Makes me ashamed of my country.

And most of the countries depicted in grey are puppet states or aligned with the USA. Maps like this send one very urgent message: We must establish a multipolar world that is fair to all countries and lifts all boats. A multipolar world is not just an option, it is essential for global survival where peaceful co-existence, democracy, rule of international law, and reciprocity prevail.

Now let's talk about all those countries who voted yes, and just how much pressure the US/EU/UK puts on these countries to go along with the sanctions. How many of these countries have been or are currently under sanctions? Along this line is the Ukraine war and how top US military officials visiting many of these countries in the South tried to get them to give Ukraine war materials. My understanding is most countries in Latin America wouldn't comply but Chile gave them mine clearing equipment. President Boric has had multiple discussions with Ukrainian Pres Zelensky. He even was allowed to speak before Congress. President Boric like some others speak out of two sides of their mouths; Human rights, anti-imperialism, etc and then behind everyone's back they support the US. My theory is the US has their hands around these president's necks, and if you step outside of supporting them then you will be sanctioned or worse, removed via a financed coup into the hands of the far right factions who the US wants in power. This way they can steal their natural resources and install multinational corporations to destroy a countries wealth and destroy its citizen's livelihoods. This is how the game is played today. I can only hope that what we're seeing with Mexican President AMLO and Brazilian President Lula trying to bring the South together to stop the imperialist. Also, the use of the SUR as a means of working around the dollar, that they will have greater impact as a group of nations to move us further away from becoming more totalitarian like the US has become.

Sanctions are clear sabotage and cause immense human suffering. Interfering with other countries economies affects their people's well being and rarely changes their government's ways. Always resort to diplomacy first.
