I didn't say be weak.

Pity anyone that sees kindness as weakness.

I just said be better. The bigger man.

We have the guns. Nobody wants to test that. We have the no quit American spirit. Nobody wants to test that.

Just be the caring big brother that no one fricks with is all

Umm. I think that was his point. When you are THE superpower you have to be a beacon of hope and offer assistance.

America can be a self sufficient country.

But to cause ripples in an unsteady lake is unnecessary. Call out other leadership and demand change in policy. But to wave your dick around and just pull out is juvenile.

Only babies are unwilling to compromise

You've summed up the US's failed negotiation tactics with international organizations over the past 25 years. It does absolutely no good to have the biggest hammer when everyone knows you'll never swing it.

What happened when Germany constantly refused to fulfill their NATO funding obligations? Nothing.

Trump came in and said he was getting rid of their cushy tariff deal with the US as well as pulling our bases out of Germany. Well, lo and behold, look who started ponying up the Deutsche Marks.

A world wide team of scientists scares you


No, I'm not scared. I'm pissed at a team of corrupt scientists who 1) refuse to demand transparency from authoritarian nations like China; 2) spend more money on travel expenses than on disease prevention and eradication; and 3) fabricate charges of racism to distract the world from that fact that the Taiwanese leadership that has been remarkably successful in battling a worldwide pandemic.

Link re: scandalous travel expenses

The WHO has been corrupt as hell for a long time. It's just now being exposed as a fraud.

Their only purpose for existence is to look after the world’s health and yet they directly contributed to turning a local outbreak into a global pandemic.

What they did would be like the fire department showing up to put out a house fire and spraying gasoline on the fire instead of water.

And you want to continue to give them millions? Help me understand your logic.

That was an example of swinging nuts for past poor deals.

This is a NOW epidemic.

Lord knows past presidential years have squandered opportunities to keep ahead and have been pussies.

But this is a different beast. I'm not opposed to trump bulldozing his way through past bullshite.

But in this moment.. with this first time for everyone event.. lead with a little more tact

There is no compromise to be made with pathologically dishonest governments that won’t absolutely make you complicit in said pathological dishonesty.

The WHO compromised with China. How many people are dead now because of that?

Or the fact that they accepted China’s lies as fact and then fed them to the world.

THEN, they praised China afterwards.

The WHO is a fricked organization.

We should absolutely freeze all money until they, at minimum replace the head guy, who, by the way, covered over and was involved in genocides in Africa.

The only reason he is the head of the WHO is China.

The fact that this largely symbolic gesture is being talked about by the people it’s being talked about essentially proves the fact that is just fodder for trump’s political base.

It’s not going to make any difference to anything in the near term and whether they get more money in 2021 will be settled by the election.

This is just a stunt.

An investigation into their handling of this situation is certainly warranted but this dramatic gesture does nothing in the short to medium term other than generate talking points on Fox News.

So... you obviously won't compromise with our government?

Because, trust me friend, they've been very dishonest with you.

It still baffles me how they've accepted the data that only 80,000 people in China contracted the kung flu
