    because this is a russian resolution. so it’s russian propaganda of course, what else!!! mind you this resolution was first proposed in 2005 and has been voted almost every year, currently 21 times. so this is not some new development. always. the same. map.

    The only country to have voted “No” all 10 times is the United States of America. Other states that voted “no” prior to 2022 are Ukraine (7 times), Palau (4 times), Cape Verde (3 times), Kiribati (once), and Canada (once).

      More specifically I think because it pushes back against the “communism was just like fascism” notion and Western countries can’t have that.

      Both Spain and Ireland as far as I know are aggressively liberal/socdem and anticommunist.
