What the hell, even Spain and Ireland? Why..? I mean seems like it might’ve been an EU coordinated vote. But still wth Spain and Ireland. You’re supposed to be the not so shit ones.

Spain's government only recently started turning against the US, and this vote was in 2022.

As for Ireland, can't say.

because this is a russian resolution. so it's russian propaganda of course, what else!!!! mind you this resolution was first proposed in 2005 and has been voted almost every year, currently 21 times. so this is not some new development. always. the same. map.

The only country to have voted "No" all 10 times is the United States of America. Other states that voted "no" prior to 2022 are Ukraine (7 times), Palau (4 times), Cape Verde (3 times), Kiribati (once), and Canada (once).

According to him, thousands of Cuban soldiers are fighting against Ukraine as part of the Russian army, gaining combat experience, while Havana is increasingly involved in military and intelligence activities, posing a threat to international security.

Lackeys until the very end.

Food, energy, and currency sovereignty is the trifecta that nation states need in 2026 if they want to maintain real sovereignty. Nukes are useful too, but I would posit that having the three things I mentioned above has better prepared Iran to defeat the US empire despite not having a nuke.

This article is from October 29th. It's not really news anymore is it?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

it's certainly notable with the US threatening to invade Cuba and blockading it now.
