How about taking care of your 2% NATO pledge first.

So, they are not “paying their fair share”, eh?

This is why they are upset that Trump shut off the Paris Accord money tap coming from Uncle Sucker.

The best thing they could do to aid the poor nations is to send dscores of doctors to perform vasectomies.

“...Oxfam says the taxpayer-funded finance from rich countries in 2015-16 stood at about $48bn, or nearly half the amount promised for 2020....”

Hopefully, not a penny of that money is coming from the US!

Does this “report” (or any other) list the nations getting money, how much they get, and how they spent it? I think that information would be very interesting to taxpayers....

The worst part of this fraudulent wealth transfer scheme is that is doesn’t even help the poor.

Instead it goes to tyrannical despots who use it to enrich themselves while oppressing the citizens.

Good. Redistribution of wealth is not an appropriate role for governments.

Here is the end result of Climate Change. Massive taxes on the West to funnel money through NGOs to the Third World. Its really not about helping the Third World. Its about funneling hundreds of billions through NGOs.

Gee, I’m just so shocked the Yurps aren’t paying up after berating the US for pulling out of this scam.

They were expecting the US to foot the bill.

Actually, just drop off tons of ammo and guns, and when the dust settles, nuke the place from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
