Oh yeah, Trump is such a skillful statesman and leader of the free world. "Leader of the free world".

Yeh, if he even thinks for a minute, for a second even that he is the "leader of the free world" just because he's got more nukes and generals with itchy trigger fingers at his disposal of which I really think he does, then we need to get his ass thrown out of office much sooner than later. This fvcker is going to start some shit the same way Bush and Cheney did and this shithead is going to find out the same way Bush and Cheney did that if you're going to start some shit you have to be able to finish it before too many lives are lost. And in my book as far as Trump is concerned, if he's going to kick the war machine into gear he better be leading it from the very tip of the spear with his Versace designer boots being the first to hit the ground at the very front where he can understand how precious and valuable a single life really is.....well, besides his own that is.
 
This is all for the best in the end. We have a shitty foreign policy and the world does better when America loses geopolitically.

Am I the only one who thinks that cutting funding to the UN might be for the purpose of making it harder for the UN to respond to aggressive action by Russia? He's pretty much proven his intent is to do the bidding of papa Putin.

Everything he does helps Russia. Nobody knows why though.

They are, by far, the primary beneficiaries of the continued US pullback. Squandering huge amount of influence and getting basically nothing in return is going to be quite the accomplishment.
 
I was reading somewhere that China is actually far better at foreign aid than US. They help poor countries build infrastructure to improve their own conditions in the long run, whereas US usually just provides food aid (primarily benefiting US producers) and other temporary assistance.

It's just childish vindictiveness & grandstanding for the base. When Donald doesn't get what he wants he throws a tantrum.

Nope, I think that as well. Trump is either being played by Putin according to plan or trump is a willing participant. One of Russia's goals is to weaken the UN and when it doesn't have the backing of the US then its severely limited.

MAGA= Making America go away

I see that as a better exchange than the one going on currently where the west just bribes the local guy in power.
