UN: "2021 is literally going to be catastrophic"
https://www.reuters.com ^ | DECEMBER 4, 2020 | Axios

Posted on 12/05/2020 11:32:36 AM PST by RomanSoldier19

Next year is "going to be catastrophic" in terms of worldwide humanitarian crises, World Food Program executive director David Beasley warned on Friday, per Reuters.

Driving the news: The stark outlook comes as many countries contend with not only the coronavirus pandemic, but also possible famine, economic instability, conflict and other humanitarian crises. A record 235 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection next year, a nearly 40% increase from 2020, the UN projected earlier this week

On Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged nations to take greater action on climate change to end the "war on nature," saying "the state of the planet is broken." What he's saying: “2021 is literally going to be catastrophic based on what we’re seeing at this stage of the game,” Beasley told a special meeting covering COVID-19, per Reuters.

The WFP chief also said that famine is "knocking on the door" of dozens of countries. 2021 is likely to be “the worst humanitarian crisis year since the beginning of the United Nations," Beasley added. "We’re not going to be able to fund everything ... so we have to prioritize, as I say, the icebergs in front of the Titanic.”

Half a billion hungry Chinese isn’t a liberal/conservative thing. That is a scary proposition.

I hope they are wrong. This always means global war of some kind. Not a pleasant thought in the nuclear era. China has a lot of young men they would be happy to get rid of.

“The world is broken”. UN: mission accomplished, citizens of the world will now be grateful for our intrusions.

As usual, you are right.

This is about taking my ####ing money and sending it to 3rd world hellholes.

All of our money.

Amazing how 70 million or so Americans are the only ones who can save almost 7 billion.

Because “distributing income” will just ruin every country.

Yeah, I realized he would have done Band Aid. Which was a better song.

Actually he didn't take part in the UK song either.

Just Live Aid.

keep smiling

Exactly. The real fall out will be felt in 2021 and onward. It’s so very evil.

His age and even is mental status is a small issue compared to his vision and path for our country. That is on purpose. They are taking this country down so they can remold it.

“...That’s silly.
They can have whatever they want at market price....”

Nope....not silly. The “keywords” in your response is “market price”. They can’t/won’t pay. Why would they pay anything when they can just come and take it for free and then keep it.

Don’t worry, Sleepy Joe will have everything in control. BTW, he announced today that the vaccines will be voluntary. No government mandates. Sleep well tonight.

They already are. They don’t want our territory. They want our stuff.

China hasn’t been an expansionist country since the Khans. They want to own us, not occupy us.

The world is actually doing great in terms of poverty and health. Covid, to whatever extent real-ish, manufactured, exaggerated is it's own temporary category.

But a story of global catastrophe is absolute manufactured theater to manufacture consensus to get the world to submit to government by a single order governed not by laws but by the whim some few arrogant ego's acting as a mini-mob.

The answer is: No.

Personally I don't think the intentions are particularly good, but even if they were, it would be an absolute nightmare for everyone as History makes clear, and it takes only a tiny bit of humility fully grasp it.

But humility and respect for history as insight into man's nature, especially when driven by ideology and acting in a group or government or mob? Not really strengths among these people. I don't see how it WON'T come down force/war eventually, and they will have anticipated that.

It's always freedom vs control when God and Satan mix it up on earth! Those are the abstract expressions of the two.

Good reason to get the U.N. the hell out of the U.S.

Let them go to Belgium. Or Luxembourg. Or Babylon. Or wherever. Just as long as it’s not here.

If the UN morphs into what I think it will, ejecting them won’t prevent bad stuff from happening here, BUT ... what happens here might be slightly less bad. Personal belief is that the further away the U.N. is from American soil, the better.

Yeah. Sounds like socialism.

Are they just figuring this out?

“ Let them do the Great Reset on the Third World and see how they like it.”

They have.

They don’t.

And it’s the cause of the problems cited. But the libs are OK with that.
