The 193-member body issued its most staunch support for Ukraine yet during Wednesday's vote, which saw 143 nations condemn Russia's actions...Only five countries voted against the resolution, one of which was Russia itself. North Korea, Belarus, Syria, and Nicaragua — all led by dictator-like regimes — joined the increasingly isolated nation...Several nations that had previously abstained from or not voted on the prior resolutions joined the majority on Wednesday to vote "yes," including Bangladesh, Morocco, and Iraq. Among the additional surprises were Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

You’re just making things up.

You propagate pure manufactured spin and say people not buying or drinking either side of the commie make believe war are drinking media kool aid.

I usually figure posters like you are simply Russian Wu Mao, call you pu Mao, because no one can be so naive and obtuse and stupid as the posts indicate.

“The war in Ukraine brought them to the surface.”

Yeah. Way back when we had Justin Raimundo and the “ anti-war” crowd who are from the same menagerie as these psychopaths.

Oh, I am convinced now! The UN is the most honest, noble, and effective governing body of grifters that has ever existed.

You’re accusing he poster who’s been here, literally, a decade longer than you of being a Russian troll?

You’re the mystery meat... not him. You know anyone here?

Now go suck a nice WAD out of some UN globaloid - you’re good for that.

“Of the 193-member body, 143 countries supported Ukraine, while 35 abstained from the vote.”

Plus, how many of those 143 countries are supporting the sanctions on Russia?

We know that the biggest ones, India and China, ARE NOT, and that many other big players - Turkey, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, among others also ARE NOT.

So, yea, don’t invade other countries, but if you feel you need to, we’ll look the other way (nod nod wink wink).

“dictator-like regimes”?
Well that is some funny phrasing.
So how many dictator-like regimes voted FOR the resolution?
And how did the potater-head regime vote?
(Most of you will surmise that the potater-head regime is the BrandonBiden White House.)

Looks like everyone’s getting on the bandwagon with Biden. And Soros. Obama. CIA. Hillary. Austin. Milley. And who could forget Victoria Nuland. That ole puppet comedian has plenty of cheerleaders!

On June 9, 2022, Nicaragua’s Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) government renewed the authorization of Russian military forces to operate in the country. In doing so, it reminded the United States and the hemisphere that the dictatorial regime of Daniel Ortega not only continues to abrogate the rights of its own people for democratic choice, free expression, and other fundamental human rights, but also serves as an entry point for the projection of threats into the region by extra-hemispheric rivals of the United States, such as Russia, Iran, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

Closure of Democratic Spaces

In the four years since the nationwide protests against the Sandinista regime began in April 2018, the authoritarian regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo has doubled down on consolidating its power, arguably determined never again to allow political organizations or public organization and expression that could lead to comparable mass challenges to its power.

The Ortegas’ repression of the initial protests involved hundreds of arrests and caused at least 300 deaths and 2,000 injuries. In the years that followed, they passed a series of laws effectively criminalizing expression of dissent. The defining moment in their consolidation of authoritarian rule was the rigging of the nation’s November 2021 national elections, giving the dictatorial couple a new term in power by disqualifying virtually all of the other opposition parties and jailing 40 leading opposition figures, including the seven opposition presidential candidates.

UN has long been a worthless entity.

It’s very useful to point out that the ONLY countries that support Russia are Syria, North Korea, Nicaragua, and Belarus.

That’s it!

How embarrassing! The only thing more embarrassing than being Russia at this point is being someone deluded enough to think they’re still winning.

At what point do you question whether Russia is actually in the wrong for their invasion?

When is the UN going to declare war on Russia then?

Not sure if your ignorance is an act, but Russia’s position on the security council allows it to veto an effort by the UN to address their aggression.

Weird how Russia’s only support for their actions can be found amongst the dictatorships of Belarus, Nicaragua, North Korea, Syria, and a few deluded Freepers.

“UN vote fails. India, China, South Africa abstain. NATO 10 yr Ukraine plan. Odessa cancels Musk.”

And yo, ask Russia if they give a one shat what the hypocrite club thinks.

UN is irrelevant, has long been irrelevant, and will end being irrelevant.

Oh, and you are on FR, and given the past track record of the level of disdain over the years within this board for the UN, to now have you bozos even remotely going along with the UN or siding with the UN on this matter simply because it involves.....wait for it.....wait for it.....UKRAINE and Russia, is utter idiocy.

FRiend, it’s not ‘siding with the UN’, it’s simply pointing out that of ALL the countries on the globe Russia has the support of Belarus, Nicaragua, North Korea, and Syria.

How EMBARRASSING!

How does it feel to side with Kim and Ortega?
