“The U.S. cannot afford to be further isolated by vetoing this resolution,” said one human rights advocate.
The United Nations Security Council on Monday delayed an expected vote on a new Gaza cease-fire resolution as the U.S. worked to weaken the measure’s language, objecting to the proposed call for an “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities.”
You nailed it!! I’m thinking they are basically trying to neuter the proposal so they don’t have to veto it again while still keeping Lockheed and friends happy…
@shreddy_scientist If they can secure funding for Ukraine they can pull aid for Israel (Israel doesn’t actually need it, a lot of people don’t understand that) and then transfer that business to Ukraine. It will keep Lockheed et. al. happy, and get them invested in lobbying to set up a permanent stream of aid/military support to European countries bordering Russia.
