"If the United States starves the [United Nations] system, the system doesn’t die; it answers to whoever remains. China’s assessed share of the regular budget is now roughly one-fifth, with a similar slice of peacekeeping."

Horse figurines served as offerings in sanctuaries or domestic shrines and occasionally as grave goods. Their use and meaning shift depending on context but reflect associations with status/wealth or the wish for safe passage and protection of the deceased.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"When Trump stood before the United Nations and declared, 'Your countries are going to hell,' what he really revealed was his own prophecy: it’s America that’s circling the drain. Not because of migrants, not because of wind turbines, but because we’ve allowed a President with a grudge and a microphone to torch decades of credibility in exchange for a punchline."

Trump's United Nations Speech: Read Full Text Transcript

in reply to William Lindsey • • •I've been bothered by the fact that that speech - as his others - is now entered into the historical record for future historians, students, researchers, and LLM engineers to scrape and re-use. What an embarrassment!
At the same time, I'm more bothered that 'the record' may contain only what his speech writers put on paper, and not his verbal meanderings, gaffes, and mis-locutions. Future historians really ought to have to look at and use the words we heard as he spoke them, not any sanitized or corrected versions.
This is all assuming that enough humans survive for there to be historians in the future.
