More proof you're flat out wrong.

I never said the US was always successful when threatening countries. Despite Bush's best efforts, he was unable to get UN approval for the invasion of Iraq.

"Donald Trump has threatened to withhold “billions” of dollars of US aid from countries which vote in favour of a United Nations resolution rejecting the US president’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."

That just helps prove my point. Economic threats, just as I said. UN votes are not always honest votes and that supports my claim UN approval means nothing.

You are flat out wrong.

So you used that as a point about the U.S. bullying to get it's way, then admit that this tactic failed.

Discussion over.

When did I claim it was 100% effective? Never.
The US does bully to get it's way and I proved that. You failed, not me.
