Thread: US ‘threatens Ecuador with trade sanctions

all about the money....

US ‘threatened Ecuador with trade sanctions’ if it introduced UN breastfeeding resolution


The US had supposedly asked for language asking governments to “protect, promote, and support breastfeeding” to be removed. The resolution ultimately passed but not before world health officials were shocked at the behaviour of the US delegation at the May UN World Health Assembley in Geneva, the New York Timesreported.

Ecuadorians, facing having important military aid from the US rescinded on top of harsh sanctions on critical goods, backed down. But, the US did not threaten Russia in the same manner.

An unnamed Russian delegate said the country stepped up to back and help pass the resolution because they felt “it is wrong when a big country tries to push around some very small countries, especially on an issue that is really important for the rest of the world".

And they rant about other countries protecting their industries. Has to be about as low as anyone has ever gone in the history of the world.

Milk formula industry lobbyist's wishes over the health of millions of babies. Trump administration in top gear.
And to blackmail another country to get what the lobbyists want....disgusting.

Wankers.

The U.S. really does have a backward, dumbed-down, and disconnected mindset [generally speaking] - less as individuals, but as a dangerous blind collective.

Ecuador not only do not support Big Brother's kind recommendations but also harboring in their Embassy a man of name Julian Assange. That's enough for sanctions...

Double Post

Surely, "You're either with US, or against US in the fight against breastfeeding" is a good slogan, yes?

Most find this blindly acceptable....attempting to call it something it isn't.

Comfortably numb disguised as connected intelligence.
