6. This transcends geopolitics and personal politics.

I fully agree with you.

It's not just this either, as heartbreaking and horrible as it is. Food and other aid to famine or poverty-stricken, war-torn parts of the world has been cut too.

I was thinking the EU could step in but there too it now has competing priorities with militarisation and self-defense.

China would be eager to step in, I would think, it's an opportunity to make more inroads building "soft power" to replace the U.S. But their economy may be wrecked with the tariffs. There is Taiwan too, scary to think about.

It seems Trump and Putin have the world over a barrel and are determined to wreck economies, start more wars, and make the world's poorest pay the price for their greed and lust for power.

If there is such a thing left as "humanity" in these dark times, we can only hope that it will prevail over this evil.
