#bjbf,mr4 ,lee submitted the following  
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,relations       
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
,congress that the ,united ,states      
should prioritize bilateral security    
partnerships over multilateral security 
partnerships and institutions4  ,whereas
 alliances have historically allowed    
states to combine their capabilities to 
combat shared security challenges and   
promote shared values and interests2    
,whereas1 in the era of great powers and
 regional hegemony that followed ,world 
,war ,,ii1 alliances have operated with 
small and medium states standing behind 
great powers2 ,whereas the ,united      
,states is the most free and powerful   
state in world history2 ,whereas the    
,united ,states has a duty to secure the
 blessings of liberty and provide for   

the common defense of the homeland2     
,whereas the ,united ,states            
historically contributes almost one     
third of the total funds of the ,united 
,nations budget1 yet has the same voting
 power and influence as all other member
 states in the ,united ,nations2        
,whereas the ,united ,states            
historically spends more than twice as  
much money on defense as all the other  
member states of the ,north ,atlantic   
,treaty ,organization combined2 ,whereas
 the ,united ,states historically       
contributed almost one quarter of the   
total funds of the ,world ,health       
,organization budget when the ,united   
,states was a member of the ,world      
,health ,organization2 ,whereas the     
,united ,states has contributed         
significantly to other multilateral     
institutions and multilateral security  
agreements at the expense of ,united    
,states taxpayers and has failed to     
deliver returns on investment to        
,americans2 ,whereas the significant    

financial and security contributions the
 ,united ,states has provided to        
multilateral institutions has not served
 ,united ,states interests of securing  
the blessings of liberty or providing   
for the common defense of the homeland2 
,whereas bilateral agreements deliver   
stronger outcomes for the ,united       
,states and put the ,united ,states in a
 more favorable position to advance its 
interests2 ,whereas bilateral           
negotiations give the ,united ,states   
more leverage1 and diplomacy is tailored
 to the culture1 needs1 and capabilities
 of each partner country2 ,whereas      
bilateral agreements are often stronger1
 easier to secure1 and can be amended   
more feasibly as the security           
environment and the interests of the    
,united ,states change2 ,whereas the    
,united ,states is not coerced to       
relinquish its interests at the expense 
of the interests of other great powers  
and adversaries which are hostile       
towards the ,united ,states2 ,whereas   

many multilateral agreements and        
institutions have outlived their        
original objectives and do not          
accurately represent the shared         
interests of the member states2 ,whereas
 the ,united ,nations is fraught with   
ideologies that do not align with the   
,united ,states1 including ,marxism1    
antisemitism1 climate alarmism1 and     
other extremist ideologies that         
contradict the values of liberty and    
prosperity represented by the ,united   
,states2 ,whereas many of the countries 
that perpetrate gross violations of     
human rights against women1 children1   
and minorities are active and           
influential members in the very ,united 
,nations bodies tasked with human rights
 protections2 ,whereas the ,world       
,health ,organization proved to be a    
puppet of the ,chinese ,communist       
,party1 an adversary of the ,united     
,states during the ,,covid-#ai pandemic1
 and failed to make meaningful reforms  
following the pandemic2 ,whereas the    

,united ,nations repeatedly protects the
 interests of adversaries of the ,united
 ,states by excluding ,taiwan from      
participating in the ,united ,nations   
system and elevating false ,chinese data
 over other countries' data through the 
,world ,health ,organization2 ,whereas  
the objectives of the ,north ,atlantic  
,treaty ,organization outlined in the   
,north ,atlantic ,treaty1 done at       
,washington on ,april #d1 #aidi1 were   
reached upon the dissolution of the     
,soviet ,union1 and several member      
states within the ,north ,atlantic      
,treaty ,organization no longer share   
values and interests with the ,united   
,states2 ,whereas the members of the    
,north ,atlantic ,treaty ,organization  
have failed to assist the ,united       
,states during its time of crisis facing
 the ,iranian regime1 which repeatedly  
threatened the interests of all ,north  
,atlantic ,treaty states with terrorist 
proxies2 and ,whereas the interests and 
priorities of the ,united ,states are   

best served by bilateral security       
agreements with its partners and allies 
and not by multilateral security        
agreements or institutions3 ,now1       
therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate--    
7#a7 expresses that the ,united ,states 
must use its power1 influence1 and      
resources to encourage small and medium 
states to choose the ,united ,states as 
its great power partner and ally of     
choice2  7#b7 recognizes that the       
,united ,states should prioritize       
bilateral security agreements over      
multilateral security agreements and    
institutions2 and  7#c7 determines that 
the ,united ,states should withdraw     
support for multilateral security       
agreements or institutions that         
undermine ,united ,states interests4
