From Trump’s UN speech that’s bothering me:

“We know and I know and I get to view it all the time. Sir, would you like to see? And I look at weapons that are so powerful that we just can’t ever use them. If we ever use them, the world literally might come to an end. There would be no United Nations to be talking about. There would be no nothing. Just a few years ago, reckless experiments overseas gave us a devastating global pandemic. Yet, despite that worldwide catastrophe, many countries are continuing extremely risky research into bioweapons and man-made pathogens. This is unbelievably dangerous. to prevent potential disasters.

I’m announcing today that my administration will lead a international effort to enforce biological weapons convention which is going to be meeting with the top leaders of the world by pioneering an Al verification system that everyone can trust. Hopefully the UN can play a constructive role and it will also go be one of the early projects under Al. Let’s see how good it is because a lot of people are saying it could be one of the great things ever.

But it also can be dangerous, but it could be put to tremendous use and tremendous good.

And this would be an example of that. Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should too often, it’s actually creating new problems for us to solve. The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It’s uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined. The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.”
