So close to actually being correct.
The number that you provide are approximately accurate for the UN peacekeeping budget, not the UN as a whole, although it makes no sense to lump the US and UK together if you don't lump any other groups together, but, yes, the US is the largest contributor (28%).
And the UN isn't actually a government, but hey, you do you.
I can't believe I read and am responding to Babe. I feel dirty.
Well, looks like sloppy googling on my part. I looked at that list and was dissatisfied because it was incomplete, and then ignored "peacekeeping" distinction because it did have a full list. So, I looked again, and got some still different figures:

Well, I figure the elephant in the room is ignored exceptionally in an era when white racism is such a topic. The UN developed downstream from the ideas of British Imperialism and perceptions of global power, through the ideas and influences of "Progressive" politics. It may be a complex system with the inclusion of the fake curtains and political divides, but I consider it a puppet show, nevertheless.
Putin is on the outs because he has dared to call it that.
With the world visions of Cecil Rhodes, it is nevertheless still a racist and fascist device. No elected representatives or officers, all appointed somehow by "interests", people with stakes in the game, power and money.
And now, apparently, the gloves are off so far as human rights are concerned.
Putin and Xi and many others never had any legal basis for human rights, only the US, and UK, and to some lesser extent, other Judeo-Christian roots. Might include Islamic roots too, considering the centuries of intellectual liberty that existed in those countries, while the Christians languished in the dark ages.
If you are dirty, take a bath. That is one good idea that was pretty lost in England. Too cold and damp anyway. A thick layer of grease was a life essential. Reading click-bait today, I see the royals used toxic crap to effect striking appearances. The rudiments of dark age make-up. Thick layers of lead oxide/vinegar paste, removed with mercury. The stupid trappings of elitism.
