It looks like it was generated by Grokkk, wouldn’t be surprised tbh.
trump rewarded her by pretending to forget her name
I don’t think he was pretending, no one besides a few gusanos and USians politicians care about her or know her name.
The logo of Trump’s UN thing (Board of Peace) is basically the UN logo but with the US in the middle.
Bolivia’s neoliberal regime decided to block Telesur and RT’s tv signal in Bolivia for some reason.
China sends 30,000 tonnes of rice to Cuba The first batch of rice from China’s emergency food aid project to Cuba was handed over on Monday. Meanwhile, the second batch has already arrived at Santiago de Cuba port, with further batches to follow soon.
María Corina Machado is now lobbying for the US to bomb Nicaragua (I guess now they remember that Nicaragua exists) and Cuba. She’s saying LatAm needs to be free of “Narcos and Communism”. In a few days she became one of the most irrelevant persons in all of LatAm, I guess now she’s just trying to keep her job as a disseminator of American propaganda.

Why has Donald Trump withdrawn the US from the World Health Organization? - Sky News
Article
Experts have warned the US withdrawal could seriously weaken the world’s defences against diseases, as it would put a massive dent in the WHO’s resources.
A year ago, Donald Trump signed an order to remove the US from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The US president singled the WHO executive order out as a “big one” as he signed it alongside 100+ others upon his return to the White House.
The US has now seen out a mandatory one-year notice period, meaning it has officially withdrawn from the WHO.
What was Mr Trump’s rationale for leaving and what impact could it have?
What reasons has Trump given for wanting to leave the WHO?
Mr Trump, who also tried to leave the WHO in his first term, has suggested cost-cutting is the main reason for ending its membership.
“World Health ripped us off, everybody rips off the United States. It’s not going to happen anymore,” Trump said at the signing last year.
WHO is funded through both obligatory and voluntary contributions from governments and other donors in its 193 member states. The obligatory contributions are calculated according to a country’s wealth and population, and fluctuate annually.
The US government’s grievances over payments took up a significant portion of the executive order, with the opening section claiming “WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries’ assessed payments”.
It continued: “China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300 percent of the population of the United States, yet contributes nearly 90 percent less to the WHO.”
But before the mention of money, there came a hefty criticism of the WHO’s handling of the COVID pandemic and other global health crises, with the executive order claiming it failed to “adopt urgently needed reforms” and showed an “inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states”.
As well as the WHO, the Trump administration announced on 7 January plans to withdraw from 35 international and 31 United Nations (UN) entities.
Explaining the decision, a White House memo stated Mr Trump had “prioritised American interests by redirecting focus and resources toward domestic priorities such as infrastructure, military readiness, and border security, and acting swiftly to protect American companies from foreign interference”.
It was previously reported that the US had to meet its financial obligations to the WHO for the 2024-25 fiscal year before leaving.
NPR has reported that the US owed $228m (£169m), but that it hadn’t paid as of 20 January. Sky News has contacted the Trump administration for comment.
What impact could the withdrawal have?
Experts have warned it could weaken the world’s defences against dangerous new outbreaks capable of triggering pandemics, because the US has historically been among its biggest donors and has provided it with hundreds of staffers with specialised public health expertise.
The US has given the WHO about $160m to $815m every year for the past decade, contributing to its yearly budget of about $2bn to $3bn.
Because of this, experts say losing the country’s support could cripple numerous global health initiatives, including the effort to eradicate polio, maternal and child health programmes, and research to identify new viral threats.
Dr Tom Frieden, president and CEO of the US advocacy group Resolve to Save Lives, explained in a statement: "Withdrawing from WHO not only cuts crucial funding from the agency, but it also surrenders our role as a global health leader and silences America’s voice in critical decisions affecting global health security.
“Real reform requires engagement, not abandonment. We cannot make WHO more effective by walking away from it. This decision weakens America’s influence and increases the risk of a deadly pandemic.”
Lawrence Gostin, director of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Global Health Law at Georgetown University, warned the WHO losing American resources would devastate its global surveillance and epidemic response efforts.
“It would make it more likely that we could see novel diseases spinning out of control, crossing borders, and potentially sparking a pandemic,” he said.
How has the WHO responded?
In a statement released after Mr Trump signed the order, the WHO said: "WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.
"The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board.
"For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership of WHO.
"With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past seven years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.
“We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and wellbeing of millions of people around the globe.”
Sky News contacted the WHO for comment ahead of the US’ official departure.
Jair Bolsonaro (the father, the one in the hospital) lost all his political rights around 2023, if I remember correctly, because he planned a coup and ordered the deaths of several Supreme Court judges, Lula da Silva, and Vice President Geraldo Alckmin. He was then arrested in late 2025 after a lengthy trial by the Supreme Court. At first, he was only under house arrest, but after he tried to escape and Trump said something ambiguous about having a “surprise for Bolsonaro,” the Federal Police (basically Brazil’s FBI) decided it would be better to keep him in a cell at the Federal Police headquarters (basically an apartment). Bolsonaro then began acting out in the hospital and crying, until this month he fell out of bed after complaining about the noise from the air conditioner. The Supreme Court decided it would be better to send him to a federal prison where he could interact with other high-profile inmates, as Bolsonaro complained of feeling “lonely.”
Why did he constantly complain about irrelevant nonsense? Who knows, maybe he wanted to say that he was being tortured by federal police officers or some nonsense like that. Trump no longer cares about Bolsonaro; the Trump administration has shown that it prefers to focus on manipulating a popular government (as in Venezuela) rather than changing the regime.
I guess Europe just gave up?
Thats his son, Bolsoanro doesn’t have any political rights anymore. Besides polls are meanless, people just say whatever.
“Global Southification”: EU economies continue to stagnate with no GDP growth, industry lags behind the US and China, inefficient multiparty parliamentary democracies with parties in “divided coalitions”, political entities that have ruled for decades collapsing overnight, etc. Acceptance of decline. In some ways the UK is here
Europe becoming Argentina 2
So Trump invited a group of world leaders to join his “Board of Peace in Gaza.” He invited Lula, Lukashenko, Milei, Putin, Xi, etc. Surprisingly, Azerbaijan rejected it (I guess because Armenia was also invited). France also rejected it, but Trump threatened to sanction them for doing so. Vietnam and Belarus agreed to join.
When he thought he had won the election, his first measures were to “end communism” (Xiomara’s democratic socialist goverment) and break relations with Venezuela (he probably even offered the United States the use of Honduran air bases).
Then, when it became clear that the army and the local elite had sided with the National Party, he began to cry and say that someone was lying to Trump, and he kept trying to tell Trump that he was not a communist and that even Bukele liked him (???). And then he rejected the offer from the LIBRE party (the Zelayas’ socialist party) to use Congress to block the inauguration and call for a recount. Instead, he began blaming both Libre and the National Party, and also announced that he will run again in 2032.
They are literally blaming Putin for this btw, everything now is Putin or Iran’s fault for some reason.
I guess no one cares, but the lib loser trump bootlicker who lost to Trump’s narconservative candidate, Salvador Nasralla, is to this day still crying on twitter and is no longer begging Trump to change his mind. Now he wants the US congress to do something.
463 apartments were damaged in the attacks of January 3rd. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez announced, during a visit to Fort Tiuna, that all of them will be repaired. Regarding the sovereign wealth funds, she indicated that the first fund will be for social protection. “Any income derived from oil and gas reserves will go towards workers’ income, health, education, and housing programs. The second sovereign wealth fund will be for public services and infrastructure: water, gas, electricity, and roads.”
She stated that there will be a technological platform that will make the use of these funds completely transparent, in order to address social inequalities and inequities. These funds will be available to the people once the dividends from oil sales begin to be received. “We will keep the public informed about the amount in the fund. The sovereign people have a right to know, and we will also report how the sovereign wealth funds will be spent in the areas we have mentioned.”
The German military contingent leaves Greenland after completing its “reconnaissance mission”
MADRID, 18 (EUROPA PRESS) The 15 German military personnel deployed to Greenland on a “reconnaissance mission” have left the Arctic territory less than a day after US President Donald Trump announced the imposition of additional tariffs on European countries deployed on the island, including Germany, after interpreting their presence there as a threat to his annexation attempts.
A spokesman for the German Army has confirmed to the DPA news agency and the newspaper ‘Der Spiegel’ the withdrawal of the 15 soldiers, who are already on their way to the Danish capital, Copenhagen. Although sources from the newspaper ‘Bild’ indicated that the withdrawal of the military occurred without prior notice after remaining deployed on the island for less than 48 hours, the spokesman told DPA that the withdrawal is due to a natural dynamic.
The mission has been completed and the results of this “reconnaissance” will be “analyzed in the coming days” without at any time linking the decision to Trump’s threat. In fact, in a joint statement published this Sunday, Germany and the other seven countries sanctioned by Trump (Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom) defend the mission and stress that their military presence in Greenland is to support Denmark and that “it does not pose a threat to anyone.”
“As NATO members, we want to strengthen security in the Arctic, a shared transatlantic interest. The coordinated Danish ‘Arctic Resilience’ exercises conducted with allies respond to this need. They pose no threat to anyone,” the eight countries explained. In the statement, the eight express their “full solidarity” with the Kingdom of Denmark and the people of Greenland and mention the dialogue process opened last week “based on the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that we firmly support.”
So Trump made a framework for his Greenland Deal, and he bragged about getting stuff for free from the Euros?
