Thank God we are educated and we know more than what we are just told in the media. People can still write and read, and make their own conclusions facts based.

Here is a quote from the United Nation's website: "The Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security." Does it sound like this is what is actually happening? NO. "Why does the person that openly threatens the world with nuclear weapons reside at the UN Security Council and not in prison, or a psychiatric ward?Why is he listened to by politicians and journalists, and not the judge or nurses?", Anton Gerashchenko

Lavrov shouldn’t turn up at all.Russia has no business in the u n .

[Sam-pnkc]

I dont understand why doing they dont arrest Lavrov then he will talk

[alammutiara]

US: Ukraine will make America great again

[royshaul]

Just need to ramp up support for Ukraine ….. its time to send in the tanks and planes. We have them, its what they were built for, we have decided to support Ukraine and they need them.

If nato n US didnt instigate, non of it wd have happened

[patrickkinney]

Of course it fell on deaf ears. Just like when Russia wanted to talk about security concerns. Blinken said it was not negotiable

[theretiringbarber]

Russia will pay for this for the next 100 years .

I am sick and tired to reiterate that per Article 27 subdivision 3 of the United Nation Chapter, a member of the Security Council shall abstain from voting on any matter in decisions under Chapter VI, i.e., pacific settlement of disputes that likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security. Nonetheless, nobody protests, and Russia keeps vetoing.

Funny thing Victoria Nulland literally sitting just behind Blinken!

[crazieeez]

Russia is running out of people. With the exodus and negative population growth rate, in 3 years Russia will have like 15M people left.

[Yasenpe]

Trouble always comes with US "democracy". But US is a master in blaming other.

[AidanS]

China out here trying to gain support for conquering Taiwan. 🤣

[MDSR]

Blinken said that If Russia stops fighting the war ends and if Ukraine stops fighting Ukraine ends . Now If Russia stops fighting imagine the the post war issues Russia will indure and Russia is too deep in this war and it is too late for them to pull out without serious consequences

[friendoftellus]

Everything Lavrov accuses Ukraine of doing; is in reality what Russia are doing themselves !!!!

[toradora]

China: _Sovereignty integrity of all countries should be respected._

Taiwan/Hong Kong: _Am I a joke to you?_

[Chinunit]

Interesting fact, look it up. Russia now has Afghanistan and now sending Taliban natural gas, oil and wheat. U.S had made a huge mistake by Afghanistan withdrawal and chose to help Zelensky instead.

I never thought I'd live to witness a Nuclear war and then die as a result of it! So grateful

[mikhailandreev]

Blinken does not understand that their leadership is over?
