    I think its more likely that the abstaining countries rely on America for trade or military in some way and don’t want to aggravate them politically but clearly aren’t willing to vote alongside them.

      Or, as the other (better informed) guy said. This resolution equates tearing down soviet monuments to be Nazism.

      That by extension means it equates Ukraine (the country partially occupied and fraudulently annexed by Russia) with Nazism. Countries which respect Ukraine’s sovereignty (and have enough skepticism of Russia to read more than the title) wouldn’t want to vote against (because of the title) but also wouldn’t want to vote in favor.

        Tearing down monuments to WW2 veterans who fought against the Nazis certainly suggests a certain affinity with the Nazis.

          It doesn’t. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. Monuments that glorify Soviets might be torn down for a plethora of reasons that don’t have anything to do with nazism and have a lot to do with Soviet atrocities.

            I’m comfortable to say people tearing down memorials to the soldiers who faught against the Nazis to replace them with memorials to the people who fought for the Nazis makes you a Nazi.

                  “People want to get rid of statues that once symbolised liberation but now are associated with oppression. They must be Nazis and everybody who disagrees with that must be a fake news spreading fascist!”

                    When you’re trying to claim that statues that symbolise liberation from the Nazis represent oppression, you’re a Nazi.

                    And you were the one screaming the BlueMAGA equivalent of “fake news”

            Incorrect, and it’s people saying things like this that is why we should combat efforts to rewrite history.

                    it was far less territory

                    Lol. Desperately clutching at anything to justify the double standard.

                    But even if what you said was true, the USSR invaded a Nazi ally, so what’s the problem?
