UN Votes - Even Our Allies Think US is Often Wrong
No support for US UN Votes This Session
All of the Arab countries vote against the U.S. position 86 to 90% of the time. Japan votes against us 69% of the time. Canada - 51%, our close ally the U.K. votes against us 40% of the time.
There is only one close supporter of this administration - Israel - which only opposes the U.S. 11% of the time.
"Of the 83 resolutions we surveyed for our informal tally, in ten cases the U.S. was the only Member State to vote against them, and in five cases only one other nation joined the U.S. in voting against them. In fact, in over half the total cases (42 out of 83), the U.S. was supported by five or fewer Member States in voting against a U.N. resolution. So it isn't just the Arab/Islamic states who consistently vote against the U.S. in the United Nations — pretty much the rest of the world does, too."
el - Is it a conspiracy theory to point out that two countries seem linked together now?
