"Plot twist: The Moscow-Tehran-Beijing Axis of Evil has been in place for years but most have been willfully blind to it."

We could have made Russia an ally against China but demented fools like you took the fall of the Soviet Union as an opportunity to further punish Russia, rob it blind, and to advance ever eastward by scooping up formerly subjugated Soviet states into NATO. Russia's red line was the Ukraine and it warned the West repeatedly to stop. China is still seething over the Opium Wars where colonial powers dismembered China and turned it into a vassal state so you can expect to see Russia being armed to the teeth by the ChiComs.

When this happens what dystopian disaster of a response will you and you tribe of idiots call for next?

Sure, because we have so much in common with Putin's Russia, like the mutual belief in freedom of speech/press, protest, and democracy.

Putin came to power in December of 1999, eight years after the fall of the Soviet Union, riding a wave of anti- American sentiment after America and the West raped Russia economically and territorially.

Morons should read more and comment less.

I will concede that it was a as a gang-rape perpetrated by both the West and former communist apparatchiks. The same thing is happening to America today.

Okay. I stand corrected, Brandon. Pakistan sent two days' worth of ammo. Whooo-hoo!

By the way, Pakistan's 230 million population does not change the math of six billion (80%) of the global population and of those who do not support the so-called "enlightened" west in this proxy war! In fact, they are tired of being "bullied" and threatened by the west, who dictates their view of how their sovereign countries should operate.

If you doubt that just look at the nations who have singed up for BIRCs and are aligning with Russia and China. You and your team in DC are driving us toward a disaster. Of course, you've had much practice in lies and wrong-headed decisions such as.....

-Close down the country for two weeks to flatten the curve
-Stealing US elections
-Global warming hoax
-Driving our once great economy off the inflation cliff with $30 trillion in debt

And, of course, the other wars we won by invading the great world powers of....

-Iraq (WMDs)
-Aftanastain
-Libya
-Serbia
-Vietnam
-Syria

How did those turn out for you, Brandon??

Okay, Brandon. Your cute little vote pic proves that the US can strong-arm, threaten, and coerce at least 141 countries around the world with well-produced propaganda. Shall we name other well-orchestrated propaganda campaigns launched by you and your like-minded cabal in Washington, DC?

Here are a few....

-WMDs in Iraq
-Close down the economy for two weeks to flatten the curve
-COVID vaccines are 100% effective (and safe). Get the shot and you WILL NOT get covid
-Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian propaganda
-January 6th was a massive coup attempt
-The water and environment are 100% safe after Ohio trainwreck/massive chemical spill
-The US was in NO WAY involved with the bombing of the NordStream pipeline
-Russian hookers peed on Trump's bed
-Trump colluded with the Russians
-There was absolutely no fraud in the 2020 election
-There is no US crises on the border with Mexico
-Absolutely no Americans were left behind in Afghanistan
-Ukraine is winning the war (after losing 20% of their territory)
-Russian economy is in shambles from our boomerang sanctions

That's just the shortlist. There's more -- much more.

In the end, countries representing sixty percent (60%)of the world's population did not vote to support the useless vote that you seem so excited to promote.

By the way, what is the meaning of that vote? What will it change?

Will it turn out like the overwhelming votes over many years by the UN to end the US embargo against Cuba? The last of which was 185 to 2! That worked out really well. Right, Brandon?

Here is the list that did not vote in favor of your resolution, Brandon:

Algeria
Angola
Armenia
Bangladesh
Bolivia
Burundi
Central African Republic
China
Republic of Congo
Cuba
El Salvador
Ethiopia
Gabon
Guinea
India
Iran
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Laos
Mongolia
Mozambique
Namibia
Pakistan
South Africa
Sri Lanka
Sudan
Tajikistan
Togo
