Elon Musk seen as working counter to U.S. interests in dealings with Russia, China (youtu.be)

Elon Musk's financial interests put him in a position of having his own personal foreign policy, but new reporting shows that whether it's manufacturing in China or the Starlink network being used in Ukraine, Musk’s decisions can run counter to stated US policy.

well 141 of 193 countries think that Russia is the aggressor and shall stop its war immediately:

I am too lazy to check how much of the world’s population that accounts for - but it is hardly the 10-15 percent you have brought up

ps: there were only 5 votes against this resolution - Russia being one of… North Korea as well

I saw 95 and not 141 countries for some reason, with India and China abstaining from vote as well. I wonder why is that the case.

I also wonder why, until the above document you shared, this used to be the voting norm for the past 20 years (until 2022), and why only 2 Nazi countries used to oppose the vote:

Yeah, not really going to trust "RussianUN" on what the approval rating is on their own country.

Russia is blasting full on propaganda on all sides.

Got any actual trustworthy sources of your claims?

You really prove westerners live in a mind control dictatorship. You just claimed you do not trust United Nations. This is gold.
