    The US Empire and its little brother Israel are the 2 leading rogue states. 189 countries just voted for a UN resolution on tackling the pandemic. Only the US and Israel voted against it, because it condemns sanctions.

    UN assembly approves pandemic resolution; US, Israel object - AP


    In 2019, the US and Israel were again the only countries to vote against a UN General Assembly draft resolutions calling for:
    • a nuclear weapons-free Middle East;
    • measures to stop an arms race in outer space;
    • an end to the blockade of Cuba.
    US and Israel were lone votes against UN resolutions opposing space arms race, nuclear Middle East, Cuba embargo

    It was 169 countries that voted for it, not 189.

    lol...

    ".It calls on governments and worldwide monetary establishments “to offer extra liquidity within the monetary system, particularly in all creating nations.” It helps restoration plans that “drive transformative change in direction of extra inclusive and simply societies together with by empowering and interesting all ladies and ladies.”And it urges U.N. member nations “to undertake a climate- and environment-responsive method to COVID-19 restoration efforts” together with by aligning investments and home insurance policies with the U.N. objectives and the 2015 Paris settlement to fight local weather change."

    So, first of all, they want 'creating nations' to pay for everything. WTF is 'environment-responsive method to COVID-19 restoration'? AND WTHF does "aligning investments and home insurance policies with the U.N. objectives and the 2015 Paris settlement" have to do with fighting Cvirus??

    This things got more unrelated BS in it than a bill from our own congress.

    I can't believe US and Israel were the only ones who said 'F*** no.'

    The UN bureaucracy is a far more dangerous virus than Covid...

    And then there's this (from same link as above):

    "The USA was then overwhelmingly defeated in makes an attempt to take away two paragraphs from the decision, one referring to ladies’s rights to “sexual and reproductive well being” and the opposite to “selling international sustainable transport.”

    Sounds to me like taxpayer funded abortions and free rides to America for refugees. But who really knows for sure, they're being vague as hell. Which usually means they don't want us to know precisely what they mean. Just more trying to float in unpopular policies on the coattails of an emergency and effectively stonewalling their own response in the process. Typical.

    This was a bad 'resolution.' But then again, par for the course for the UN...

    It seems mainly to be on the issues allowing the US to sanction other countries that the US and Israel declined. The US sanctioning Iran and Venezuela and other countries during the Pandemic has been linked to a crime against humanity.

    What a slop-bucket of babbling bureaucrat-speak! Why this bloated farce hasn't long gone the way of the equally useless League of Nations is one of the worlds enduring mysteries.

    I've been saying for decades that the U.S. has no business having membership in the UN.

    The US was powerful enough to have been a force for good in the world. We could have influenced other nations through humanity and justness, while still showing respect for the cultural traditions and standards of others. Instead, we oppressed others through an arrogance of cultural superiority.

    In all our dealings, we backed and supported aggressors and criminals and made their victims our victims as well - while at the same time we created an alternate reality to the American people through the media. By doing so, they became an unknowing accomplish of our government's crimes.

    I cry for my country.

    If they kill at all they kill as an unintended consequence. But you don't have to fight me over sanctions. I would prefer a semi-isolationist foreign relations policy. I don't like us being the planetary police force. It is expensive and ineffective. I would adopt Switzerland's policy.

    Sorry I can't view internet videos. I have metered internet. All I have to go on is the title. I stand with my comment even if it was the opposite of what you said.
