Trump Stops Payment to WHO

[forkup]

And they will. Along with influence.

Is that a good thing?

Influence at the WHO? Seems like the Chinese already have the ear of the top people there and are
getting their way right now. Let them pay for it then.

Trump has long been trying to cut funding to WHO and other international organizations.

What people don’t realize is along with funding comes a great deal of influence, including with WHO.

What are going to do when TrumpAmerica suddenly decides they don’t like something and the international community says “so what”?

So you admit you want to buy friends?

I am not a nation.

But you obviously think buying friends is the way to go!

Buying friends is preferable to shooting enemies in my book. Even the Romans understood that concept.

 

[Polishprince]

This is incredibly short sighted on so many fronts.

For example, every time we withdraw our presence from world organizations, we give space to China to come in and exert it’s influence. We cut back on charitable funding or actions that internationally, China ups it, one of these days you are going to wonder how in the hell China got to be so powerful?

Fine. Let THEM go broke.

America just hasn't been getting a return on our considerable investment in the WHO.

President Trump's actions here remind me of the Tremendous Speech to the UN by the late, great Foreign Relations Chair, Jesse A. Helms. Sen. Helms laid it on the line 20 years ago, and I was really impressed when I saw it, and thought that Helms should have entered the Presidential race that year after hearing it. He explained the viewpoint of Americans precisely.

Trump announces US will halt funding to World Health Organization over coronavirus response

President Trump announced at the White House coronavirus news briefing on Tuesday that the United States will immediately cut all funding for the World Health Organization (WHO), saying it had put "political correctness over lifesaving measures."

The United States will stand on it's own two feet. We need China for a fucking thing.

In the middle of a world pandemic.

Brilliant.

Not.

Our first responsibility is to OUR OWN.

Really, so the WHO started issuing warnings in January. Warning that circulated in the administration since then. So how do you suggest "our own" will be made aware in a timely way whenever there's a new virus somewhere in the world? You do know that the WHO is the only organization that is equipped to do so?

"the WHO started issuing warnings in January"

Oh... you mean when they said there was nothing to worry about?

But Trump took action anyways...

...and all the media bobble-heads labeled him a racist.


Don't remember that? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

 

[okfine]

Was anybody surprised. Any time you hear those famous words, like "looking into it" right after "why should we pay for that... they have been ripping us off"

There is your celebrated cue to give praise to anything that devil does. Not me.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I don't see how anyone other than Trump humpers can consider this a good move during a global pandemic.

Because it is not OUR job to take care of sovereign states. Let them handle their own shit.

I hope the UN & NATO are next on the chopping block.

You're another Trump humper though. How can anyone OTHER than Trump humpers consider this a good move?

Trump humpers are just going to praise Trump for anything he does. What about someone who doesn't lick Trump's boots? What will they think? Don't answer that because it doesn't apply to you.

Your TDS is showing.

I wonder if you guys will ever realize how retarded you look reciting the same catch-phrases every opportunity you get. Do you think it makes you look smart?

Oh well. Thanks for your super helpful and original thought on this matter.

No problem. Seek help for that TDS though.

Rump is getting read to dump the Good Dr. it appears. I guess you needed to make a suitable replacement.

Here's an extensive list of all the fucks I give:

Enjoy the 4 years off come November. The old Spanish Flu was thought to be conained but in about 6 months, it came back and really slaughtered millions. It's already known that you can catch Covid-19, get over it and then catch it again. Just saw that on the News today of the first recorded death of someone that it happened to. The problem we had in 1918 was there was a World War going on and the Spanish Flu had to take a temporary back seat. It wasn't handles stupid, it was just a series of tragic events. Meanwhile, we have Rump and your bunch wanting to kill more people. The count is up to over 24,000 deaths attributed to the Covid-19 Virus and there is a good chance it's going to hit over 100,000 even with the social distancing. I guess your bloodlust isn't sated quite yet.

From the locations that are hot spots it's hitting Democrats hard. Ho hum.

And you are obviously a retard for interpreting that way, but I don’t hold that against you.

Are you a former flower child who thinks the world is all sunshine and honey? That nations all strive to do what’s best for the world?

If so, you are in for a rude awakening.

So maybe ewe can explain why withholding the money is a bad thing?

About time we actually stopped going in debt to fund the rest of the world

The responsibility of the United States to honor its legitimate agreements

Trump suspending it's funding to the WHO reminds you of a speech that had this as one of its 3 points? The same guy who reneged on the Paris accord and the Iran treaty? I think you misunderstood an important part of what Helms was trying to say.

That's why Rome fell and was looted by those who shot enemies.

Loisianna is now a hotspot. it's spread to their rural areas. Look what it took to get Florida to start doing something. There are Deep Red States that aren't doing a thing but time will cram it down their throats one by one. While the Virus is building Democrats, the Virus is killing republicans. If that is your plan, it's working.

We pay far more than any other country to WHO.
WHO should have been non partisan, and they weren't during a huge moment when
the world needed them the most. As TRump always said..."YOUR FIRED".

Did you read that email? It was in your link. It was nothing more than a warning a seemingly novel virus was being reported. So what actions you believe the WHO can take on the basis of that e-mail considering they are dependant on the information that the host countries give (in this case China).

Same question.

Same question. The link I referred too was the e-mail from Taiwan.

There were red flags with the way the government was handling the news, and WHO dismissed Taiwan.

 

[okfine]

Trump was happy enough with the WHO while he was industriously downplaying the virus threat. Once he started to take some heat - - ka-thump, ka-thump! Under the bus. He's not making a policy decision, he's deflecting.

Hey, look! Over there! It's the evil WHO!

Boogieman Boys that Trump and crew.

They say something like "How come you're President?" and "Who's fucking side are you on?"

 

[Meister]

What I find interesting is that the liberals are giving WHO a pass for not verifying in a timely manner,
but, hold Trumps feet to the fire for not doing something much earlier. Where's does the grace begin and end people?

Don't remember that? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

What you remember seems to be a little bit distorted. Coronavirus not a global health crisis, WHO says; China reports 8 more deaths, restricts 18M people This article clearly states it is a snapshot and not a declaration that Covid-19 isn't serious. The wording in the article,
Tedros, who made the final decision, said WHO is "following the outbreak every minute of every day" and could decide to declare a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC.

Such declarations can result in more resources made available to combat outbreaks but also can spur restrictions on trade and travel.

"This should not be taken as a sign that WHO does not think the situation is serious or that we’re not taking it seriously," Tedros said.

That's the problem with all you guys. All you have is talking points but absolutely no intellectual honesty.

What specifically can the WHO do? They have an e-mail from Taiwan but no way to verify it. So what is your suggestion?

Trump announces 'halt' in US funding to World Health Organization amid coronavirus pandemic

Trump has accused the World Health Organization of not moving quickly to sound the alarm over coronavirus and of being too China friendly.

news.yahoo.com

They didn't do their job. When they stop being political, instead of health organisation, maybe they should get funding.
