“It saddens me that the word “honor” has been forgotten”
So
Yes, the Empire is the Empire of Lies, but no matter how powerful that Empire’s may appear to cowards, to those with courage and integrity it is not a threat capable of silencing them. Here is the list:
I note a few interesting things:
China, India and Iran abstained but did not vote “no”
Serbia and Hungary voted “yes”
Yes, I get it, while the Empire itself is dead, it has enough momentum and residual power to force that kind of outcomes. But, as the Russian singer and poet Vladimir Vysotskii once wrote “it saddens me that the word “honor” has been forgotten” (“Досадно мне, коль слово “честь” забыто”).
I hope to write up a more military oriented report before the end of the day.
