The year of the hypocrites and the puppets
HAHAHAHAHA
So the United States was spreading misinformation and misusing the power! That’s how they know it’s possible
kick the terrorist criminal out of UNSC…ITS DISGUSTING AND IRRITATING.
Sick Russia needs removing
but all the other nations can and should boycott any meeting at that useless organization.
What a friggin display of arrogance in his short reply when questioned about Ukraine
Russia did not start this war, war was thrust upon them. In 2014 they elected a clown as presidesnt of ukrain. How come us officials say russians are not behaving properly. If russia placed weapons in cuba usa will attack cuba. So what is the difference. All usa officials are modern day malvolios. They have yellow stockings cros gartered at the knee. Why are these usa clowns behave as if they own the world. In the next birth they might end up as animals if these usa clowns dont behave properly. Life is not what usa thinks. In the next few days usa will get the biggest jolt of the century. This is what happens to smart people who are also foolish. I only hope ghouls dont take over the world. God save humanity from human ghouls. The chief lives in my home. In 25 yrs he has never been able to control me. Thro buddhist studies i have defeated him. This is why i say the whole world should learn the buddhist principles. No one needs to convert. Its better to get the protection of the buddha while you can. If these sinners end up as prethayas they will not have any water fr 10000 years. When all other religions dont even know what happens after death, the buddha explained accurately what happens once you die. All this was 2500 yrs ago when westerners were in tree leaves. Entire world pl learn some buddhism if not ghouls will take you over and you wouldnt know what hit you. Tgeruwan saranai to the whole world.
United Nations is a waste of time if it let the country that coursing genocide take the chair its ridiculous 🙄
One would expect that the US Embarrassment to the UN would decline to answer journalists questions on this matter as they have no authority to speak on being president of the Security Council whilst invading another country.
What a farce the UN has become
Russian Presidency is question much because of USA and NATO proxy war. In Ukraine against Russia. Why there was till now NOT A SINGLE QUESTION about US and UK role in aggression, Intimation , occupation and crime against humanity in many countries in the world? American interest, American first , American world leadership, American allies , American military action, American occupation and American sanction against ICC itself and many more are not question during their Presidency. Why others are axis of evil, culturally backward, coloured people, uncivilized, autocratic and bad and only bad? And need subject to whiteman rule? Or they called it international base rule? How can we accept it now? It’s 21st century and an era of artificial intelligence.?
Suck it up little western pnssies
The audacity of the US to dictate other countries is appalling, unbelievable!!!!
@Ross Evans the world does belong to USA spreading democracy lies through CNN, wp, nyt, mainstream media, USA NATO invade Afghanistan, Libya, Vietnam, Congo, somalia, Syria, Iraq, somalia, Sudan, Yugoslavia, Serbia, USA have 754 base all over the world just to create conflict and regime change in other countries, right now they still have base Syria stealing their oil what do call that hypocrisy
@Ross Evans What is the meaning of “we epect them narrative” what do you call that? It means that the Russian President of the Chamber should work from the expectation that the US wants him to do? Watch the whole video Ross and please try to understand what are they talking because it is in English my dear lol!!!!!
@Clot Ure I watch it Clot but I guess you need to watch it again and again because clearly, you do not understand what this video is all about. What is the answer of the Russian President of the Chamber, some country is pretending that they can decide on their own rule who they want or who they did not want to be the President of the Security Council? What is that mean to you Clot Ure, they are talking English here my dear lol!!!!
@Mysterious Travels I would suggest that you first become familiar with the English meaning of the word ‘expect’. If I am to use your current understanding of the word ‘expect’ you are inferring that Linda Thomas-Greenfield (0:42) is ‘dictating’ that Russia, “use their seat to spread disinformation and promote their own agenda as it relates to Ukraine”.
@Ross Evans What did the Russian President of Security answer him” some country think that they can decide on their rule who they want and do they do not want to be the President of the Chamber, what is that mean Ross? Whatever your argument, it only means one thing, the Chamber will never ever act according to your own will and The US is not a powerful country anymore, China is the powerful country now.
Pirate culture is the main cornerstone of Western culture. The reason is that the ancestors of Europeans did not like to work hard on the land with sweat and labor to grow food crops. So they often obtain food by hunting wild animals which required much less labor. When the number of wild animals dwindled, there were not enough meat to meet their food needs, they began to rob each other.
When they learned to build ships, they began to rob each other at sea and in coastal settlements, becoming pirates. Meat eating, aggressive, plundering and captive gradually become the characteristics of Western culture.
As the cornerstone of the entire Western culture, Westerners not only have no shame or guilt for their occupation of other people’s land, plundering of other people’s property and capturing others as slaves, but also praise these tendencies of theirs. This cultural characteristic still persists today. The law of the jungle and the strong take all are still distinctive features of Western culture.
The difference is that ancient Western pirates used wooden ships, while modern Western pirates use steel ships.
The aircraft carrier fleets of the United States and the West cruise around the world’s oceans to deter and terrify countries, coerce countries to submit to their demands and serve their interests. Any country that dares to resist their demands in order to protect its own interests will be punished, launching warplanes from ships and firing missiles, just like their ancestors did to massacre those who resist.
The aircraft carrier fleets of the United States and the West are really their modern pirate ships. The officers and soldiers on the fleet played the role of pirate crews, just as the ancient western pirate crews were robbers recognized by their respective governments.
Have you talked to your psychiatrist about it?
@Thomas Läubli Did your CIA agent pay your 0.50 cents?
Great Summary and Explanation of the Anglo Saxon pirate pigs, couldn’t have explained better, old habits die hard am i right?
@Thomas Läubli Already. Eight of them. All of them agreed with my views.
@Hassanah Abraham and your view is russia=good, the west=bad?
What a joke of a statement. The US has no moral high ground to stand on or comment on regarding anything. They have been the biggest war mongering nation, and have caused scores of conflicts, killing millions innocents in the last 70 years. All under the guise of “we’re doing the right thing”, but in truth, it’s nothing but furthering their influence, interests, and empire. Trying to surround Russia, and China while pointing the finger saying they’re the aggressor.
Don’t make the UN a dustbin….if don’t want Russia declare WW 3…want to see the great USA suffer.
The Big Question here is does USA ever behave Professionally?? Stop, Think and use your american brain if there is 1 before lecturing others.
Think about it, the president of the UN Security Council is in charge of maintaining peace and stability while his country Russia has invaded a sovereign nation, bombarding cites and killing civilians on a daily basis in Ukraine. How wrong and insane is to have Russia held this membership and position at the UN Security Council? Yet this president’s leader is designated a war criminal by 121 countries at the International Criminal Court. Wow!
What a joke
US and all those euros should be put in place. Now is a time to start with the investigation of terroristic attacks on nord stream and look into colonial politics of the US, it’s puppet states and corrupted Ukrainian regime and the black market of Ukrainian weapons on and on. So many things to do…
That shows how flawed the UN Security Council is…. UN needs to be dissolved and replaced with a more representative body that meets the needs of all countries and where all countries have a voice
You do realize the US also chaired the security council many times during the illegal invasion of Iraq that started in 2003.
US lecturing the rest of us how to bahave 😂😂
The irony 😂😂
oh yes because russia is such a good example
@Frederik Pedersen Yeah well it has had a better record than the countless coups and toppling of democratically elected leaders through the years. You want to talk about it, son?
@Frederik Pedersen. the US is definitely not,that’s the point
@Andromeda365 no the point is that both are bad examples, and if I ask whether bush and putin should stand before trial, I never get an answer. It seems many in here are not interested in anti-imperialism but solely anti-americanism.
what controversy ?? you would have be a pro west slave to think there is a controversy. This is been going on for years and has been going on for years but its controversy this year 🤣🤣
It’s a good thing. Shows how useless the UN is
Might as well bend over the UN to all the terrorists. Makes a mockery of what the UN stands for!
dirty tricks by russia…un should thro russis out of the council or are they all gutless and are really supporting russias invasion of ukraine..time will tell
Countries which invaded Iraq violating all international norms have no right to raise questions on Russia. The Iraq invasion was unprovoked, and we all know the Ukraine invasion was a reaction to west’s actions
The UNSC is useless & toothless. Part of the issue is having 5 permanent members (out of 15) with veto power. UNSC is supposed to be about peace yet we have Russia as a permanent member. It’s all talk and no action. Enough!
What a joke
26 million Russians died fighting the Nazis. 26 million !!
They have earned that seat with blood.
I as an Irish person expect the USA and it’s adopted children to cooperate and maintain a core focus on peace around the world. Not to throw their toys out of the pram and neglect the world because of their bitterness.
Why on earth would they do that? They literally asked for the Ukraine conflict to happen.
@Tristan Banks they asked for it by urging putin not to invade. Funny logic you have
@Frederik Pedersen do you think at all CNN BCC MSN mainstream media has brainwashed your brain you only think one way, try to watch other channels like redacted, jimmy dore, the dive, Jeffrey Sachs, Scott Ritter, Douglas macgregor all this are from the USA they tell the truth not lies CNN BCC MSN mainstream media
@Frederik Pedersen we should expect the same from each member who has a seat at the table. There are many more conflicts active right now in the world far more than the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There are many regions and far more people in the world that require peace. I expect full commitment and cooperation by all and no wasteful classroom antics that includes my own nations position under the department of foreign affairs lead by but I wouldn’t get my hopes up as Minister Charles Flanagan has done a great job at offending the Irish people many times before.
@Darren MacEochaidh O’Neill yes agreed
UN: every good thing Russia is doing is bad
Also UN: every bad thing that western allies are doing is good
and according to you:
Russia: good
the west: evil
West is useless
Whataboutism.
@R K hypocrisy
😂😂😂😂
Terror state Russia
Such a hypocrite nation, shamelessly they justify millions of killing in Iraq Syria Lebanon n so many 😏
Vamos RUSSIA 🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran all have a plan and Biden gave them the red carpet
USA also lead through invasion of iraq
😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉SNL SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is now # SECURITY no LIVES@ UN SECURITY COUNCIL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂just as certain for hire ICC Judges😂😂😂😂😂WAR CRIMES????oh how much bribery does that take to Bury them😢🎉😂
This is a joke of the century.
Now is Russia’s turn
US has done its propaganda, ofcourse what do u expect 😏
USA did it for years! No one said a thing!
🍿
This only confirms that the UN Security Council is not fit for purpose.
Al Jazeera is becoming too biased and pro western.
There is no controversy at all.
Much more people on earth suffered from the crimes committed by USA, UK and France and they headed the council. Now Nato is presenting us a “holy cow” and “superior race”? That is pure racism
What America spread is peace n Harmony.
But what Russia spreads is propaganda 🤔.
Did anyone hold USA hold accountable for what is happening in middle east
This is a nasty slap to the face of civilized humanity. The rules must be adjusted to prevent this from ever happening again.
Crybaby keep crying and trying to change the rules in the middle of the game.
We saw what your so called [civilized humanity] did to middle eastern countries like iraq-syria-afghanistan and beyond, you can keep your [civilized] bs to yourself or shove it where the light doesn’t shine bud.
An American talks about professionalism and integrity and then invokes idiotic commentary about Russia using disinformation and propagating its own agenda. Really?
Someone should explain what professionalism truly means to this woman.
At he last UN Assembly Ukraine vote their were big calls to protect the charter ! to prevent this present situation from keep happening where a permanent Security council member can single handily rhold the Security council hostage to its outdated rules and rendering it totally unfit for purpose ! and now the optics of having a wanted war criminal sat on the UN security council in judgement of others ! imagine if the Nazis had the Veto at the Nuremburg war crimes trials !
The UN have never been in good hands than this time
Congratulations ❤🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
We don’t need terrorist friends here. Delete your account.
The wests hypocrisy is staggering…so while Libya and iraq and the hundreds of coups and invasions and everything under the sun was happening..did we question the chairmanship
Russia is 100% percent capable of their presedency 👍 Russia unsc do not need any help or advice from the USA with their Western arlies 😂👅 let the USA with their Western arlies live Russia with their ailies alone 😂😝 Russia unsc do not lies against anyone or to the world the will act correct and fiar 💯 I believe that they USA with their ailies feel angry 😡 that why they continue to inject💉 and ask more and more necessary question ⁉️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very good indeed. Zelensky can stick his tongue up his a$$
The US ambassador is expressing her own views.
Bobby Chang she’s expressing her hypocrisy
So there is controversy when Russia takes over the unsc.but there was no controversy when uk and America took over during the time when one million Iraqis were killed during the gulf war?
Glory to the Russian Federation’s great nation on earth. Bravo 👏🇷🇺🌹👍🏻
Tam się przejmować co głupcy mówią. Do ukarania tych darmozjadów mądrych inaczej. Amerykanie to naprawdę miłośnicy westernów. Stąd ten prymitywizm w myśleniu prowadzący do kultu tandety. Co konkretnie zarzuca się tym tuzom intelektu? Bo ja bym ich oskarżyła o planowaną i przemyślaną ucieczkę z Afganistanu aby dzięki panice wykorzystać Polskę do przejęcia odpowiedzialności za Afganistan. A dzięki temu wykorzystując paranoję polskich politykow i rusofobie doprowadzic do wojny na Ukrainie. Ale nie sądzę, żeby sami na to wpadli. Bo oni tylko realizowali wizję, której elementem jest wygrana Ukrainy jako misja. A wszystko tłumaczą słowa Putina: “Trzeba położyć kres nieodpowiedzialnej polityce wprowadzania demokracji z zewnątrz, która nie liczy się z tradycją i kulturą narodów”. Teraz wszyscy ponosimy cenę położenia kresu tej nieodpowiedzialnej polityce. USA też. Dlatego nie rozwiązywać problemów zastępczych czy urojonych z racji paranoi. Problem prawdziwy to kult tandety w demokracji czyli prymitywizmu w myśleniu. Bo Putin to mistrz szermierki słownej. Zresztą ja 25 lutego 2022 wyjaśniłam co to znaczy. Putin określił szerzenie demokracji jako rewolucje kulturową I proponował ewolucję kulturową czyli wygraną dla wszystkich. USA wykorzystując poczucie krzywdy ukraincow postanowiły, że wygrana będzie tylko jedna strona. A ta jedna strona to wtedy handlarze bronią. Zatem wszyscy muszą przegrać. USA też. Teraz mądrzy przywódcy czyli przywódca Chin i Rosji muszą wszystkich ratować bo rozumieją, że z racji globalizacji cały świat działa jak jeden organizm a nie zespół luźno powiązanych ze sobą elementów. Chrześcijaństwo potrzebuje mądrych przywódców bo głupi to bluźniercy. Sprawdzają na ile Bóg jest wszechmocny I czy uratuje ich przed zagładą do której dążą. Ich może i uratuje, bo w porę uciekną. Ale co z nami? Mam tu ciekawe podsumowanie mentalności Amerykanów :). Cytuję: “Amerykanie są znani z okrzyku do diabła z torpedami. Cała naprzód. Ten bojowy okrzyk siega czasów wojny secesyjnej. Bohater naszych filmów to John Wayne, samotny jeździec. Brudny Harry. Rambo. To nie są filozofowie. To w ogóle nie są ludzie, którzy wiele myślą. To ludzie czynu. Nie są ostrożni. Cechuje ich brawura. Nie zważają na to co się stanie. Robią to, co chcą bez względu na wszystko. A my ich naśladujemy. Nic dziwnego że nie zatrzymujemy się aby ocenić konsekwencje naszych słów zanim je wypowiemy. Musimy się nauczyć myśleć w trakcie wymiany zdań”. Jak widać z wypowiedzi przywódców-mądrość wschodu to mądrość. Życie to nie jest western i syndrom Johna Wayne’a nie jest potrzebny. Bo w odróżnieniu od westernu w prawdziwym życiu żaden DOBRY UCZYNEK nie pozostanie bez kary jeśli nie widzimy związków przyczynowo skutkowych…Gdy naszych rzeczników nie obchodzą skutki ich decyzji, a decyzję podejmują dzięki myśleniu grupowemu to są naszymi rzeźnikami. Czy daliśmy im takie prawo? No i jeszcze jedno…
Mam pytanie…Czy naprawdę nikt nie rozumie co znaczy określenie Oświęcim miasto pokoju? Paradoksalnie to znaczy, że Oświęcim patronuje misji multikulti, którą ma UE I NATO. No a papież mówi o tym, że NATO do wojny podzegalo. Zatem Oświęcim broniąc pokoju został wykorzystany przez tych, którzy nie chcąc powtórki z czasów II wojny światowej wspierają podzegacza do wojny aby zapanował pokoj…Chyba wieczny…Bo rusofobia ma dawać pretekst do wojny…
So what? We in the US lost count of how many countries we invaded and how many governments we’ve toppled. Where’s the outrage on that?
“we expect they will behave professionally”…..lol…you mean bend the knee to the U.S.
Stop using drugs.
And all those countries joining China and many more will support him Just to make mockery of the USA and its allies.
Do you forget US and their criminals allies invaded Iraq 🤷♂️
Useless un
Go Russia go hard and strong
I hope the U.S. doesn’t deny Lavrov a visa to enter NY.
The UN was created with a permanent big 5 and the rest. Today, the way it is is United for Nothing.
Naahhh.. America, the hypocrites, we invaded Iraq and killed many innocent people for no reason at all and nobody said a thing, all of a sudden Russia’s the bad guy.
America the hypocrites.
Russians are rational people. No need to start branding them as the bully on the playground.
If they were rational they would not have invaded.
The failed invasion of Ukraine was/is Putin’s invasion not the Russian people’s invasion!
Can any country outcompete US in spreading disinformation? No, you would be dumb to think so.
SO THIS GUY SPEAKS ENGLISH
If Americans don’t like it, go home and shut your gobs
Brits have invaded most of the world . Someone tell them to shut up
This black women is disgusting. She forgot what the US did to her forefathers. The irony of turning a blind eye on the condition of black America. She stands there defending her owners. I guess she is the misses Tom!!
Where was russia when iraq was been invaded
Vasily Nebenzya is the propagandist of a terrorist state. So the UN Security Council has a war criminal as president. That says all we have to think of this organization.
The future is Russia and China and its a good thing so lets except and move on
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you’ll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..
💯*@Mrs_Salamal👈👈*
😊Yes, this lady is a blessing to the world. I’m happy to get Confidence back again, with only $900, earn $3600 every week 7days.
📡Very very important work
,,,,,,.No investment
No work
Why does AlJazeha have problems with following rules?
When George W Bush and Tony Blair are going to issue with Arrest Warrant by ICC.
Why western leaders are above law.
This is the height of hypocrisy.
What about Palestinian people doesn’t have right to what is happening to them .. Hypocrisy
What a mess. UN is a toothless lion. Get rid of it and let free countries create their own UN 2.0
The hypocrisy from the US has no boundaries..They lie for there own interest
US received no such criticism at the time they invaded Iraq and Lybia illegally. Please wake up! We are against both Russian invasion in Ukraine and the Western double-standard
Ruzzia today: War is peace – and lies are truth
What a joke. The monsters lead peace? Lol
A agressor have to stand back in UN……….SORRY PUTIN THATS LIFE
To get a driver license you need to show mental competence…UNSC Presidency must have the same rules.
Nebenzia telling us to believe that Ukraine invaded Russia, Putin isn’t a criminal…what more?…
UN, NATO = WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
The United Nations should apply Enemy Clauses to Russia.
Exactly why the UN is totally meaningless and useless, and we are all left to ask ourselves… Why do we even bother?
Russia should banned from the council.
Whats happening everyone what is russia trying to do to all, why are nations and world human rights people letting russia be part of UN nations security, security…
When the gigantic human rights and other violations human rights are gathering theyve done to all the different innocent people the years before, and invaded other human right regions the years before. Makes no sense. The UN said they were going to remove russia from the UN because of all that.
May peace prevail
Why any Autocracy is allowed in the UN escapes me…
its a joke ! this institution need to be reformed from ground up
