You didn't say that.  You said UNICEF would cease to exist without the food and
goods provided by the United States.

Also, the UN isn't in business.

What's funny is that the UN was actually an attempt at democracy on an
international scale.  It's somewhat flawed, thanks to the meddling of the
larger western nations, because the western nations can pretty much veto
anything with a single vote.

The point of the UN is to make things better for all humanity and all nations,
regardless of what nation you're in.  Does it work?  Sometimes.  Does it have
problems?  Absolutely.  Honestly, if the US withdrew from the UN, they'd
probably get a lot of shit done that the US simply won't allow them to do.
It'd be pretty interesting to see what could happen when the rest of the world
unites against the United States.
