Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules.

In capturing President Nicolas Manduro of Venezuela, President Trump has for all intent and purposes given the greenlight to President Xi Jinping of China to takeover Taiwan by force. Brute force is the new currency of international order. And President Putin knew this all along
In light of the illegal regime change agenda pursued by the U.S. President, @realDonaldTrump, in Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife the time has come to confront an uncomfortable truth, this that the @UN has devolved into a ceremonial tea party, impotent, compromised, and largely irrelevant.

The UN should be dissolved and replaced with a truly credible coalition of nation-states one designed to serve humanity, uphold justice, and prevent tyranny, not legitimize it.
