http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/28/nikki-haley-at-united-nations-us-is-taking-names-of-those-that-dont-have-our-back.htmlSpeaking Friday for the first time at the United Nations as Ambassador, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley outlined her vision for the role of the U.S. at the international organization, one which projects strength.
"Our goal with the admin is to show value at the UN and the way that we will do that is to show strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back as well," Haley said. "For those who don't have our backs, we're taking names."
The newly sworn in U.S. ambassador spoke briefly with the press at U.N. Headquarters Friday morning promising changes in the way the United States does business.
"Everything that is working, we are going to make it better. Everything that is not working, we are going to try and fix. And anything that seems to be obsolete and not necessary, we are going to do away with," Haley pledged.
U.S. President Donald Trump has openly criticized the United Nations' effectiveness in the past, describing it as recently as December as "just a club for people to get together and talk." He also warned, "As to the U.N., things will be different after Jan. 20th."

As the world tells her and her stale cheeto to stuff it.
that can work two ways, my Dear Nikki and I suspect you would not really like the results.

when Trump is aligning us with shia by default via russia much to I am sure the chagrin of our long-term sunni allies. These people are a whole new flavor of stupid.
