the muted, yet widely reported news that america will veto the unsc resolution on the embassy moving to jerusalem was expected. what imo was under reported - or under emphasized - was that
of the 15 current security council members (permanent and not) 14 voted 100% against the us position.
the 14 included the usual lap dogs and allies that hardly ever differed from the us united nations positions.
i wonder what happened to the us frequent utterances and referrals to the 'international community' isolating certain powers that america has a hard on for while in actuality it is the us that's increasingly getting isolated ?...
on environment, on iran, on north korea...even on certain aspects of its anti-russia psychosis...and now on jerusalem.
i am genuinely curious how many good and smart americans noticed the indisputable trend of their 'exceptional' country not only losing the moral superiority claim - that's a given after the endless illegal wars forking up the entire nations and regions - but more mundanely, 'the only superpower' being ignored and isolated ??
i will agree entirely that a clown like trump has greatly accelerated the trend. but i will also bet that most good and smart americans are outdated as to why it is so. they are mostly misinformed thru their msm - or dont want to venture - that it is their congress, both branches, that enabled, financed or did not stop the degradation.
pointing domestic fingers instead of a wider reflection is still a fave american sport
