Makes sense. The Trump admin would 100% send someone with explicit instructions to make headlines by disrupting things.

Good. It's time for the world to move on without us.

Perhaps this is a challenge goal to help reestablish international trust once we start recovering from our current national mental breakdown

Is it too much to dream that even after jumping on board late, we reach the finish line while helping support our fellow nations across?

Please keep us out. The faster the world moves on from even interacting with the US the better.

No just US. China, Russia and Saudi Arabia will also be missing. It really is time to just exclude those countries from global negotiations. They only goal is obstruction. This should have been done a decade ago.

That's what Trump wants, right? To isolate the US from other countries and let them work stuff out themselves? Looks like his strategy is working. But of course cry baby wants to be included and mingle in other countries' business.

Understandable

As they should.

The US is irrelevant in these conversations.

It's a global imperative, as well as in most nations own security interests, to become independent of fossil fuels.

What needs to be agreed is how the willing are going to fight back against the oil baron's billions, because they'll do anything, anything, to remain relevant and profitable.

Yeah, it'd be unhelpful at best to have an American representative involved. But more likely they'd be actively trying to sabotage the whole thing, so this was pretty obviously the right move.

No green energy. No windmills because they kill birds, no solar because of there is no sun, no power. Just beautiful coal and illegally obtained oil. And don't get me started on the department of health and RFK Jr. The US is going backwards in such a rapid pace, almost gives me whiplash.

Sounds like a good idea. The petrostate should be excluded.

Not so random question: does the US have laws forbidding a senator or other federal official from accepting a direct invite to something like this without approval?

I.E. if the invitation was extended to someone who would support the initiative, even if not approved by the administration?

Other countries need to move forward not only without the US, but with the expectation that the US will actively use subterfuge and violence to sabotage global efforts, as we already have.

You would think that the Trump administration would be in favour of destructive policies.

The US is about to find out (well, eventually I suppose) that the stone age didn't end due to a lack of stones.
