The USA is a shit hole country with a shit hole leader
But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.
These resolutions are designed to make some countries look bad. Somewhere in the small print there’s a point unacceptable for the US and Israel, so they vote against and newspapers world-wide can report on how US and Israel alone blocked the end of famine.
Ok where is it here exactly I’ll wait
[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.
The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]
We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.
tl;dr:
- The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
- The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
- The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory
What obligation it can’t both do nothing and create obligation which is it
“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.
Keep waiting, reading useless and pointless UN resolutions is not a hobby I have. I’m not against the UN, I think it’s a needed organization, but this kind of pointless resolutions only makes it look bad and only feeds anti-UN positions within its biggest sponsor and host: the US.
So good luck with pointless resolutions aimed at the guy paying for the circus…
I think i ahould preface the following because it sounds more neutral than I meant it to. TBC I condone neither of these positions, nor do I mean this to be argumentative with your possition, but rather collaborative:
I suspect the objection is to the calling out of / reminder that destruction of water facilities as a war crime, which seems to be something both sides have done/ been threatening in the Iran war, as well as the call out to allow UN/ other humanitarian aid groups unfettered access in warzones. Which seems like it conflicts with Israel’s contentions with UNRWA.
Israel will be responsible for a second holocaust against them. And this time no one will help.
I always thought it rather odd the country that gained its (unofficial) statehood because of a genocide of its own people have actively participated in committing one themselves. All by playing an oppressed victim.
A constitutional ethnostate being bigoted?!
This is what nationalism always leads to - exclusion and genocide. Even if it’s founding myth was resistance against those things.
The nation state is the greatest tool of oppression known to man.
The fuck is wrong with US???
I think it would actually be easier to list what is NOT wrong with the US lol, cos that woulld make for a very short list lol
- Some pretty natural landmarks
Yeah, that was easy.
For now*, until those get ruined too
Oh boy, where to start?
Isn’t also North Korea in the UN? Imagine North Korea does something better than the US lol.
The US has done things far worse than what North Korea has done. Every ten years your “democracy” bombs another country.
The US is the most murderous country to other countries in history. North Korea is trying to be the most murderous to its own citizens but it’s got a lot of work to do to catch up to Russia and China.
This is FALSE! Israel and (Israel) is ONE Country!
And when that fertilizer shortage and soybean bullshit causes farmers to have a terrible harvest, and the U.S. asks for help from the world, I hope the world will reference this vote when they tell us no.
Of course. Evil shits want everyone to starve to death so they can steal their lands
US really trying its best to be the worst. Land of the expensive and unfree.
ok so WW3 is going to be 3 fronts now is it?? fitting if not definitely infuriating
The MAGA and Likud shit stains are sick and disgusting.
Please reply - what other things are a human right?
Access to information - Internet access should be made a human right
life, privacy, information
Based USA and Israel…
I’m just waiting for the world leaders, one after another, to cut all ties with both these entities. Will they dare? Will they form a new alliance? Will the world unite against the true tyrants? Stay tuned.
Not that easy when you have an insane person with a lot of nukes.
They won’t unite out of morality, but preservation.
Unfortunately, there may still be a long way to go, assuming the leadership doesn’t deny reality up until the nuke launches start.
It depends what end game they all want for us.
The Israel’s “anti-jew/antisemitic” rhetoric only works with the west, so it could take a very long time for leaders with bigger balls to just say “that’s not gonna work anymore”. USA is currently on the path to self isolation.
It’s already happening, but it’s in usually a slow disentangling of payment systems, software, tech, … Just cut and run would be very damaging. And like many things in politics it’s often two steps forward one step back.
Yes I know it takes time, but hopefully it’s done while trump is still alive.
Unless! 🤞
I fear they might replace him with someone who’s actually competent. Incompetence is currently limiting the evil.
If the idiots can’t see the trend yet, will they ever?
To the idiots, the trend is that the US and Israel are the only great countries on earth.
“Best country with best president thats why we need to get him to run a third term”
Saw that yesterday. Holy f…
It’s really dumb. Something I have noticed most of the formerly loud and obnoxious Trump flags in my area have quietly disappeared lately…
Nice! Lol wonder if they feel betrayed or dumb.
