Nearly 90 Percent of the World Isn't Following Us on Ukraine
Newsweek ^ | 9/15/22 | MICHAEL GFOELLER AND DAVID H. RUNDELL

Posted on 10/27/2022 12:05:39 PM PDT by JonPreston

Our familiar system of global political and economic alliances is shifting, and nothing has made this change clearer than the varied reactions to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While the United States and its closest allies in Europe and Asia have imposed tough economic sanctions on Moscow, 87 percent of the world's population has declined to follow us. Economic sanctions have united our adversaries in shared resistance. Less predictably, the outbreak of Cold War II, has also led countries that were once partners or non-aligned to become increasingly multi-aligned.

90% of the world doesn’t have an excruciatingly fervent desire to launder their currencies through Ukraine. The US under Biden does. So it’s business as usual for Brandon and his ilk.

I see you are getting the normal deep, cogent responses from the Soros Trolls currently inhabiting FreeRepublic.

If you toss enough people out of a party you’re hosting it should not come as a surprise when they throw their own party elsewhere.

I’m not following “us” on Ukraine.

Our government is full of liars.

90% of the “world’s population” doesn’t give a hoot about what the US is doing. Most of them are scratching out a living in some impoverished dump.

I'd say both authors of this article are highly qualified to know what they are talking about.

David H. Rundell is the author of Vision or Mirage, Saudi Arabia at the Crossroads and a former Chief of Mission at the American Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Ambassador Michael Gfoeller is a former Political Advisor to the U.S. Central Command.

Most of the world thinks Russia should fight Ine World Order. They know it is communism on steroids.

In the U. N. Security Council not one other nation voted to
back up Russia.

In the General Assembly very few did. I don’t
recall the exact numbers.

So no, 90% of the world hasn’t backed Russia.

It’s comical to observe how anti-Western reports are held up
as if they are mana from somewhere. It sure isn’t heaven.

Perhaps if we send them more money for Drag Queen dance performances for kids. Then they will surely give a hoot!?
