Israel has voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling to reaffirm Ukraine’s territorial integrity, rejecting a strongly worded condemnation of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor on the third anniversary of the war.

Eighteen countries voted against the resolution, 93 voted in favor, and 65 abstained.

    You don’t get to be the President of the most powerful country in the world if you’re stupid.

    Benefit of the doubt, most recent presidents (and politicians in general) in America are fucking idiots.

    You don’t win elections by being intelligent and having good plans. You do it by being charismatic and convincing your base that you’ll do what they want. Or the other option is the incumbent is such a fucking dumpster fire people want anything else.

    trump says he’ll do what his voters want and they believe him and genuinely like his personality.

    They shouldn’t, but they did. Same thing they fell for with trump in 2016, GW before that, and Reagan before that and Nixon even earlier.

    HW and Ford are the outliers, they had zero charisma. But they each got their single terms as continuations from Reagan and Nixon. Coincidentally they’re the only two “recent” Republican presidents I wouldn’t object to someone calling intelligent…

    And Republicans rejected them for it.
