This sort of explains it

No I don't think he will care at all. He has other alies just a little bump in the road for him isn't it he will get over it
I seen this I can't believe he was alone
He has no other powerful allies other than China. So this is big.
I pray it makes a difference
Yeah, exactly. This is about as good as the UN is able to deliver and it's a good result. Nobody stood by Russia. Russia, as the president of the security council, was forced to read out the list of all other countries opposing them. It's an extremely long list.
They have been completely isolated on the world stage and it's a damning indictment of their actions. The UN is a space for jaw-jaw, as opposed to war-war.
Oh yes, I won’t shed a tear for any of them but Lavrov in particular makes my skin crawl. Hopefully they’ll all get what they deserve.
@Mark81 excuse my ignorance, I’m trying to educate myself in the politics.
Do they need a unanimous decision for resolution?
Do they need a unanimous decision for resolution?
But if China are still going to buy Russian food and gas and oil to make up for sanctions I'm not sure if it really is going to make a difference. They won't condone it, but also not stopping it.
He was already going it alone (with belarus) anyway
Also saw Canada are adding Belarus to their sanctions as well as russia
I 100 per cent agree! Sadly many leaders climb to the top using narcissistic Machiavellism. The good ones tend to be kept down and we are left with superegos
I never thought I would miss Theresa May but somehow I do
I'm no expert but I think because one member state vetoed it then it automatically fails. But there is another level they go to where Russia won't have a say so may pass then
Yeah I agree but they aren't being hostile to us and now I certainly don't think they would back Putin invading a NATO country. So I think it will stop at Ukraine as he won't have the backing there.
They’re not backing him but they’re also not not-backing him. They’re trying to stay neutral, they don’t want putin after their countries especially as they are not NATO members so are basically on their own if Russia retaliated to them voting against them
Did you see Ontario are really hitting them where it hurts? Quote in the article: 'The LCBO is one of the world's largest buyers of booze, importing alcohol from 80 countries and carries at least six brands of Russian vodka.'
Ontario directs LCBO to remove all Russian-made products from shelves
The Ontario government has directed the LCBO to remove all products produced in Russia from store shelves.
I think its more to do with borders. I know India has some issues with China too. So I think its probably a case of the best they can do without upsetting RussiaIndia also abstaining. Funny how the countries with the highest numbers of nuclear weapons are doing so…
They're basically turning their backs saying it's not our problem.
It's a win in that China doesn't look like it will join Russia in battle. But not sure how much difference it will make right now
Thank you I'm all a bit confused by this. Also nice to see that profile picture ma lovlie
No he wouldn't.
The other plus to China abstaining is it may make a Taiwan invasion less likely by china. And if Russia were to go into a nato country China likely wouldn't support them so it would be Russia alone against the west. It eases the chance of ww3 a bit
It's now up to Congress to vote to pass the bill.
Which is why we have to defend ourselves, and help out other Countries when asked. There's a huge cost to it but it must be borne.
Im really glad I came across this thread. You guys talk alot of sense and for the likes of me who doesn't know much and still learning as I go. Thank you plus not as overwhelming as the news
