US challenging rules-based international order: EU president
2018-06-09
[PRESSTV] The European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
president, Donald Tusk, has expressed worries that US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is in fact threatening the rules-based international order established in the wake of the Cold War by his attempts to break or renegotiate a number of international agreements.

"It is evident that the American president and the rest of the group continue to disagree on trade, climate change and the Iran nuclear deal," Tusk said at a presser ahead of the 44th G7 summit in the Canadian town of La Malbaie, north of Quebec, on Friday.

In June last year, Trump announced that he would pull his country out of the 2015 global agreement to fight climate change, known as the Gay Paree Agreement, characterizing the move as "a reassertion of American illusory sovereignty", drawing at the time rebuke from Democrats at home and world leaders who had pressed him not to abandon the 197-nation accord.

The American leader, on May 8, also walked away from the landmark nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was reached between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the United States, Britannia, La Belle France, Russia and China - plus Germany.

He further vowed to reinstate US nuclear sanctions on Iran and impose "the highest level" of economic bans on the Islamic Theocratic Republic. His controversial decision faced criticism from the EU and the other signatories of the historic deal.

#9  Yes, EUnochs, we are threatening the rules-based international order. And we will continue doing so. And go ahead, buy oil from those who will destroy you, if you are stupid enough.

#8  Yeah, basically. Zeihan explains America has a sweet spot on the planet and globalists are keen to confiscate our wealth and use it to fund their world government plan. That was basically the Paris Agreement. Likewise TPP would have been the stake in the heart of our most vulnerable people, by putting them in direct competition with nations like Thailand. Thus with such monumental bribes of our money, other nations would not be in a position to say no when a global government would be formed. It was a frighteningly real plan and look for them to try it again after Trump leaves office.

#6  If Oblahblah wanted to bind the US he would've made these treaties. Which can still be broken when the other side cheats. Fuck off, EU

#5  This "new world order" started just about 30 years ago IIRC.

We are following the Golden Rule, that's all.

This bozo seems to think we're playing Monopoly and everyone gets the same stack of bills.

Nope.

We just changed the rules, that's all.

#1  Because this "order" was a precursor to one world government. Luckily the Americans saw through it and elected a man to put an end to it.

The entire point of this "order" was to make horrible deals that screwed America over to bribe other countries to join the globalist system. That's right, we not only cripple our own people but we get to pay for the whole thing. Then after all is said and done, America bows before the UN or successor international organization and surrenders its sovereignty, to become an overtaxed province of a distant government.

Thank God for President Trump.
