A couple of things to note

In the history of the Security Council, almost half the vetoes were cast by the Soviet Union.
Its pretty funny to hear the Palestine ambassador commenting on anyone's humiliation at UN level
Considering Palestine is not even actually a member of the UN
Only 70% of the UN members even recognise them at all.
Only 138 of the 193 members even think they deserve to have observer status at the UN.

Maybe the Palestinians might be better off actually listening to the US ambassador

Yeah, cos the likes of Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Panama and Marshall Islands are real players in world politics.

You may need to school yourself up what "recognise" means in a diplomatic terms.

And the shower of shite that comprises the Trump Whitehouse stumbles on. A National Security contractor is arrested for attempted murder as he arrives at work. Fucking marvellous. Every day a new low.

Nikki Haley begs U.N. to sign Trump resolution, gets one vote—her own. Embarrassed, she lashes out. - https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...tail=emaildkre - Are there no limits to the low this bird will stoop to?

The similarities between Churchill and Trump are extraordinarily close, making them both ideal stooges of the financial backers/controllers that are the secret shadow world government?

Check out Churchill's real history and you will see it for your self - he was little more than a heavily bankrupt drunken mass murderer unleashing (WMD's) Weapons of Mass Destruction all over the world!

Trump hasn't even got himself out of first gear yet - watch this space?

The alleged similarities are only close if your predicated secret shadow world government exists.

They start to diverge when you look at Churchill's career prior to WW1 when he went looking for action so to speak. Yes, I know about the Dardenelles campaign in WW1 - and what he learned from it. A long career in UK politics prior to WW2 gave him the maturity he needed IMO.

The interesting comparison is rather Churchill to his relative Wellington. Wellington had a long history of frontier skirmishes and battles before taking on Napoleon. Again, gaining experience away from Europe.

Was Wellington part of that secret world government ?

Trump is simply an idiot thrown in above his natural level.
