TorquayFan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) At the UN yesterday, China abstained instead of voting against the resolution, (supported by more than 70 countries), which condemned Putin's madness in Ukraine. I had expected China to vote against the Resolution. India abstained - I'm guessing that they are in deep hock to Russia in some way. The UAE also abstained, failing to join the other 11 Security Council Members condemning the invasion. What's their excuse I wonder? Irrelevant as it is in the great scheme of things - food for thought when buying my next ticket for the UK.

India they have to bend to Vlad because of India/China Himalaya's problems and also depend too much on Vlad market UAE that's due to their BIG dependency on Russia high value tourists, the ones with the big boats and football teams... Unfortunately there are no longer loyalty allegiances, it's all based on the $$$ or Pound or Euro, look at Germany, Italy and France they didn't agree to cut Russia out off the SWIFT because of the $$$$$$ but they keep saying they are trying to help, in a simple word HYPOCRISY hypocrisy /hɪˈpɒkrəsi/ noun 1. the practice of claiming to have higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case: "his target was the hypocrisy of suburban life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorquayFan Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hi Mavie - I understand Italy and France might be relenting on 'Swift'. Re. UAE - irrelevant as it is in the great scheme of things and food for thought - I won't be choosing Emirates or Etihad for my flight to UK.
