A day that will live in infamy: the U.S.A. voted against a resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Will GOP politicians condemn this vote or will they stay silent out of cowardice? Or perhaps GOP politicians support Russian tyranny?
This is the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York to mark the third anniversary of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. There is a semi-circular green stage, 2 jumbo screens showing the speaker from Ukraine (diplomat Mariana Betsa), a giant golden backdrop, and golden desks.
