AFRICA STORIES : ANTI-RUSSIAN RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT UNITED NATIONS

As expected a UN general assembly resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine was adopted recently. Vast majority of Africa's 54 countries, following the principle of respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, voted for this resolution. This includes even countries that have good relations with Russia such as Nigeria and Egypt.

But there were some exceptions to the rule...

The francophone African nations that recently ditched French troops in favour of Russian "Wagner" mercenaries abstained or voted against the anti-Russian resolution or did not vote at all. These include Mali, Burkina Faso and Central Africa Republic.

African nations governed by political parties with ties to defunct USSR such as South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Algeria, Zimbabwe, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,Tanzania and Republic of Congo abstained or did not vote at all. (Republic of Congo must not be confused with the much larger Democratic Republic of Congo, which voted for the resolution.)

Countries such as Uganda, Sudan, Eritrea, Gabon, Togo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia and Burundi that are just beginning to build closer ties with Russia following Sergei Lavrov's robust diplomacy also abstained or voted against the UN resolution.

Outside Africa, many countries that have good relations with Russia voted for the anti-Russia resolution. These include Argentina, Indonesia, Serbia, Hungary and even Brazil, which belongs to the BRICS. The entire Indian subcontinental nations (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) abstained from voting for the anti-Russia resolution.

Despite the successful passing of this UN resolution against Russia, I can confidently say that NATO countries will still not be able to get any non-Western country to place sanctions on Russia or to cut ties with her.

It is one thing to get people to vote for "territorial integrity", it is another to get them to follow up with some punitive measures.

I am now back from Montenegro and looking forward to our Live Stream today.

We are back to full scale war between the US and Iran with both the US and Iran now saying that the MoU is dead. This has been a disastrous episode in mismanaged diplomacy, which has sharply reduced the prospect of a negotiated agreement between the parties. Whilst the Iranians must take part of the blame - they had a coherent strategy at the start of the war which was to refuse interim deals, which they should have stuck with - the greater fault lies with the Trump administration, which continues to conduct diplomacy in a chaotic and eccentric way, and without good faith.

The situation with the SMO in my opinion is just as bad. The Russians are making it increasingly clear that they believe that the Trump administration, up to and beyond Anchorage, was taking them for a ride, trying to trick them into a ceasefire the Russians had no intention of agreeing to. When it became clear this would not succeed the Trump ...

Diversity.

@theduran there is plenty of theories about the death of Lindsy Graham, I will add mine to the pile as well.
There is a white powder called cocaine that might cause such sudden death. And we know there is an abundance of it by the green goblin of Ukraine. It is also to asume a very high quality of it. That would be more in line with a sudden death, as low quality drugs cause a slow death by poisoning via additives.
We also know that other western polititians love it. It might be that Lindsy Graham did by the way also a restock. As he was already there, in Ukraine. With a diplomatic passport, noone dares asking him unconfortable questions.
Restocking with the white powder might also be one of the motivations for the western leaders to come come gack to this country of tears so eagerly, again and again.
After traveling so far, so fast and so long... I might also wish for a little "boost"

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
