    Under Trump, as well as refusing to make mandatory payments to the U.N.'s regular and peacekeeping budgets, the U.S. has slashed voluntary funding to U.N. agencies with their own budgets, and moved to exit U.N. organizations including the World Health Organization.

    If I fasten my tinfoil hat on, I’d say that this is all going according to plan: The U.S. gets kicked out of the U.N. The U.N. is (financially) destabilized and is unable to focus on developing its sovereignty from U.S. Big Tech and focus on having the military support it needs. Meanwhile, hostile actors are at its boarders waiting to pounce.

      The Board of Peace has one veto, controlled by a single country. And when I say country I mean person. And when I say person I mean the chairman. And the chairman is Donald Trump.

        Oh, that’s not true /s.

        I’m sure anyone can buy the chairman’s veto/vote. For each policy, it’ll be auctioned like on eBay. … a perfect reflection of our modern world /s.

      Yes, Trump is the useful idiot for those gangsters and warhawks.
