If the US is blocking token resolutions condemning senseless bloodshed, it must be a day ending in "y". Can't think of a country currently in conflict where we're not openly cheering for more death and destruction.

Ofc, Russia is the victim here! They were FORCED to invade a peaceful country and take its lands, poor Putin had to send so many people to their deaths because he had NO CHOICE! It's already been 3 years, why can't Ukraine let this unprovoked invasion end already?

Everyone is blaming the US for this and getting played.

Why didn't this happen under Biden?

Biden government also vetoed a lot of resolutions related to Israel genocide.

US deserves all the shit it gets.
