the loss of a major part of its budget
HOLD IT!!! BACK UP!!

We're one of about (as I recall) 260 members of the UN. Howzit that better than half this budget depends on us?
Now you might argue that being rich compared to most nations, we should pay more (you socialist!). In fact we do.

But we are not the only nation that can be called rich. Where is the EU in this? Japan?

Seems to be another case of "Let's blame the Americans for everything."
