Things are stiring up over in the UN
Currently it looks like the United Nations Security Council is aiming to vote on Tuesday for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
But the American delegate, Democrat Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said that the US would move to veto this.
Two questions:
A. Who put her in that position? She doesn’t represent us!
I’m pretty sure it was Obama.
B. How do we remove those Democrat delegates in the UN?
Looks like our leaders have to do that.
Trump can’t comeback too soon.
This Democrat made it clear the US wants this war to continue.
Keep an eye on Feb 20th.

Reuters reports:
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – The United Nations Security Council is likely to vote on Tuesday on an Algerian push for the 15-member body to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, said diplomats, a move the United States signaled it would veto.
Algeria put forward an initial draft resolution more than two weeks ago. But U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield quickly said the text could jeopardize “sensitive negotiations” aimed at brokering a pause in the war.
Algeria requested on Saturday that the council vote on Tuesday, diplomats said. To be adopted, U.N. Security Council resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the United States, Britain, France, China or Russia.
“The United States does not support action on this draft resolution. Should it come up for a vote as drafted, it will not be adopted,” Thomas-Greenfield said in a statement on Saturday.
ADVERTISEMENTWashington traditionally shields its ally Israel from U.N. action and has already twice vetoed council action since Oct. 7. But it has also abstained twice, allowing the council to adopt resolutions that aimed to boost humanitarian aid to Gaza and called for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses in fighting.
Talks between the U.S., Egypt, Israel and Qatar are on to seek a pause in the war and the release of hostages held by Hamas.
“It is critical that other parties give this process the best odds of succeeding, rather than push measures that put it – and the opportunity for an enduring resolution of hostilities – in jeopardy,” Thomas-Greenfield said.

Lets see how this plays out.
Democrats clearly want this war to continue.
Especially with their Ukraine war losing support here in the States.
