Years of American-led investment into AIDS programs has reduced the number of people killed by the disease to the lowest levels seen in more than three decades and provided life-saving medicines for some of the world’s most vulnerable.
But in the last six months, the sudden withdrawal of U.S. money has caused a “systemic shock,” U.N. officials warned, adding that if the funding isn’t replaced, it could lead to more than 4 million AIDS-related deaths and 6 million more HIV infections by 2029.
A new UNAIDS report released Thursday said the funding losses have “already destabilized supply chains, led to the closure of health facilities, left thousands of health clinics without staff, set back prevention programs, disrupted HIV testing efforts and forced many community organizations to reduce or halt their HIV activities.”
Can someone please explain how the fuck US money was so crucial to global HIV testing that one Orange dipshit and his cronies destroyed decades of progress? Where is money from the rest of the world? How the fuck is one country the sole provider for this money?
The US dollar has been global reserve currency. The US greatly benefited from this arrangement, more or less it is why, for instance, boomers were able to buy a house on one wage.
The US took in far more than it laid out over various hard and soft power initiatives. These soft power initiatives, and US military spending are essential for a country whose currency is to be considered a safe haven for investors - it projects fairness, power etc.
Trump is withdrawing the US from this role of great privilege in order to try and compete with India and China in being the world’s factory, so it is inevitable it will end the concomitant mechanisms of soft power it employed in its former role as global reserve currency.
This is not a good deal for the average American; the rest of the world knows it is a crazy decision, the US voted for it a second time, when Trump was very clear on his intentions.
Your comment is far too sophisticated for the average Trump voter. From global reserve currency to soft power, these morons don’t understand any of that.
trump is doing it at the behest of putin, putin would like nothing more than having the USA isolated.
European countries are very selfish on the world stage.
Also why fund something when the US is footing the bill?
Lol, no, quite the opposite. The USA is just a large entity. Most European countries give more, but they do so individually, so its larger per population but each country is smaller.

The eu also donated up to a third of the USA amount, seperate to the individual country contributions. So take your racist crap elsewhere.
The cruelty is the point. The “global elite” have been talking about population reduction for years. Now they have someone in charge of the US who agrees with them. And that’s terrifying.
So?
