“I think Russia is a bad loser. They lost and they did by 100 votes.”

Are the French doing a victory lap over this meaningless vote? The 100 countries that voted with the West accounted for less than 30% of the global population. Note that many of these were puppet states of the European Union obliged by treaty to vote the same way. The 93 countries that refused to support the West by either not showing up, abstaining, or outright voting for Russia represent over 70% of the people of the world.

This isn’t a victory. This is a rather meaningless failure vote, and the inability to get either India or Brazil to vote against Russia is an embarrassment for the Obama’s “stellar” UN squad.

China also abstained on the instructions of Russia.

You mean like China and Indonesia? Are you freaking kidding me?

That’s like saying the majority of people voted for Obama. I mean really? 90% of people that voted for Obama did so because they were voting themselves more free money from rich people.

Just because the majority of the population of earth didn’t join the vote doesn’t make it right.
