Perhaps blaming won’t help. But, apparently, neither does a $500 million annual support contribution.

It is extremely strange and/cheeky for any other nation to criticize the withholding of funds from WHO by the United States. All these nations need to do is pony up the money themselves if they are that distressed over it.

Well, the Germans could make the payments.

Well, they could use their money to finance W.H.O.

Merkel can use her credit card and pay the entire WHO amount.

Maybe blaming is not valuable. But cutting off funds to a left-wing internationalist organization is almost always a good thing.

Next, the UN!

If they want to pay our $454,000,000 annual share to this Chinese/globalist "medical" fraud, they are welcome to do so. Otherwise, they can go pound sand. We have better places to put our hard-earned money.

We should also suspend all payments to any organization with "UN" in it's title. They are all anti-American scams who would rather bury us than help us.

“Blaming others won’t help..."

Oh, but when it's time to blame America, blame Trump, blame white people (for whatever) it always seems to help liberals.

The rest of the UN, that is. The WHO is as much a part of the UN as the anti-Israel UNRWA, which also got defunded.

Sorry mate, but I read the entire article, and nothing was attributed to the WHO actually doing anything. Which was my point. At the end of the article, here are the "Acknowledgments"

This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (project No.81970029) and Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China (The Emergency Projects on COVID-19. project No.xzy032020042). We sincerely thank the individuals who contributed to this work including Xudong Yang, Wenhua Zhu, Jing Xu, Fumeng Huang, Muhammad Saadiq Khan, Jiajun Ren, and Xipeng Wang.

Clearly, this was all research done by China.

As best I can tell, the WHO is barely above the level of the Clinton Foundation. Take the money in, pay themselves handsomely, play politics, and distribute the work done by others.

Crazy. It’s the chicom government’s fault. WHO is their tool. The president is punishing the tool.

Germany should put up the money for WHO themselves and show us a thing or two on how to be. /s/

What % of Deutsche GDP was given compared to the US?

1.2 % of their GDP goes to national defense, U.S spends 3.2 % of our GDP.

Per Germany's NATO agreement they are required to spend no less than 2% of GDP but they haven't met that in years and last year they failed again. President Trump asked all NATO countries to spend 4%.

Germany spent 49.5 billion on defense, the U.S.spent 649 billion.

No foreign countries give the U.S. money for national defense.

Why should American taxpayers pay the brunt of the defense costs for the E.U. ?
