It’s been a while since we last got to revel in the awesomeness that is our U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Throughout 2017, she put the entire world on notice. She backed Trump’s stances on Iran, North Korea and Israel. She made it clear that the U.S. is still the powerhouse in the world and that we won’t tolerate the bickering and whining the international community came to appreciate when Obama was in charge.
She also reminded the world that the U.S. foots the bill for everything, and if you want to keep enjoying American money, then you’re going to have to play by American rules.
For a few months, Haley didn’t have to put her foot down on every issue and the media tried to forget her. This new Russian business has changed the mood. In case you missed it, Russia has been blamed for a chemical attack in the UK. The international community has said a lot of harsh things about the attack, but action has been limited.
It took the boldness of President Trump to get things rolling. He expelled more than 60 Russian diplomats from the U.S., and closed down the Russian embassy in Seattle—and that is just the first steps! Now, the powers in Europe are torn between joining Trump in reasonable action or siding with Russia after they attacked an ally with nerve gas.
As fun as it is to see European politicians squirm, the real joy, as always, comes from seeing Nikki Haley’s no nonsense responses. In this video, she is succinct and efficient, but no less brutal. Take a watch and bask once more in the glow of her fury.
