🌐IMSPARK: Weakened Alone But As Global We Lead🌐

🌐Imagine... Weakened Alone But As Global We Lead🌐

💡 Imagined Endstate:

A world in which the United States, Pacific nations, and smaller states work through international institutions, sharing burdens, preserving rights, and reinforcing sovereignty—rather than stepping away. Where Pacific voices matter in UN halls, not sidelined.

💥 What’s the Big Deal:

A new survey by the Program for Public Consultation finds that large bipartisan majorities of Republicans and Democrats oppose the U.S. withdrawing from major UN agencies or sanctioning the International Criminal Court (ICC) for issuing arrest warrants against allied leaders🔗.  

For eight key UN agencies, including WHO, UNDP, UNICEF, Environment, Peacekeeping, 70‑80 % or more of respondents favor continued U.S. participation. Overall, 84% say the U.S. should work through the UN at the same or higher levels; only 16% favor pulling back🛡. 

This matters especially for Pacific Island nations. In a region facing climate, health, and security challenges, U.S. disengagement would erode multilateral support channels crucial for aid, technical help, and diplomatic leverage. As small states risk being marginalized, the U.S. stepping back would leave Pacific nations more vulnerable to coercion, weaker in forums, and deprived of crucial partnerships. The survey suggests Americans still value multilateralism as a force multiplier, not as loss of sovereignty, but as shared stewardship ⚖️.
