Keep waiting, reading useless and pointless UN resolutions is not a hobby I have. I'm not against the UN, I think it's a needed organization, but this kind of pointless resolutions only makes it look bad and only feeds anti-UN positions within its biggest sponsor and host: the US.

So good luck with pointless resolutions aimed at the guy paying for the circus..

These resolutions are designed to make some countries look bad. Somewhere in the small print there's a point unacceptable for the US and Israel, so they vote against and newspapers world-wide can report on how US and Israel alone blocked the end of famine.

Oh you're definitely not a Jew. Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity like the Nazis argued. One can drop a religion as you clearly did.

You're justifying harassing Jews for being Jews.

Think about that.

Nah, we need them to defend Greenland, sorry Donald.

So its ok to require the same from Muslims everytime a terrorist attack happens or everytime a Muslim country sponsors genocide (like the UAE is doing in Sudan)?

What's the point of having kids in a future full of automation, drones, probably eles freedom and more war?

 

Seems timely considering gas prices.

If China is not global, neither is the US. No one touches each other's "backyards". The US had a treaty obligation to defend Ukraine from Russia and never did it (provide some weapons is not the same as actively defending a country).

Sure, but don't expect me to do any pressure to our politicians about standing for international law with a regime that would love to kill us and is helping to kill Ukrainians everyday. Not my war, washing my hands like Pilate.

We should, unfortunately we've been alone with that for too long. The world didn't care when Ukraine was invaded.. the international law is dead since then.

Oh I missed the part where Russia's allies critized their invasion of Ukraine. It's not, not only there's a growing rival, China, you have more mid-powers than ever before, from Pakistan and India, to Turkey or even Ethiopia.

 

Yurop music overdose.

It's not 1945 anymore, for long that the us is not hegemon, its relative power is smaller every year.

What’s the story?

U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed steep tariffs on several African nations and cut off almost all aid programmes. Lesotho, a small country in the south of the continent, has been hit hardest by these measures.

In recent decades, Lesotho responded to Western calls to industrialise, and built up a textile industry focused on exports to the United States. Now thousands of jobs are at risk and the government has declared a ‘‘state of disaster”.

Lesotho tried to appease Trump with a range of U.S.-friendly measures and proposals, including a quickly granted licence for Elon Musk’s internet provider Starlink. But these moves have made little impact in Washington and officials in the African country fear the damage has already been done.

Why does it matter?

Other potential partners are stepping in to fill the gap left by the United States. The EU is looking for allies in Africa, but China is already acting “quickly and aggressively” to forge ties, according to a government minister in Lesotho. The extreme events in Lesotho illustrate Trump’s increasingly erratic approach to foreign policy that is alienating even traditional allies across the world.

How was this investigated?

Follow the Money visited Lesotho and spoke with a minister, entrepreneurs, civil servants, NGO workers, diplomats, academics and journalists.

 

We report critically on Europe’s dependence on Big Tech – yet our own platform still relies heavily on U.S. systems. It’s time to change that. Together with De Correspondent, we’re phasing out U.S. technology and will document every step of the journey.
