This "vote" on 'combating the glorification of Nazism' is a good example.

On 23 February, Israel joined 140 other UN member states voting in favor of a nonbinding resolution that calls for Russia to end hostilities in Ukraine and withdraw its forces.
“For the past year, Israel has stood alongside the people of Ukraine in solidarity both on the ground and here in the UN,” Tel Aviv’s UN envoy Gilad Erdan said following the vote.
The resolution, drafted by Ukraine in consultation with its western allies, passed 141-7, with 32 abstentions. Belarus, Nicaragua, Russia, Syria, North Korea, Eritrea, and Mali were the only member states to vote against the resolution.
Israel’s condemnation of Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory happened just one day after Israeli occupation troops murdered 11 Palestinians and injured over 100 in the West Bank city of Nablus and just hours after Israeli jets bombed a residential area in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier this week, the US succeeded in stopping a vote at the UN Security Council against the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, with the help of the UAE and the Palestinian Authority.
In 2022 Israel was the target of more UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions than every other country combined.
Moreover, from 2006 through 2022, the UN Human Rights Council adopted 99 resolutions against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian and Syrian territory and the crimes committed against Palestinian civilians living under apartheid.
A day ahead of the UN vote against Russia, Venezuelan Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Joaquín Pérez Ayestarán, said that all countries without exception “must stringently comply with the United Nations Charter,” in a veiled dig at the US and its allies, who have historically violated the charter with total impunity.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine a year ago, Israel has tried to stay on Moscow’s good side due to their military cooperation in Syria. However, in recent months Kiev and Washington have turned up the pressure on Tel Aviv to align with its western sponsors.
That was my point, the blatant lie of the statement.
Then there will need to be an end to administration claims of Russia being isolated and condemned by the rest of the world.
Not clear why secret ballot is silliness.
“...crap manufacturing capability”
Then why is Biden THREATENING China if they send weapons that they manufacture to Russia?
Oh yea, my crap computer was made in China, which works great, along with the drive axles on my car.
Sort of like when Boko Haram kidnapped 150 school girls in Nigeria and then “Big Mike” Obama demanded the girls release by making a hash tag slogan.
As if these “votes” are going to amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world (Casablanca)!
The Leftist are insane, and they now rule the western world.
Silly.
They do the same to Israel.
A country will do what it feels is necessary until it cannot. Ask Germany, twice, and Israel downs of times.
Votes are for infants.
This "vote" on 'combating the glorification of Nazism' is a good example.

They’re waiting for the official Kremlin talking points to be issued to them.
Yep…
Far far worse than Russia. /s
“Israel’s condemnation of Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory happened just one day after Israeli occupation troops murdered 11 Palestinians and injured over 100 in the West Bank city of Nablus and just hours after Israeli jets bombed a residential area in the Gaza Strip.”
Biased much?
Friends, As the IDIOT BIDEN & HIS EQUALLY DEMENTED DEMOCRATS (or even MORE IDIOTIC DEMOCRAT VOTERS, VOTE FIXERS, CHEATERS AND OTHERS ON THE LEFT, AND, YES, THE RINOS & MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX) move the world into the most serious prospect of a NUCLEAR WAR since the “CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS”, I urge you to watch the classic (and PROPHETIC) film “ON THE BEACH”!

PLEASE SHARE THIS ONE BEFORE SOMEBODY PUSHES THE BUTTON!
Oh, almost forgot: KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT & RINO!!
China, Zimbabwe, Cuba and India abstain. Venezuela apparently absent.
It was expected. After all Israel receives money and support from US mostly. SO US threats that Israel will lose those then Israel follows order.
The US isn’t depraved? Name one institution is this country that isn’t, please.
If WW III starts Israel will go neutral and sit this one out. especially if Iran, Syria and Egypt side with Russia. We can’t help them because we will have our hands full with a land war in Poland/Ukraine and a naval war in the Pacific. with fighting in Central America and Africa. Questions to ponder: Will Japan side with us? Will India? Brazil? I really hope I am WRONG!
Quantity over quality. A 50% functionality rate is acceptable if you have 4x the missiles and don’t care how many soldiers you lose.
Funny you’d mention cars. I never had a brake caliper failure until the mfg. of such went to China. Since then, I’ve had several. Across 5 different car brands. Same thing for wheel bearings, except that’s only across 4 brands.
A very close friend of mine owns a several bay independent automotive shop. He can go on about that sort of thing for days.
But, that’s mostly anecdotal. Much more pertinent is my experience both specifying, sourcing, and QC’ing all sorts of parts and sub-assemblies for consumer products assembled here in the good ol’ USA. Plastic, rubber, metal, paper, composites of all sorts, ceramics, you name it. Many millions of parts, over a 20+ year period, starting when almost everything was source-able in the US, and ending when very little was. After God knows how many hours of back and forth to get the samples right, pre-production fine, a couple good production runs, then, whammo, 3rd run comes in and I or one of the other QC guys detects substandard plastic. Or a critical dimension changed a bit. Or the plating can no longer be glued to. This happened, but infrequently with US suppliers, and never with any European supplier I can recall. With Chinese suppliers, even the best, it was common. I can only think of one that never gave us a problem, a maker of rather specialized ceramic parts. (Their Chinese competition was lousy.) And then with the Chinese, getting the problem fixed was usually a major boon to some US Acetaminophen seller. All while OUR customer was raising hell. Somehow, the size of the headache was hard to quantify when we would track all this stuff and report to upper management...
We had suppliers from all over the world. When it came to either taking shortcuts or skimping on materials (quantity and / or quality) or maybe just sometimes not paying attention, the Chinese were the worst.
Granted that we never sourced in any ME country, so I don’t know how that would have gone. But from my experiences with ME students studying STEM subjects in my University days, I’m glad we never tried...
None of this, BTW, should be taken as dislike by me toward Chinese people. We had a large population in the University town my Mom lived in, and she did a great deal of church work among them and brought many to Christ. They were almost all the sweetest, nicest people you’d ever hope to meet. They adored and practically revered my Mom, and she loved them. Heck, I liked every one of those sales engineers I worked with — besides, the problems we kept having to iron out generally were not their fault, and most would really try to help.
It occurs to me, I wonder how many FReepers would recommend Chinese ammo for fellow FReepers’ personal firearms?
Good luck with those Chinese drive axles.
Fine by me
If the Venezuelans don’t like the US then they can stop taking our money
Frankly we ought to get of the UN and get the UN out of the US
So, 140 countries are on the dark side. Too bad.
Considering how much you quote Solshnetsyn I’m astonished you consider Russia (in its current form) the light side
I’m surprised that people on FR are so ignorant they think Russia is still the USSR.
Has anyone even informed themselves about what Putin says and does?
I can’t believe the willful ignorance on FR. Was quite different when I started here in 2002.
