I was thinking more: We’re for a cease fire but we’re afraid America might be salty about it,

I remember that at least the Finnish reason for abstaining is that Hamas was not mentioned nor their attack condemned in any way in the cease fire resolution. Canada started a petition to change the wording of the resolution and most countries who abstained voted for this.

Still a million times better than vetoing it. We should be ashamed here in the US...

I read that completely differently to you. I see it as "we want a ceasefire but bullshit politics means we can't vote for it "

Some countries like Canada, are neutrally aligned, and simply don't answer questions like this. Same with Denmark, I believe.

I hate you. Take your upvote

They appreciate being seen as opposing the west even more. Especially when it comes to toothless UN resolutions.

They don't want Hamas to be eliminated. Russia is always for ceasefire when its side is loosing.

Dmitriy Polyanskiy, Russia’s representative, said US diplomacy was "leaving scorched earth in its wake". He said if an immediate ceasefire was blocked by the US again, how could the country look its partners in the eye? He called on the US to "make the right choice" and support the demand for an end to violence.

It's solely due to US being the bad side along with Israel, they're trying to shift the narrative.

They know America is going to veto it because they're israel's bitches. And it looks way better for countries like Iran which supply Russia with drones to bomb Ukraine with.

Ironically Russia is winning support with their stance on human rights over America in this conflict. Zelensky sucking Netanyahu off also doesn't promote the Arabs views of Ukraine.

Even China dunked on America yesterday at the UN, that's when you know it's bad

While I knew the name, your comment made me wonder why Croatias country code is in their language while most others aren't. Like, hungary would be Magyarország, which is also very different from their English name.

Also, Austrias country code is wrong in this map. It should be AUT, AUS is Australia.

The current generation isn't asking lots of questions about Uigurs, Armenians, etc.

So x for doubt

The map looks very similar to others during the cold war (US supporting apartheid, a variety of dictatorships and colonial movements and genocidal regimes) yet, you don't really see anyone asking how the US people let that happen.

I don't believe that the US is interested in a ceasefire aside from appearance necessary to keep the muslim world and the muslims in the US and Europe from revolting against the injustice.

The US always worked to destabilize the Middle East and with Israel being armed to its teeth and countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt happy to sell out, this is perfect to sow division, despair and violence.
