RUSSIA VETOES RESOLUTION AT UN

PRESIDENT PUTIN

In my opinion Russia has a good reason because the USA wants to open up  the northern part of Syria (Assad's government) to fly into it (bombing).

Russia vetoed four times to block resolution of Syria to stop the bloodshed. Moscow’s view the resolution is against the regime of Bashir al-Assad.  It also forestalled common act on the Ukraine where it is accused to fight a military camp to supporting the eastern separatists.

This is one site of the coin; the other side is since the USA and West did not agree with the result of the people’s vote to join Russia; the government of the Ukraine was brought down by a ‘sudden revolt’ and a new government put into place of course by ‘democratic’ voting.  This was the moment when the fight started.

Matthew Rycroft, British ambassador, said: “Syria is a stain on the conscience of the Security Council. I think it is the biggest failure in recent years, and it has undoubtedly consequences for the standing of the Security Council and indeed the United Nation as a whole.”

The US has used its veto three times in the past decades, to shield Israel from rebuke for its actions in the Palestinian territories.

In my opinion those vetoes should have been overruled. Israel seems to have an overall power to do what it likes.  The atrocity it is handing out continuously to Palestine and its people is incredible. Ever since Israel was established there they continuously confiscating land and by now there is very little left of Palestine and that is occupied.

Three Israelis were killed and Israel bombed Gaza for 50 days, killing 2,500 people and destroyed 19,000 houses. Children still living in bombed houses. Israelis solders went into the West Bank and found the grave of the three Israelis and went to a house where the alleged two murderers were hiding out. They shot them and then confiscated 900 sq km of the West Bank destroyed the villages and put a fence around it.

The USA, UN and West never said a word against it. We soon would have heard an uproar if it was in the USA.

Today, according to the report, a Muslim woman was wielding a knife at a border soldiers in Hebron. The pictures show that she stood there and a few feet away a soldier aimed his machine gun and shot her. A soldier and a civilian tried to intervene but were warned off by him.  She should have been arrested and tried  but not shot at point blank.

Other reports show pictures that Israeli solders in occupied West Bank raiding houses at midnight and arrest children as young as six for interrogation. What happened to them afterwards is not known.

The West Bank was given to the Palestinian people at a peace agreement, signed by Israel.  The Gaza strip is blocked for decades and In other words Israel starves them.

In Syria a chemical bomb was dropped in the suburb of Damascus and Assad was accused. John Kerry, US Secretary of State, was pushing for military intervention and UK PM David Cameron agreed despite MPs voted against it and the world held its breath. In the last minute Russia intervened and Assad agreed to had over his stockpile of chemical weapons which were destroyed. The UN sent a special team of inspectors but the result of the report was never published. If the UN is neutral, which it should be, the report should have been published no matter who dropped the chemical weapon.

The UN Security Council legitimacy has been scrutinised many time and it looks like the USA has the power over it. USA always complains when they do not get their way.  As with Syria the US wants the airspace of Syria all open up. At the moment the airspace of the northern territory are closed. The reason, the US wants to bomb Assad’s government with the excuse to bomb ISIS. The US and West are determined to bring Mr Assad down like they done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya resulting into total chaos and killing. Therefore, Russia vetoes the resolution.

The Russian UN representative, Vitaly Churkin said: “Some countries will try to involve the Security Council in regime change operation in Syria. And we were telling them that it is not their business of the Security Council to go into regime change mode. This is a fundamental difference and it’s not the fault of the Security Council that this difference is there.”

France is proposing that the five permanent council members (US, Russia, France, UK and China) voluntarily suspend their veto rights in situation when genocides are being committed.

While all these rankles going on, people dying daily and are forced to flee their home and country. In Syia 220,000 people have died and 11 million have been displaced.

Whatever these big powers trying to achieve for themselves they do not consider whatsoever the human costs. What have they achieved in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria? Nothing but total unrest and got rid of their weapon stock to produce new ones to sustain their economy.
