AFRICA STORIES: ANTI-RUSSIAN RESOLUTION AT UNITED NATIONS (STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN)

Yesterday, I wrote about the passing of a UN General Assembly resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine by majority (~73%) of the 193 countries that constitute the United Nations. Among those who voted for the "anti-Russia" resolution were Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina and Saudi Arabia. Every single one of these mentioned countries have good relations with Russia, especially Brazil which is part of the BRICS

Breakdown of the reaction to the UN resolution Among All 54 African countries:

  • 30 voted for the resolution (56% of African countries)
  • 15 voted to abstain (28% of African countries)
  • 7 didn't bother to cast any vote (13% of African countries)
  • 2 voted against the resolution (4% of African countries)

As seen above, 56% of African states for the resolution asking Russia to withdraw from Ukraine.This is not a measure of hostility, but one of principle (i.e. respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity).

However, the remaining 47% of African states decided to either vote against the resolution; voted to abstain from the resolution; or did not even bother to attend UN General Assembly where the vote was taking place.

So why did a significant minority of African states refuse to throw Russia under the metaphorical bus? The answer to that question can be found by clicking at the link below:

Once again there is no shortage of things to discuss, from the political 'crisis' in Britain (theatre mostly IMHO), to the standstill in the US Iran negotiations and to the war in Ukraine.

The latter in my opinion is the most important topic. Literally without exception everyone I talked to in Russia about the war told me that they see the war not as a conflict between Russia and Ukraine but as another in the seemingly endless succession of wars against Russia by the West. The latest comments by Putin suggest he thinks the same thing.

If this is indeed an actual military conflict between the West and Russia, a West Russia war in fact, and not just a proxy war, of the sort we used to see during the Cold War, then that of course has enormous, and ominous, implications.

Much therefore to talk about.

A good one!

A useful update to avoid misinformation. It comes from Military Summary channel, they have reported that the Zelensky cohorts have been rehashing their material from over a year ago and posting it in English as to represent today’s battlefield positions.
I thought worth sharing, I’m sure it’s the kind of misinformation that Vonderlying and co are happy about, but for the rest of us we need to rely on sharing information from those we trust.

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.
