Israel has voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, rejecting a strongly worded condemnation of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor on the third anniversary of the war.

Eighteen countries voted against the resolution, 93 voted in favor, and 65 abstained.

    I’m still hoping Trump’s doing some 4D chess thing here where he’s playing good cop while the rest of the world is playing bad cop. I like to think he’s in the phone to Putin like “I know everyone else hates you but I’m your mate, now let’s talk about a deal”. I’m not a fan of his or anything but I don’t think he’s stupid. You don’t get to be the President of the most powerful country in the world if you’re stupid. He may be a total bastard but he’s not stupid.

      I’m sorry friend, but this is what cognitive dissonance looks like.

      It’s an attempt at resolving the conflict between a belief (that Trump isn’t that bad, that a president has merit, that things will be ok) and reality, where everything we see him do is increasingly harmful, short sighted or self serving.

      Actions speak louder, please re-evaluate your beliefs based on what you see him do.
