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.

England

So like the British empire?

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If it's England continued under another name, is it not then still the English Empire?

Uniting the world against America

Guys, it hasn't even been a year yet. It's going to get way worse than this.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Make America Alone Again. Coincidentally, that acronym sounds like a reasonable onomatopoeia for the bleating of sheep.

We really turned down Kamala for all this huh?

[–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

But Palestine! Think how how much better Trump has been for Palestine! Just look!

\S

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.
