I hope next president will reverse Trump’s damaging executive order.
I have a genius idea, how about the countries not $40T in debt pitch in?
This is like a bill arriving at the end of a big family dinner and everyone looks at the cousin with 37 credit cards and two bankruptcies
The countries who are supposedly preparing for the post dollar world should definitely go ahead and fund all these agencies with euros and yuan
I find it interesting that Trump is pulling the US out of a lot of world groups/charities/aid, and every time those agencies claim serious issues either keeping up, or even existing without US support. Where are all these other countries that supposedly care about these groups? Why are they not stepping in to foot the bill?
I thought they hated us and didn’t need us?
Global food crisis and inflation who would have thought
It’s ok, according to people on reddit it’s only takes a few billion dollars to solve world hunger, and since there are billionaires in countries other than the US they can get one of them to just fix the whole problems right? Maybe get a few to band together that’ll fix it right? I mean it doesn’t have to be the US right?
Even with the cuts the US is still the biggest donor. Other rich nations need to step up
>UN agencies and virtually all international humanitarian response NGOs and research organizations are struggling for funding as donors, notably but not only the U.S., have sharply reduced foreign assistance
But Reddit told me other countries would eagerly step up because this was an opportunity for easy soft power.
These comments are so fd up man. Are you all Russian bots or something?
Putin loves this . Trump is his best employee.
There are hungry people back home that need assistance, soft power be damned let China feed the world.
Ah yes the classic the U.S is a evil empire and its influence needs to be curbed on a global scale, but on the other hand please give us money because where too inept and corrupt to care for our people ourselves. The cancellation of U.S aid has shown our so called allies where really just in it for the money there was no relationship happening. But as always other countries should feel free to pick up that available soft power…unless they’re not because they know its not worth it in the long run.
This is going to be a doozy of a year. Largest El Nino ever recorded will wreak havoc on crops globally; oil prices and scarcity going to further strain food supplies (and all other products). That’s just the obvious stuff. The healthcare cuts for the Socialism for Billionaires tax cuts last year will hit Americans come January, with skyrocketing healthcare costs.
Hopefully, soon we will see how far the American worker must be pushed before they wake up and start coming together to fight for better living conditions. Hopefully, they will finally understand who is causing their lives to be this way. The rest of the world will see increased turmoil, as well. Hopefully, it won’t cause further slide into authoritarianism. Hopefully.
The US really becoming 1940s Spain ðŸ˜
Everything’s compounding all at once. The US’s aid cuts, Iran war, Ukraine war, diesel prices, climate change, and lack of fertilizer.
We’re losing more and more farmland each year as climate change worsens. Then we’ve got both Ukraine and Russia reducing their agricultural output because of their war(Fuck Russia, BTW). Then you have crop yields being much lower than expected in places like India due to the lack of rain and excessive heat.
Things are just going to keep worsening and since we’re a reactive species. Many are going to suffer far more than they should have to.
