What the hell, even Spain and Ireland? Why..? I mean seems like it might’ve been an EU coordinated vote. But still wth Spain and Ireland. You’re supposed to be the not so shit ones.

Spain's government only recently started turning against the US, and this vote was in 2022.

As for Ireland, can't say.

because this is a russian resolution. so it's russian propaganda of course, what else!!!! mind you this resolution was first proposed in 2005 and has been voted almost every year, currently 21 times. so this is not some new development. always. the same. map.

The only country to have voted "No" all 10 times is the United States of America. Other states that voted "no" prior to 2022 are Ukraine (7 times), Palau (4 times), Cape Verde (3 times), Kiribati (once), and Canada (once).
