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.
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.
