And Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield just said.... 'An attack on Ukraine is tantamount to an attack on the UN'.

Lol. Are these fools forgetting that Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto authority?
Nope, Diplomats gotta do their diplomatic stuff in times of crisis, regardless of who is on the council. If they didn't, people would wonder why they are paid to type all that stuff that they type, on flattened processed trees. Now thanks to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, we can rest a little easier those diplomats are all on the job.

A little off topic but we had a training class at work this week and we were handed printed training material on the importance of reducing waste and not printing out so many handouts. It was kind of depressing and comical at the same time

And they did not see the irony? Nobody asked themselves if they really needed a 'hand-out' for this? That is funny shit.

I am sure it all made sense to someone who justifies their job printing useless information out.

What a pathetic exhibition it was .l

Moscow is supporting the Russian separatists and pre-empting retaliatory action by ' demilitarisation and denazification '.
Normal sensible strategy which hurts the US but that is what happens when you stick out your chin and make big empty noises .
All brought on by the US as usual.

This could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia’s border--- Tulse Gabbard . A smart woman .

So ready to apologize about your saying this was a false flag? No? Or are you moving the goalposts with threads like this?

Go read again what I said in that thread. I said it could be.

An attack on the UN? Is she ready to back that up or is she just running her mouth like Biden?

Are the Russians chairing it?
Probably.

If the UN continues to allow Russia to have veto power in the SC after this, it'll prove without a doubt how fracked up the UN is.

So what? Member countries criticizing, even verbally attacking, other member countries is a long tradition within the UN.

Congrats, once again, on being completely wrong. 👏
