Living in a multipolar world with more intergovernmental organisations

While the UN, G7, G20 lose their attractiveness, influence and standing more and more other international organisations are winning with China and Russia behind it.

Take BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) for example.

How far and how fast will the post WW II global order change?

G20 Summit without Russia and China? This is then more like a G7 Summit. 😊 Except for Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea.

America and other Western countries ought to Opt Out Of The World Health Organization’s Global Medical Tyranny

Food for thought! The obsession with globalism is detrimental! Countries are not equal!

There is little doubt that so called international organisations like the WHO supposedly representing all of humanity have been perverted or instrumentalized!

Do countries like China, Russia, or North Korea care about the WHO? No they don't unless it serves their purpose e.g. to undermine Westen countries!

I personally also have come to the conclusion that Western countries should foremost have their own organisations! Then Western countries can decide how to engage on a global scale.

"The experts could hide behind international law as they advocate economy-crushing lockdowns and forced vaccinations.
Elon Musk tweeted that “Countries should not cede authority to WHO,” and conservatives have joined him in sounding the alarm about proposed legal changes to the World Health Organization and its International Health Regulations (IHR). ...
First, proposed changes to the International Health Regulations would convert recommendations into requirements. In May of 2024, 196 U.N. member nations will vote on the changes to the IHRs, with a simple majority required to approve them. ...
Second, the new WHO pandemic treaty, also up for a vote in the U.N. in May 2024, would represent another assault on U.S. sovereignty and thus the self-governance of the American people. ..."

Corruption at the World Bank's Economic Opportunity Index

It is high time that Western countries finally learn the lesson! International, global, multilateral organisations are no panacea at all! This has been learnt latest since World War I!

Western countries should form their own organisations, which then cooperate with other organisations or countries on a case by case or on a concrete and verifiable agreement basis!

"From the United Nation’s Oil-for-Food Program to Interpol’s scandal-ridden contracts with Philip Morris and FIFA, international organizations have proved inept at management and undermined faith in the institutions they claim to support. The latest exhibit: the World Bank, which announced in September that it would stop publishing its Doing Business report, once an essential tool for ranking economic opportunity across the world. Internal and external audits showed that the report had become subject to political pressure, corruption, and ineptitude. ...
We now know that corruption undermined the report’s integrity. An outside audit of the 2018 and 2020 reports showed that Kristalina Georgieva, then at the Bank but now head of the International Monetary Fund, succumbed to political pressure to improve China’s rating, out of concern that a bad rating would endanger the Bank’s next round of funding from Beijing. ..."
