US envoy to UN: 'Palestinians are not UN member state or any state at all'

It means more escalation in Palestine.

Just read that it seems America and Israel were humiliated.

UN Vote on Palestine a Humiliating Defeat for US & its Envoy

- Nikky Haley, the vociferously anti-Palestine US Ambassador to the United Nations, warned member states last year she will “take down names” of those who vote against American interests in the world body—perhaps with the implicit threat of cutting US aid to countries that refuse to play ball with the diplomatically-reckless Trump administration.

But that vengeance-driven head count – and no ball playing — could be a tedious exercise for the US when 146 out of 193 member states vote to affirm Palestine as the new chairman of the 134-member Group of 77, the largest single coalition of developing countries at the United Nations.

The 146 included some of the strongest Western allies of the US, plus four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council: UK, France, China and Russia.

The only two countries that stood sheepishly by the US were Israel, its traditional client state, and Australia, a newcomer to the ranks of US supporters.

some background...

I want to give some historical background on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The country currently known as Pakistan was basically split at one time between the Afghan Durrani Empire and the Sikh Empire.
The Durrani Empire ruled the northern parts of Pakistan and Balochistan (at one time they ruled all of Pakistan).
The Sikh Empire ruled the other parts of Pakistan and some parts of modern day India, basically all of Punjab and Kashmir.

The British were already making incursions into the Indian subcontinent through various means. They initially started this in 1620 or so when setting up trading posts. They also bribed local strongmen, hired local mercenaries to fight their battles and gain political and economic influence.

The British allied with the Sikh Empire to push the Afghan Durranis back.
As a result of that conflict, the modern-day-state of Afghanistan was created with its current borders
which bordered British India back then and Pakistan today.
The Afghans of course still remember this and this is why they don't really recognize their border with Pakistan
as a legitimate international border.

The British then went on to defeat and destroy the Sikh Empire.
The Sikhs never recovered from that humiliation and treachery of the British and from now on are basically under Hindu rule/control.
They never got their own country back.

It needs to be emphasized that the British did not overthrow or lead to the downfall of the Mughal Empire,
it was the Hindu empire, Marathas, who politically and militarily defeated the Mughals.

The British then destroyed
the Hindu Maratha Empire,
Mysore Empire (another Muslim kingdom in South India),
Oudh State (a Shia Muslim kingdom in Northern India)
and other smaller princeley states
to formally control all of the subcontinent.
All of this of course took centuries.

Putin on Russia's second strike deterrence doctrine: "If we find ourselves under nuclear attack, retaliation is inevitable. We will go to heaven as victims and martyrs, while the aggressor will croak without even having time to repent."
https://tass.ru/politika/5691255/amp …

The Globalists seem to be under the mistaken impression that they can win a nuclear war with Russia when in fact they cannot. That is exactly why I think WWIII is inevitable.

"Mr. Kushner has argued that the outrage over Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance and possible killing will pass, just as it did after other Saudi errors like the kidnapping of the prime minister of Lebanon and the killing of a busload of children in Yemen"

THIS is the globalist regime, the cabal that stole the government in the US. They pledge no allegiance to the people who they should represent. They are fully dedicated tot heir hegemonic agenda. The worst of the worst, criminals and traitors.
