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.

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 “
