The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the UN’s population agency and the UN treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the US further retreats from global cooperation.
Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending US support for 66 organizations, agencies and commissions following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the UN, according to a White House statement on social media.
Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labor and other issues that the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives.
On average, empires last about 250 years. Guess how old the US will be in July…
I don’t consider it an 'Empire", it’s basically England continued under a different name. Time for the U.S. of A. to rejoin Europe, as well as England admitting it made a mistake leaving the EU. Include also New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Argentine, Chile. When the smoke clears, include Ukraine and Russia. Drop all the artificial boarders, they’ve become nonsensical in an era of the Internet/Smartphones and cheap airline travel.
cheap airline travel
Because we don’t carbon tax.
And we don’t carbon tax because all those places don’t work together for the common good of all.
And lumping all those together with the current systems of democracy where citizens get a vague say once every four years and every major corporation gets a say on every single law before it gets passed, will lead to and even bigger Empire that will fail even bigly-er.
fuck yes
England
So like the British empire?
If it’s England continued under another name, is it not then still the English Empire?
We really turned down Kamala for all this huh?
But Palestine! Think how how much better Trump has been for Palestine! Just look!
\S
You finally getting punished for all the evil your country did in the world. Trump is a result of the two party system that americans was always supporting for 2 centuries
Trump is everyone’s problem my guy
everyone is getting punished. I don’t think it’s another case of “exceptionalism” to state that this affects the world. Especially this.
Yeah, if nothing else right wing extremists are getting pointers from the US on how to take over their own countries.
It’s like saying melanoma is only a problem for your skin. Sure, for a bit, but it’ll eventually metastasize.
They’ve been getting that for decades now, pretty much after they changed their approach after Vietnam.
The contras part of the Iran/Contras scandal was about this in Nicuragua. CIA preferred the rightwing group that massacred whole villages over the lefwing group that had gotten power (though to be fair this conflict got pretty brutal on both sides, as can happen when one side is massacring entire villages).
They had/have a school for training this kind of shit, too. Forget the name, but Behind the Bastards has talked about it several times.
Used to be called “The School of the Americas” but apparently they rebranded as “The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation “

Lmk where you hail from so I can calculate your karmic debt you weird fuck lmao
fuck you and your shitty country
💜 I’m sure you, your family, bloodline, and country are all flawless you fucking joke of a human
My country is no perfect. My country didn’t destroy multiple countries and backed dozens of coups in the world though. F the united snakes again
I would suggest moving to lemmy.ml and browsing subs from .ml there they will agree with you. Also curious what country?
Pretty sure the rest of the world is also still getting hurt by the current shit…
just imagine what if kamala was the president
Guys, it hasn’t even been a year yet. It’s going to get way worse than this.
If y’all don’t do something about it, it certainly will.
It’s starting to look an awful lot like waiting for the midterms is not an option.
Not enough people are affected yet. Once people start starving en masse, we’ll see more movement.
Uniting the world against America
Make America Alone Again. Coincidentally, that acronym sounds like a reasonable onomatopoeia for the bleating of sheep.
This is actually good news. It means they will no longer be meddling in the affairs of grownups.
I think there may be something to this. Imagine all the work they’ll be able to get done now.
It’s already happening. US skipped the last UN climate summit in Brazil last year and it was the most productive meeting yet because the US wasn’t there to derail everything into whatever their corporations want.
If I was running for president in the next 30 years I would offer to deliver this man and each of his tv host cronies to the hague, hog tied, after their trials here concluded.
ok bye
