US Withdraws From 66 International Bodies, Keeps NATO, Thanks
While mainstream outlets like DW dutifully report Trump's 'America First' purge from dozens of international bodies – including the WHO, UN Human Rights Council, and the Paris Agreement – they rarely spotlight what remains untouched. Oddly, NATO, a cornerstone of Western military projection and a prime beneficiary of the military-industrial complex, was conspicuously left alone. One might wonder
if the 'national interest' here aligns perfectly with defense contractor profits. This selective disengagement appears to prioritize unilateral power projection and military alliances over multilateral diplomacy and humanitarian efforts. It’s a recurring pattern: when an organization might constrain US action or demand shared responsibility, it’s out. But when it serves as a lever for geopolitical
influence or arms sales, it's firmly in. Funny how that works, isn't it?
