Nikki Haley Got a Surprising Text After Her UN Speech

On Wednesday, United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley gave a speech in which she confronted Russia and Syria about this week’s chemical attacks on civilians. According to Haley, she received a text from inside the UN not long after praising U.S. leadership.

“How many more children have to die before Russia cares?” Haley asked the Russian ambassador during her speech to the UN.

That night, Haley attended the Women in the World Summit in New York City where she revealed the alleged text message from a U.N. Security Council member, according to IJR.

“Thank you for what you said today. It’s so good to see America lead,” she claimed the text read.

IJR reported:

Haley insinuated that the message was meaningful to her because leading is exactly “what we’re trying to do.”

“The way you lead is to make sure they know what you’re for, they know what you’re against, and they never question where you are,” Haley added.

President Donald Trump ordered a military strike on one of Syria’s airfields on Thursday, signaling a dramatic shift in foreign policy compared to former President Barack Obama’s so-called “lead from behind” approach.

Obama was harshly criticized for his lack of action after Syria defiantly crossed his “red line” by using chemical weapons in 2013.

While some may praise the move as leadership, many others have voiced concern over Trump not seeking congressional authorization or waiting for an investigation into who actually deployed the chemical weapons.

Although Obama’s red line comment was a massive leadership failure, it’s not clear that Trump’s move is necessarily a positive one either, depending on who you ask.

The United Nations, an organization full of anti-Semitism that regularly sits on their hands and ignores their responsibilities, may be happy to see the U.S. jump in and act as the world’s police and potentially move us into another conflict we have no business being in without all the facts, but that’s not a view shared by all.

Many Americans and particularly Trump supporters find themselves much more reasonably skeptical of the move — especially given that many voted for Trump in part because of his America-first policy not to serve as the world’s police or drag us into more globalist conflicts.

We’ll find out soon enough the fallout from this decision, but a pat on the back from a member of the U.N. doesn’t really say anything. In fact, one could argue that if we’re going to be the world’s police, why should we waste our time in the U.N.? Particularly when that question should be answered whether we serve as the world’s police or not.
