@nikkihaley Cutting UN peacekeeping budget means more wars and more refugees… and probably more jobs (US massive arms industry). #MAGA? https://t.co/ufUb237cSY

Yeah, who needs “peacekeeping,” anyway? Only liberal snowflakes care about preventing genocides and atrocities and human rights violations.
