#17  Let US find out who Our Friends really are.

And, there are other plans and evidence to change anything now. Especially the Un-Just.

#16  BTW, per Fox - Haley is holding a reception Jan 3rd for those nation's ambassadors that abstained, didn't vote or voted with us. I think it's a message to the others

#14  ...Cut our payments by 50% for one month for every nation that voted for us.

I suspect they might come around right quickly.

#11  NATO is basically over. Once the Germans shifted over to dependance on Russian gas defending them against Russia because virtually impossible. Beyond that France and England are overrun and unwilling to really come to terms with it, Turkey is supporting hostile actors within Europe, and Greece is a third world nation and doesn't know it yet.

USA should craft a deal with the Commonwealth and a few others and replace NATO and the UN in one swoop.

#7  The Poles and the Latvians seem to have a better grasp of geography than the Estonians and the Lithuanians.

IMO, it's not so much a matter of geography as Donald-graphy: The Poles and the Latvians understand that the Don is tired of USA being meals-on-wheels to most of the world’s nasty little third-world despotisms, and Estonians and the Lithuanians don't.

#6  a/k/a Your Guide to US Foreign Aid in 2018.

Some interesting choices there. The Poles and the Latvians seem to have a better grasp of geography than the Estonians and the Lithuanians.
