Description (38 mins):
Phil asks if it is possible to bring the nations of the world together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Apparently not, as long as the “Five Eyes” back the USA in its attempt to slough off its responsibility to support the WHO. The “Five Eyes” are known to be an “anglophone intelligence alliance.”
Canada and Australia were part of a US-backed effort to damage China and the WHO in two ways: 1) Trying to criticize China’s handling of the pandemic, and 2) arguing for the representation of Taiwan at the WHO.
The Canadian-Australian attempts flopped, because the rest of the WHA membership weren’t interested in creating problems, but instead in finding common solutions in the COVID-19 crisis.
The US has been regularly abrogating its international agreements and treaties. Trump’s defunding of the WHO is part of a pattern of undermining multilateral organizations and international co-operation.
