On January 7, US president Donald Trump promised to withdraw the US from 35 international organizations and 31 UN agencies:

The Memorandum orders all Executive Departments and Agencies to cease participating in and funding 35 non-United Nations (UN) organizations and 31 UN entities that operate contrary to U.S. national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty.

Unverified: then the White House deleted the announcement from their website (personal note: I did receive 404 on it for a while).

Correction: announcement is still up or has reappeared. An archived copy is also available in case they change their mind.

    This is the year boys.

    If there’s something particular you want to do during peace time, do it know, soon it’ll be Sudan and Ukraine everywhere.

    The White House did not immediately respond when asked for further details and a list of the organizations.

    Silver lining, it was probably only 3-5…

    Correction of facts: the announcement is still up or has reappeared, though it was inaccessible for a while, enough for some journalists to provide an archived copy.

    Personal opinion:

    • diagnosis: raging delirium / stable genius syndrome
    • prognosis: at this level of progression, ritual suicide within 18 months
