An abstention is no different from a vote in support of Russia.
$billions of British, American and other members’ aid goes to those countries. All that money must stop immediately and go directly to Ukraine.
Vietnam, South Africa and India should be ashamed of their cowardly asslicking behavior. Vietnam in particular should know better. Their refusal to join the West could terribly backfire one day.
The General Assembly rejected an amendment proposed by Belarus that urged countries to “refrain from sending weapons to the zone of [the] conflict” and called for “the start of peace negotiations”. I wonder which countries Luka was referring to?
In other words, only Russia would be allowed to send weapons to the zone of conflict…
Something like that. Of course this amendment was seen for what it was, and was totally destroyed. The same 7 terrorist states voted for it.
On another note it looks like Biden has decided NO F-16s in the works for Ukraine. Fuck me…
I agree fully. Stop all aid to every country that voted against or abstained.
Of course, this is not going to happen. We are too stupid.
