APNewsBreak: UN criticism of Trump prompts Russian response
Yahoo News ^ | 7 Oct 2016

Posted on 10/07/2016 9:57:27 AM PDT by mandaladon

GENEVA (AP) — Diplomats tell The Associated Press that Russia's government lodged a formal complaint last month with the United Nations over a top U.N. official's condemnations of Donald Trump and some European politicians.

The intervention underscores the unusual links between the Kremlin and the Republican presidential nominee.

There is no evidence Trump sought Russia's assistance, or was even aware of the criticism by Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights.

But three diplomats say the criticism prompted Vitaly Churkin, Russia's U.N. ambassador, to issue a verbal "demarche" to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a private meeting on Sept. 13.

The diplomats weren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter and demanded anonymity, fearing possible diplomatic repercussions from Russia, a powerful, permanent member of the U.N. Security Council.

It certainly WON’T be that the UN should stay out of a country’s internal political process.

I’d back you up all the way. Would love to see a pile of rubbish where the UN used to be.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a WINNER!!

This was no different than Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize!! It was an attempt to promote him as being some kind of “savior”! The little bastard hadn’t done anything remotely worthy of a Nobel Prize before getting it, and has PROVEN to be a worthless P.O.S. everyday since getting the B.S. award!

This action is almost a campaign plug for Hillary. That’s who they want because they know she is spineless and is philosophically closer to communism than free-market capitalism.

The UN is afraid of him. Trump won’t allow their dream of control of the US.

I think Russia, Hillary, and Obama are working together.

Hillary campaign has been way too loose blaming Russia for everything from Hacking to loving Trump.

They have a deal with Hillary who helped them obtain 20% of US uranium and will probably have a lot more goodies for them when Hillary is President.

Let ‘em!!!

Obama has chosen the WRONG SIDE of every faction in the Middle East - PERIOD!!!

He chose to kill Ghadaffi, the Egyptian leader, Nuclear arm Iran, ISIS (against Syria), etc...

At this point, we need to get out of that mess and let it take it’s course!!! The King of Jordan put it best...we are in the Third World War! And right now, we are supporting the Axis in this battle!!!

The intervention underscores the unusual and traitorous ties Canckles and her corrupt cohorts in both the Dhimmicrats and Global Rino parties have with the UN.

I don’t see it that way.

Russia knows a weak USA leaves a vacuum that the islamo-fascists will fill.

He also see’s hilLIARy as a muzzie enabler almost as bad as Obama.

He is FIGHTING the muzzie brotherhood in Syria on the side of Assad. He sees Odumbshit hellping the MB side.

He knows hilLIARy will continue to help the muzzies, as well as being stupider than stupid can be, and a liar and cheat.

He knows Trump would be a stronger leader. Maybe even one he can deal with and become actual friends with. It would be nice not to be an enemy with Russia forever.

You’re not helping, Russia.

Why should they? They probably want 8 more years of feckless American leadership. Remember, we're more "flexible" now.

I have a friend who works in Russia that often translates and sends me things he sees in the Russian press about the election. The Russian's have absolutely zero respect for Hillary and they mocks and belittle her daily. A popular cartoon portrays her as a befuddled old bag lady. She is commonly referred to as "Obama's Старый пес" which is Russian slang for an "old whore".

“What “unusual links”????”

The ones we, the Leftist Mainstream Media, make up.

Outside of arresting the Media and having them shot, I don’t know what else we can do to defeat them.

The same lack of anything but perception that got Obama a Nobel Prize for simply not being President George Bush.

“criticism by Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights.”

This is rich coming from a Jordanian Arab. This POS needs to turn his criticism towards his Arab Muslim fascist brothers who delight in Sharia as their tool of oppression. But that’s asking too much from another Islamic fool.

Russia is just stepping in where the USA is not doing its job.

The UN is supposed to be nonpolitical. Putin knows he will be next on the UN list if he doesn't stop it now.

The Russians apparently learned something from the long folly of a stream of corrupt communist regimes that brought them to their knees. Their leadership is willing to take a chance on an outsider to lead our country because the sooner we return to sanity the better it will be for the entire world.
