  1. "Since 2016, Trump has withdrawn or announced plans to withdraw from multiple multilateral agreements and institutions. These include the Paris Agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the Treaty on Open Skies, among others. In addition, the second Trump administration has announced its intention to withdraw from the World Health Organization and quit UNESCO again.

    Then there are Trump’s planned cuts to the U.N. budget. Most prominent is his slashing of $800 million from U.N. peacekeeping operations, which involves funds already appropriated by Congress. While the administration has agreed to provide some targeted funding for specific peacekeeping missions it supports, such as those in Haiti, Lebanon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, its broader cuts have led the U.N. to reduce its global peacekeeping force by 25 percent. Trump is also withholding Washington’s mandatory contributions, leading to estimates that his total cuts to the U.N. budget will amount to more than $2 billion. As a result, the U.N. is now looking at slashing its budget by more than $500 million and cutting nearly 20 percent of its staff.
    Ironically, while Trump is publicly demanding a Nobel Peace Prize, he is undercutting U.N. peacekeeping, which, despite its flaws, has been instrumental in easing conflicts and saving lives.
    But this destruction is not the full story. Even as Trump cements the United States’ reputation as the world’s absentee- or defector-in-chief, international cooperation has survived. We are now seeing rising powers rebuff Trump’s tariffs and threats, often using multilateral forums such as BRICS, the G-20, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as mechanisms to do so."

  6. "Despite Trump's infatuation with fossil fuels, Venezuelan oil may not be a good investment, especially now that wind and solar energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.

    Trump's war is illegal, unwise, immoral and a waste of money. It harms both Venezuela and the United States."

  8. #MissKittyPolitics #AI #Research No #surveyor says that their #electronic level is smarter than they are. AI is just a black box electronic level. It's not smarter than you; it's fast, but It can't even doubt itself. A serious deficiency. Maybe one the worst. I am sure that there are far better...

  9. #MissKittyPolitics An interesting thread by @[email protected]! Thank you! 😺 I don't know that much history so this box is as good as any. Any reliance upon an institution, whether it be virtual or constitutional, should be based upon personal actions and interactions. To say that the hammer...

  10. #MissKittyPolitics This is how #stupid #oil is. Every single #horsepower that has come from oil production is what ladies and gentlemen? Sixth graders used to answer it better than you.🤯🤯🤯 Legacy #solar. Think it through. The sun grew the plants, they got buried and turned into oil. Solar. ⏪⏪⏪

  11. #MissKittyPolitics I am not going to even try and do some of the research I used to do until I get some other things done. So I'll just give you my opinion without any backup. The #pollution caused by #oil #production and product creation is exponentially worse than #AI data centers. EXPONENTIALLY!

  12. #MissKittyPolitics #AI #research can just be so brain dead. It helped me with some numeric limits that I won't even come close to anymore. I probably pressed on those more than a few times. I definitely was #transactionally suspended a few times. I could still read things. I had no idea.

  17. #MissKittyPolitics A #revolution is a #fundamental #change in political, social, or economic structures. Most people equate revolution with #violence and that is an #error. The only REAL change comes when there's not more damage done by the change than any good that the change can provide.

  18. #JV #Vance says the quiet part out loud thinking he was praising #Kirk at today's memorial service in AZ:

    "I have prayed more in the past week than I have in my entire life thanks to [the assassination of] #CharlieKirk."

    Translation: "I'm a nucking hypocrite."

    These people are CLEARLY exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk for personal gain, and the rubes either haven't noticed or just don't care.
