      France, Russia, and China also blocked the second resolution to authorize the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

      Things really never change.

      Grabbing my popcorn 🍿

      I’m sure people will have geopolitically and morally informed views on the subject

      Also

      Fuck Trump and his war. Dude is launching wars to destabilize entire world regions and his allies.

      Interesting… from Russian point of view, ground invasion probably would be net win… but at cost of loosing Iran. But with China and France vetoes, they can veto too and still look like trusted Iran’s allies.

      As I understood from the article, there hasn’t been a vote yet. 

      Apart from the three countries mentioned, there are several others in the council of ten that do not support the resolution.

       On the other hand, why would the Gulf countries need this resolution if their territory is being shelled, and thus they already have a perfectly legal casus belli to declare war on their own?

       So it’s quite possible that not everything is as simple as it seems. 

      Likely, the Arab countries do not want to be seen as taking the same side as Israel and the US, who are acting as the aggressors in this war.

      Why do the Golf countries even ask, just say “right to defend themselves”

      Your title is quite misleading. They plan to veto UN resolution about allowing use of military force to ensure free passage through the straight

      France, as usual, being France. 🇫🇷

      Notice how the UK always plays the coward’s card

      The good company of (checks notes) two countries with some of the worst human rights records of the planets. One of them is currently invading Ukraine while the other watches and prepares its own wars of imperialist expansion.

      Why should that be celebrated?

      Does France need to cast a vote? If not should have played dumbed and abstained.

      Iran, for one, wouldn’t give two shits about “justified war”, given they have been happily enabling Russian in wrecking Ukraine and EU in the future.

      Russian and its enablers are on the same page when it comes to whacking western countries, no matter what. It is only western powers bickering among themselves.

      Isn’t Iran Russia’s whatever you call it – influence state in the middle east?

      Lol if you read the headline the vote hasn’t even happened yet but yes that will probably be their vote. And apparently Ukraine wants to get in on the action. What a clown show I wonder if they’re planning on sending their nazi battalion to hormuz. That would so perfect. Literal nazis fighting for Isreal. LMAO what a timeline
