This is the latest meeting of the UNSC. The president of this meeting was Bahrain 🤡 Literally, a US puppet so you can probably guess how deeply biased the meeting was.
The only good takeaway is that Russia was great at pointing out the cause of the war. I still haven’t finish yet but get ready for the trash takes in case you all watch this meeting.
Edit. China’s take wasn’t very good. They are trying too hard to keep the GCC’s happy. At least, Russia was honest about saying that their business partners are being affected but Russia never went into taking all of the GCC claims at face value regarding Iran as China did. Disappointing.
As for the rest of the GCC and the other US dogs, I couldn’t stand them so I skipped them. Hopefully, someone stronger than me could give them a listen to see if they get anything of value. Although, I doubt anything of value will be mentioned by puppets.
I don’t know if it’s intentional, but it looks to me like Russia and China are playing out a sort of “bad cop, good cop” dynamic. Russia articulates the more uncompromising anti-imperialist position while China tries to court US vassals away with diplomacy and trade deals. Just because a lot of Arab states are US vassals now doesn’t mean they have to stay that way forever.
There are some that i think are too far gone and beyond salvation (like UAE), but i do think that as the position of the US weakens and associating with it becomes more of a liability than an advantage, as countries see that the US only brings chaos and instability while China offers stability and prosperity, some of them can be peeled away from the vassal system that the US has built.
Even in Europe - which imo will be the last holdouts clinging to the dying empire out of racist/colonial solidarity - there are some countries that before long i can see abandoning the sinking NATO ship and jumping on the BRICS train. All it will take is a little regime change, which may come quicker than we expect if the current crisis really blows up and becomes utterly catastrophic in Europe.
China, as usual, is playing the long game. Even if doing so means making some “dirty” compromises in the short term.
