Indeed; witness Trump's idiotic and entirely selfish idea that buying all of Germany's stocks of a vaccine, no doubt to sell it on to the highest bidder, was a good plan. The idiot still thinks in terms of 'deals'. Germany politely told him to piss off.You'd think the US would be a leader at a global response to the virus. Most of the time in our history, you'd be right. Now, the United States, Russia and China are the three leading nations who have refused to take part in the UN's global effort on a Coronavirus vaccine.
They're also hoarding the components for a vaccine, preventing the rest of the world from having a share.
UN Secretary General: "#COVID19 is a clear test of international cooperation – a test we are failing so far."
It is morally shameful. Any idea the US has had about its being a meritorious leader in the world, rather than arrogant and selfish with its power, is gone for the current government.

Any developed vaccine should be available free of charge for all, irrespective of their status. You clearly have no idea what cooperation means; just as in WW2 you refused to help out unless you were paid in advance, in cash. Screw your venal, 'me first' pathetic excuse for a nation. Your post is ignorant beyond description."International cooperation"
Translation: "Hey guys, give me some of that money, eh?"
I have a better solution...
Some small country volunteer their citizens to be our test subjects. If they survive, they can have the vaccine for free.

It's a media, and all whomever else say, misnomer to call our current president the leader of the free world when He has clearly withdrawn from the world with His Amexit strategy and abandoned the position, once a proud position of leadership and the kind of responsibility that Trump refuses to accept, repeatedly so on record.

It seems trump has trashed the US, pleasing Putin, who he wants things from in the future. Putin's investment in trump, including his giving trump a $50 million windfall buying a property trump flipped, has paid off enormously. It's hard to tell how much Putin is his motive, but it seems a large part.
Putin gets ROI from America the nation for Russia the nation and his own political power. Trump is hoping to get return on what He invested America in for his own personal gain. He ain't got it yet, beyond that $50M that is not what Trump is looking for.
Right, trump is hoping to get personal gain by selling out the US - what are you saying is not what trump is looking for.
Thanks for the catch. Poor wording had me contradict myself. I meant to say Trump is looking for much more than just that $50M. That $50M isn't what He's looking for so much as a whole lot more. Like a Trump tower in Moscow with Putin in the penthouse.
