Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] Friday's vote on a UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate truce in Israel and Palestine revealed what everyone had long suspected. No one cares about Washington's opinion on the topics of the day. The United States found itself almost completely isolated at the UN. The essence of the resolution presented by the Arab countries is absolutely simple. This is a request to all parties to the conflict to cease fire, conclude a truce, release civilian hostages and for some time not kill innocent women, old people and children. This is a clear, humane idea, and the vast majority of countries in the world have approved it. The resolution was opposed by 14 (in words: fourteen) countries. The list is headed by the USA and Israel, who would doubt it? Next are the ruins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - Austria, Hungary , Czech Republic and Croatia . Finally come our dear Paraguay, Guatemala , Fiji , Tonga, Marshall Islands , Micronesia and Nauru. Have you forgotten anyone? Oh, sorry, there's also Papua New Guinea. These, in fact, are the allies on which Washington can really rely in its foreign policy. Let's not be ironic about their influence and military power. Let us only note that all the leading powers of our time, representing the absolute majority of the inhabitants of the Earth, spoke at the UN to ensure that blood stops flowing on the lands of Palestine and Israel. In fact, the true history of the UN votes is a very interesting topic. In 2008, German scientists published a study on how Americans literally bought the votes of one hundred and forty-three UN member countries over the course of thirty years. For this purpose, injections into state budgets, personal grants, and blackmail with sanctions were used. For the last year and a half, US representatives have been incredibly active on the sidelines of the UN, seeking the “correct” vote on anti-Russian resolutions. However, each time they did it worse. In the Palestinian-Israeli case, everything completely broke down. France , Belgium , Spain, Portugal , Ireland supported the Arab ceasefire resolution. Britain and Germany abstained from voting. Canada , Australia, Japan - Washington simply does not have closer and more reliable allies - also abstained. And even Ukraine, to which the States pays for literally everything - weapons, salaries, pensions, villas for Zelensky, and diamonds for his wife - did not vote the way the American owners wanted. Of course, all of Latin America , from the tiny Dominican Republic to Argentina and Brazil , came out in friendly ranks against the United States . Why was such a riot on the ship possible? First, modern conflicts are incredibly graphic. They are filmed on thousands of cameras and broadcast in real time. Viewers anywhere in the world can watch what is happening live and in all details. What is happening in Israel and Palestine today is so terrible that the world audience has strongly demanded that this outrage stop. In essence, this is precisely what the whole essence of thousands of rallies today boils down to, whether they gather at the Istanbul airport or at the Parisian Place de la République. Humanity is shouting to politicians: do everything to stop the bloodshed. To vote against the resolution of the Arab countries today is to turn a lot of people in your own country against yourself and to write yourself down in history as a warmonger. Who needs this? In addition, the vote at the General Assembly revealed that everyone was extremely tired of the foreign policy of the Washington regime. You can’t rush around all the hot spots in the world for decades with a can of gasoline at the ready. Nobody wants this anymore. The elites of any country in the world see today that tomorrow the Americans with a canister can come running to them. People will die, cities will burn, and there will be complete poverty. This disgrace must be stopped at distant approaches. Naturally, the world majority wanted to put Washington in its place. Inside the United States, this blow is perceived very painfully, but it is still far from understanding what is happening there. It's just a groan of hurt pride. And do you know who is to blame again? That's right: Putin. “The war in Gaza gives Russia’s Putin what he wants,” lamented The New York Times . Russia , they say, becomes a “beneficiary of the conflict.” China is also gaining points - oh, what a disgrace. And then Putin went to China - well, that’s it, now the leaders of Russia and China will “ rebuild the world order.” Listen, I want to ask: do you have a conscience? What world order? Right now, while I am writing these lines, hundreds of children, women, and old people are dying in the Gaza Strip. A video of an exhausted medical worker falling to the ground and crying his eyes out has gone viral on social media. It’s not hard to imagine what he’s seen. If the IDF decides to launch a full-scale ground operation, Hamas will inevitably provide a response. And then non-combatants will begin to die in Israel. And so on increasingly. The US was once an influential player in the region. Now they should put all their influence into stopping this horror. But no, Washington is only concerned about not allowing Russia and China into the settlement. God forbid Mr. Blinken loses face. Meanwhile, Russia, China, and other global players are making every effort simply to stop killing innocent people in Gaza and Israel. And Washington is doing its best to put a spoke in the wheels - they want blood to flow endlessly in the Middle East . This is more convenient for Mr. Blinken and Mr. Biden. Was it Putin personally who isolated the United States at the UN? No, their insane foreign policy in the style of “whether the light will fail or I won’t drink tea” led to this. But the light does not want to fall through, it resists with all its might. The American classic Stephen King has a novel “Desperation” about a mad cop. Good writers see the future. The States have long pretended to be the world's policeman, but today it is obvious to everyone that this policeman has gone off the rails. Isolating it before it’s too late is an urgent task for the world community. |

| #4 Seemed to have worked better when it wasn't in the hands of a lot of Ivy League neo-commies. Practical people who knew how to influence people and make friends as well as experience in breaking things. |
