  1. Here is the list of countries opposing the resolution: Belarus,
    Burkina Faso,
    Burundi,
    Central Africa,
    North Korea,
    Equatorial Guinea,
    Eritrea,
    Haiti,
    Hungary,
    Israel,
    Mali,
    Marshall Islands,
    Nicaragua,
    Niger,
    Palau,
    Russia,
    Sudan,
    United States.

    Another funny thing is that the US had to abstain from their own resolution because ([quoting CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/politics/us-joins-russia-ukraine-un-vote/index.html)) “several amendments were passed ahead of the vote to strengthen the language against Russia and reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity”.

    Here goes the soft-power.

    Edit : Rereading my comment, I realize it was confusing. Two resolutions were discussed today: one comming from the US (which did not mention Moscow’s aggression), and the other one from the European Union which does and is the subject of the last part of the article. My comment was refering to the second one.

  2. The thing I’m most curious about here are the implications for this sub.

    Will the bots now become ostentatiously pro-American? Will they start to sing peans to Trump?

  3. joke country.

    god this pisses me off so much. and every conservative ik irl would rather choose to believe Vladimir fucking putin is a good person/leader/human being than to accept basic reality.

    america literally had it all, and it threw it away cuz man children got bored and decided racism and sexism was cool and now the world is gonna suffer for it. greeeeaaaaaaat

  4. While I don’t like the new take the US has on the war WTF is Europe gonna do about it?

    Putin invaded Ukraine TWICE and Europe did fuckall to bolster their defense spending until the second invasion. Germany in particular had the brilliant idea of hooking up yet another gas pipeline with Russia when everyone including Trump said it is a liability, and this caused them to sandbag western sanctions well after start of the second invasion.

    It’s easy to talk a good game about stopping Drumpf or Putler but not that easy to put up your own blood and treasure.
