UN Insult leads to potential injurry

Shorter story: UN number 2 claim that US is attempting to undermine UN gives US ammunition to undermine UN.
"To have the deputy secretary-general criticize the United States in such a manner can only do grave harm to the United Nations," Bolton said.
I must admit, however, the speech in some parts is highly condescending of Americans - I wonder, for your average country, how many middle-[country X here] citizens are aware of the role of the UN in the world. Then again, the US is one of the fab-5 so, I guess the comparison isn't totally appropriate. Perhaps just within this group then?
