The U.S. leaving the UN that they created isn't all that ludricrous if you take histroical precedent into account.
The League of Nations was the brain child of American President Woodrow Wilson. He was the guy that came up with the then-nutty idea of a multinational council of diplomacy as part of his "Fourteen Points of Light". Then as other Allied nations pushed for war reparations and the disarmanent of Germany through the myopic Treaty of Versailles, Wilson was so put off by the idea that he himself began arguing against the Treaty and the only "Point of Light" that survived into it: The League. Wilson's campaign to the American public to refuse the Versailles treaty created the situation that the nation that thought up the idea of the League of Nations refused to join it.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
