I have seen it pointed out that some of these 66 agencies are really platforms, treaties and commissions, not organisations. Is there an analysis of this?
Being in international organisations is soft power, and Trump doesn’t like soft. Trump likes it hard.
Bubba has entered into the chat.
You know what? If the US want to remove itself from influence, I’m fine with that at this juncture.
If the US want to remove itself from influence
But they don’t. They are simply governed by morons who want to replace all that “nonsense” with the only actual influence they understand military force.
They are simply governed by morons
Who is a real moron? A moron who governs or morons who elected them?
Who elected them? It’s no democracy when the votes have a weighting factor to make iliterate votes from rural areas more important.
Yeah, the electoral is bullshit and needs to change, and I’m sure that has a suppressing effect on voter turnout…however, that piece of turd still won the popular vote. The majority of people either voted for him or, burdened with supreme ignorance and/or over-riding main-character syndrome, decided not to vote. Which is effectively the same thing.
Idk even then you sort of have the 24/7 propaganda machine + Russian bots that were proven to be spreading false information to help trump win. Billions were spent helping him win, along with deliberate interference from Russia, and he still barely won.
Sure. There was a lot of fuckery, no doubt. A whole lot of variables that influenced both voter turnout and voter votes. I wonder if we’ll do a better job at teaching how to identify and combat propaganda when/if we get to the other side of this stain. It’s too effective with this population.
Ah, never looked into the numbers of this second presidency. I guess that bullet he “dodged” did give him an unexpected appeal… Sad.
This doesn’t stop the externalized effects of US internal policy from affecting the rest of the world.
But it does lessen it
I posted it to understand how it was affecting the rest of the world, and Europe in particular, not to make a reflection on wider US policy. So far I haven’t heard reactions from the UN, from the EU, from the governments of EU member states, or from the mayors of the cities that host these organisations.
International Lead and Zinc Study Group (Lisbon, Portugal)
They really want to replenish the lead generation.
Russia just won the Cold War.
I think China might be the actual winner there.
Yeah more like with their last breath Russia took the US down with them
If they don’t like the UN, maybe they should also give up their seat and their veto power on the security council?
If America had it’s way. There would be no UN and America would rule the world as an empire.
I would call it dumb, if it wasn’t deliberate sabotage.
Krasnov is a traitor.

IPCC … they withdraw from IPCC … sure, why not, wt$#&#&#@@$$$#&#&
The White House has become so untrustworthy that you can’t even believe that.
Believe what exactly?
The announcement. The source here is the official website of the white house. So you can’t trust this list unless the organizations mentioned confirm it.
It’s notable that the UN was formed in San Francisco, and is headquartered in New York City.
They gonna arrest them and deport them! May also bomb them, pick and choose situation./J
That’s a bit of a polemic comment. Nothing of this will happen. We are talking about 66 small organisations all over the world.
Speaking of the headquarters in NY. I forgot the “/J” fixed.
17 are EU-based.
Is there any discussion (anywhere!) on what this might imply for these Europe-based international organisations (funding, staffing, projects)?
Stephen Miller’s serpentine paws all over this one
I know, but my intention was not to have a debate on Stephen Miller (on which I have much to say but this is not the forum), but on the implications in Europe for this Europe-based international organisations. Nobody has written about this so far.
Many of these organisations, also funded by the EU or EU member states (17 are EU-based), are now suddenly in serious financial disarray. I doubt that the EU will react and these organisations are too small and too institutional to react much themselves. I know a couple of them (besides the IPCC, which we all know) and can confirm that they do great work.
