Chair, today the United States expresses opposition to this resolution, a document most notable for its thinly veiled attempts to legitimize longstanding Russian disinformation narratives smearing neighboring nations under the cynical guise of halting Nazi glorification.
If Russia actually cared about fighting Nazi ideology then Aleksandr Dugin’s ideas wouldn’t be so popular in the Kremlin.
I don’t know rick, the United States seems pretty nazi to me. Ukraine could have just hidden behind the abstention (like all the other pseudo-fascists cowards) and the motion would have not passed anyway. But they choose to vote against the glorification of nazism.
Yes, because as I just pointed out, they’re flatly rejecting a disinformation narrative that was in service of eroding their national sovereignty. Given this vote preceded their being invaded (again) by Russia, I can understand it. And again, Russia isn’t interested in eliminating far right ultranationalist sentiment; the call is coming from inside the house.
Here’s the US justification for the No vote.
