Disgusted by the United States blocking a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, an emergency procedure was used at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday to force a vote. By a margin of 153-10, the countries of the world called for an end to Biden and Netanyahu’s massacre.
With outrage growing around the world at the U.S.-Israeli genocide of Palestinians, a resolution was proposed at the United Nations Security Council last Friday that called for a ceasefire. Thirteen countries voted in favor, the UK abstained, and the U.S. voted no.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious everyday that the dominance of the USA empire will have to crumble before the world can start improving.
But even with this resolution passed, the UN does not have the ability to enforce their decision.
So the countries that voted either way knew it was an empty gesture that would not change the situation on the ground.
Those that voted against the USA got to appear righteous without having to actually do anything.
Those that voted with the USA reaffirmed their loyalty to the USA without having to actually do anything.
Every UN delegate got paid their wages and got to sleep safely after the vote while achieving nothing.
The USA was not humiliated, it was just another day of improv theatre at the UN.
Since when is the US an empire?
Since they had a base in every corner of the globe with multiple outpost territories and a neo-colonial relationship with much of the developing world.
Realistically it has for most of its history, but it’s real zenith was the post WW2 period.
