ER Editor: So the US has officially repudiated UN criticism of Russia over the Ukraine war, voting against this UN Resolution backed by Europe. Historic. Here is Zerohedge on this —
Shock & Outrage Over ‘Shameful’ US Vote At The United Nations
There’s been ‘shock’ and disappointment among European as well as former US government officials at how the United Nations General Assembly vote went on Monday.
In something unprecedented while the Ukraine war has been on, now having reached the three-year mark, the United States voted alongside Russia to veto European attempts to strengthen language related to a resolution on the conflict’s anniversary.
In total 18 countries voted against the Ukrainian-drafted resolution at the UN General Assembly that condemned Moscow and called for a Russian withdrawal from Ukraine.

Russia & The US’ Diplomatic Choreography At The UN Shows Their Commitment To A “New Détente”
The “NewDétente”, which refers to the ongoing efforts between Russia and the US to enter into a rapprochement in the New Cold War similar in spirit to what they agreed to half a century ago during the Old Cold War, is no longer speculation after the US’ pivot towards Russia at the UN.
The US joined Russia in vetoing a resolution from the General Assembly that condemned Russia for its special operation, and then Russia sided with the US in supporting the latter’s more neutral one in the Security Council.
This diplomatic choreography was clearly coordinated between Putin and Trump to show the entire world that they’re committed to the “New Détente”. In parallel with what was unfolding on the world stage, each leader also spoke highly about the future of their economic ties, with Trump hyping everyone up to expect “major economic transactions” while Putin hinted at cooperation in the aluminum and rare earth industries. This followed their representatives discussing Arctic energy cooperation in Riyadh.
A reminder that CIC Trump, during his second ‘Biden’ term, never stopped talking to Putin.

U.S. Votes Against U.N. Resolution Condemning Russia Over Ukraine War
21st CENTURY WIRE
“While our partners at the Security Council and in the General Assembly would like to debate the entire situation now, we are much more focused on just getting the parties to the table so that whatever the next step is can be undertaken,” the official said
Richard Gowan, a U.N. expert at the International Crisis Group, said the divide between the United States and Europe marked “the biggest split among Western powers at the U.N. since the Iraq War — and probably even more fundamental.”
