So how soon is the Tweet Storm coming? And did Nikki Haley âtake namesâ?
The article says, âIn that sense, it was a victory for the United States, with Trumpâs threat to cut off U.S. funding to countries that oppose his decision having an impact.â Do you really read this vote that way? I know some sources expected an even higher vote against the U.S., but I would call 128-9 a pretty strong slap down.
âShowing an impactâ but still having more guts than the US Congress.
Curious how our (increasingly former) allies voted.
NO: Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Togo, USA
One of these is not like the others !
Abstainers: Canada, Poland, âŚ
YES: Most of EU, including UK
Oh goodâno cracks in the USA-Nauru alliance, then.
Thank you for this info!
I canât understand why the original article didnât include a list of Yes, No, Abstain, and Absent countries.
They do this all the time on Congressional and even Supreme Court votes. Itâs infuriating!
I added a rather bad jpg of the scoreâŚ

Yeah, just saw it and edited my comment. Thanks again, maybe I should send my Prime $ to you this year!
Good enough to see Europe flipping us the bird and Australia outside having a beer.
Thanks, you are welcome, but no thanks, Iâm goodâŚ
She couldnât spell at least half of the 129 names.
blame AP
With the votes being recorded and known to all, including the United States, Haleyâs statements and threats about âtaking namesâ are just more crass provocations.
Oh I do! Even the analysis was off, after Haleyâs threats this looks like a total slap-down of the US.
Tsk, all those threats and we canât bully any nations bigger than GuatemalaâŚ
Hahaha. Just this morning I saw a headline that said the vote would put countries in a difficult position because of Trumpâs bullying threat to withdraw foreign aid.
I love it. Take that you effing orange moron.
AP is just consistently awful. Itâs disgraceful. And theyâve been that way for decades.
At any rate, people around the world know Trump is a wimp in any actual confrontation. Thatâs been proven time and again. But he can still drain our soft power away with sickening speed. If we could stop the damage today, this minute, we might still never come back to where we once were. Not after Bush and now this. Weâve proven we canât be trusted or viewed as adults.
I think the âwinâ was in abstentions rather than âgo screw yourselfâ votes but it comes over as a kick in the ass to trump. Kudos to the UN.
I would, too.
