Thursday on the Fox News Channel’s “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” And he wasn’t issuing an idle threat.

The United States provides nearly one-quarter of the funds the U.N. needs to operate. This translates to $654 million for 2015.

Graham stated that he would have enough votes, including some from Democrats, to defund the UN (H/T Fox News).

The next day, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that Obama would not lift sanctions against Iran “at the front end of (an) agreement” but would “leave the sanctions in place to verify Iranian compliance.”

But Earnest added that the sanctions could be lifted later as part of a negotiated deal with Iran.

Graham told Van Susteren that the Obama administration would be making “a mistake for the ages” if it bypassed Congress and allowed Iran eventually to possess nuclear weapons.

Not only would such a mistake threaten national security, but also the failure of the U.N. — an organization established to promote peace — would be made manifest.
