Russian invasion of Ukraine

Anyone else picking up vibes from Washington that, even if Russia attacked a NATO partner, the US wouldn't want to get involved in a war with Russia?

No

Did you hear the comments of the UAE representative? She was pretty clear that the Russian action was wrong and that the territorial integrity of member states had to be respected.

They have an excellent relationship with Russia and sometimes a critical friend having a quiet word can be more effective than someone hostile screaming in your face. I'd be more interested in what they're saying to Putin privately than meaningless gestures in the useless UN talking shop.

What really surprises me, is that nobody on here has spelt it EUA yet!

What would you want the yanks do ?

I want not just the yanks everyone to stand up to this **** and show him he can’t bully the world if he fires any sort of nuke Russia will be destroyed as well he is a clever fucker who think by threats he can do what the fuck he wants where does it end

Watch some joker spin this as the UAE establishing its "independence".

The UAE does not do what the British Foreign Office tells them to do any more.

It's irrelevant anyway as far as this topic is concerned.

It's not just the British Forugn Office though is it ? Plenty of other countries that they have "an excellent relationship" with have managed to register their disgust at this formally in the UN. The weasel words of their representative are just that if you aren't prepared to back a unified response by voting. Putin's regime will certainly view it as being supportive.
Comes a point when the blue tinted specs need to be cleaned a little.

So, the rulers of UAE are cunts ?
We all knew that anyway, didn't we ?

It's all in hand, the beeb's taking advice from master tactician Ralphy Ragnick.

Was the UN motion going to pass if the UAE had voted for it?

That's what has been surfacing in the social media last few days in my opinion too.
Among other things, many consider Putin to be a strong leader who follows up his words with action where as West looked helpless, mostly not realizing that Putin had no concern for plight of his own people.
Also, UN is considered useless when big powers are involved in the conflict.

So you think that the Russian invasion of the Ukraine is acceptable?
