"it may mark the beginning of a new global framework — one that reflects the realities and aspirations of the many, not just the few."

And this is another big neon sign telling the world that the U.S. is no longer the leader of the free world. The U.S. is fading from the world's stage now, and Trump is hastening that departure quickly.

I applaud these countries who've decided to stand up to the U.S. bullying finally. I hope to see more of it in the coming years.

Remember when the State Department was actually about diplomacy and wasn't just a big cheerleader for our never-ending wars and aggressions? At this point, it does precious little good for our country's relations with other countries.

Yeah, those days are gone. Trump has ripped the mask off of American diplomacy and bared the grinning skull underneath with no remorse.

"He reiterated a position long held by developing nations — that those most affected by the climate crisis must lead the global response. Lula proposed the creation of a United Nations Climate Change Council to centralize global climate governance, which is currently fragmented across multiple forums."

This is where Lula loses it and imperils the whole BRICS unity. "Climate change," which was originally called "global warming" is just being used to impoverish and control citizens' activities. However, when AI companies want to suck up massive amounts of water and electricity, no one mentions "climate change." This is how fraudulent this all is. The climate has always changed and the world will not end. Neither will we end the major use of fossil fuels in our lifetime. Developing countries do not need acres of solar cells and wind turbines. They need cheap power, fossil fuels. Get off your soapbox, Lula.

I have been a subscriber to WAF for a short while, having discovered it on youtube. I find now that in order to watch it on video, I must go back to youtube. I avoid youtube, because its sub is about $15/mo. If I am to support WAF AND youtube and the same for any other sub I support, I should soon exhaust my news budget. If I don't pay youtube, it interrupts its videos with an ad every couple of minutes or less. ICC regulation of the internet should forbid and fine youtube heavily for denying public access to the internet. My taxes to the DoD created the internet - given away by Washington, free of charge, to two major corporations. If they got it free, I should, certainly!
