Western democratic countries, including Canada, the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Greenland, Iceland, Denmark and more, are not interested, or semi-interested on condition that money is given directly to agencies that assist the people of Gaza.
I'm so glad Hobby Lobby doesn't sell gold decals to put on the Resolute desk.
Foreboding, to say the least. It ends on a positive note, one that I believe is heeded today by all EU countries and NATO (minus the US). Europe and Canada must direct vast sums towards defence building not to defend against former threats of Russia and China, but to defend against all major powers.I found this very interesting website from Denmark called Verfassung which means constitution in English. This particular topic is about The End of NATO as we Know It

No one is ready to cancel a trade relationship, there is a warning that the direction that the US is taking against EU will have consequences.
Merz makes clear that trust is gone, and that the EU and the US "must repair the trust on which the transatlantic alliance was built." Trust between Canada and the US is broken. Trust between Greenland/ the Kingdom of Denmark and the US is broken. Trust between the US and the EU is broken. That's the reality today.
"Against that backdrop, the chancellor appealed for European unity and commended an apparent deal struck on Wednesday between President Trump and Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, to strengthen Arctic security — a move that appeared to defuse Mr. Trump’s efforts to gain ownership of Greenland for the United States. Mr. Merz said Europe would not have tolerated an effort to seize the Danish territory by force and that it would have responded to tariffs meant to pressure Denmark into a sale, which Mr. Trump threatened days ago.
Mr. Merz also seemed to direct a message to Mr. Trump — with whom he has built a friendship — about the value of allies even for the most powerful countries.
“We must never forget one thing,” he said. “The world where only power counts is a dangerous place, first for small states, then for the middle powers, and ultimately, for the great ones.”

That makes absolute sense that wind turbines support and promote sea life like mussels, etc. That's why many countries that have a coast have a tendency to sink decommissioned boats to create an environment that supports sea life.The claims by the United States president regarding wind farms in China are easily proven to be incorrect. Surely he doesn't expect anyone to believe him.
"Offshore wind farms may do more than boost renewable energy: they might support marine ecosystems, too. That’s the takeaway of a new study conducted in China. The researchers found that wind turbines provided support for colonies of oysters and barnacles and that fish species and biomass were more abundant near the turbines than they were in an area without the machines.
The study counters a frequent criticism of offshore wind farms—that they are detrimental to marine life and may damage the seabed. China, while being the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, is a global leader in renewable energy build-out, including offshore wind projects. It has the largest wind power capacity of any nation and plans to build the world's largest wind turbine.

Thank you. That's the info I was looking for. I wanted to see the list of states.

24 U.S. States Commit to Paris Agreement Goals After Trump Exits Accord - ESG Today

Thanks!
Looks like Trump has rescinded his invitation for Canada to join his "Peace Board" per his truth social post.
Good! At least our country doesn't have to be put in a position to decline his invite, if we so chose to
IMOI find it absolutely incredible that so many nations have put up a billion dollars. Makes me wonder what the payment plan is or if the money gets refunded with interest if certain goals are met.
And how long are the terms? Will Trump have a position for life?
The billion dollars is only for those countries that wish to serve more than a three year term, which effectively means it's free for the first three years.
