Adapt, shrink or die’: US overhauls UN aid with $2 billion ultimatum
Story by Mike Jenkins • 15h

The United States and the United Nations signaled a major shift in how American taxpayer dollars will flow to global humanitarian efforts on Monday, signing a landmark agreement that officials say will prioritize efficiency over bureaucracy.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by the U.S. Department of State and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), launches what is being called a "Humanitarian Reset." The deal fundamentally changes the mechanism of U.S. funding, moving away from individual project grants toward consolidated "pooled fund vehicles."
 
According to the State Department, the United States will pledge an initial $2 billion "anchor commitment" for 2026. While the contribution aims to support tens of millions of people facing hunger and war, the administration framed the agreement as a necessary corrective to a UN system it views as bloated and ideologically drifted.

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Louis D. Brandeis

So, instead of having to steal on a project-by-project basis, UN officials will now be able to steal it all at once, upfront.  Why is Trump facilitating UN corruption?

Africa used to be a continent with 200 million starving retards.  Now, after foreign aid, it is a continent with 1.3 billion starving retards.

The aid would be better spent sending Americans to teach the population how to dig wells, farm and establish a legal system.

The UN should be abolished and if not that told to move. Get the USA out of the UN!
Why vote for Republicans if they won't do what they said they would do.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, in 2023, for instance the UN got 11 billion. Gee, the reduction might be enough to replace the Somali fraud grift...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
