Papa! Who with authority joins the fight for #MULTILATERALISM which is under attack by the the axis of Cruel Inhumane Corrupt Oligarch-dictators (Trump-Epstein Class/Billionaire Pedos--it's all the same) and their patsies? The Pope! The church, at its best, culturally forced and forces humane multilateralism in Europe and around the world.

Going exactly in the opposite direction to where we should be headed -
1. Close the $4 trillion financing gap by scaling up financing and investment;
2. Focus on maximizing #sustainable #development impact, aligned with country priorities;
3. Invest in# resilience to protect impact in the face of more frequent shocks;
4. Strengthen #multilateral #institutions and #cooperation; and

> ❗️Spain and China move to deepen ties amid ‘crumbling world order,’ defend multilateralism over return to ‘law of the jungle’

Xi Jinping and Pedro Sanchez pledged to deepen ties during talks in Beijing, with Xi warning that “chaos abounds” and the international order is “crumbling,” and urging both sides to uphold the rule of law and “jointly defend true multilateralism” against a return to the “law of the jungle,” according to Chinese state media.

Sanchez said international law is being repeatedly undermined and called for closer cooperation to promote peace and prosperity.

The visit, Sanchez’s fourth to China in four years, comes as western governments seek to maintain ties with Beijing despite ongoing tensions, while also expressing growing unease over US policies. Sanchez said it is “more necessary than ever” to strengthen ties between China and the European Union and called on China to play a larger role in global issues including climate, security, defense, and inequality.

Xi also described Spain as a key interlocutor between Beijing and the EU, praising Madrid’s approach and calling for stronger China–EU ties to support global stability, while both sides emphasized cooperation based on trust, dialogue, and a move toward a more multipolar international order.

Africa: European Union Support for the UN 'More Vital Than Ever', Security Council Hears: [UN News] A senior United Nations official on Monday hailed the European Union (EU) as "a major economic and diplomatic actor and a strong advocate of multilateralism." http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TS1jrt #Africa #EuropeanUnion #UN #Diplomacy #Multilateralism

But I do think the world needs #multilateralism more than ever. It has provided exceptional peace since #WW2 and it must be revived. The #EU really has a chance to play a role, but need to take a stance against it's rabid counterpart on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

If not something magically happens very soon, I guess the #US is in for a extremely hard lesson in #geopolitics. Even when it as strong military power, it is not a strong geopolitical power in it's current shape.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/08/europe-lesson-donald-trump-era-us-sanity. "American #conservatism is steeped in the #paranoid, #apocalyptic thinking that equates #European traditions of #liberal #democracy with civilisational decline & the erasure of #white, #Christian #culture by #Muslim #immigration. Through that lens, any appeal to #international #institutions & #multilateralism is understood as the pathetic whining of #geopolitical weaklings." Putting the words "white" & "Christian" together is blasphemous.
Europe cannot bet on a post-Trump US turning back to sanity

If the president’s first term didn’t inoculate the American body politic against tyranny, there is no guarantee that a second dose will work, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr

The Guardian
Deudney (2007: Ch. 6) rejects contentions that a world government must be built on a hierarchical model, sword at the ready to enforce global peace. Instead, and turning in part to the US founding for his model he posits a system of semi-autonomous republics coexisting within an overarching federal structure, with extensive separation of coercive and other powers at various levels of government.

Peace is more than an end to war, but it would be a fresh start.
