    Oh yay! Biden is on the same side as Putin and Xi, in disagreement with the rest of the world.

    Not quite the win I think you’re going for there.

      The United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as part of a hostage deal after Russia and China, who are permanent members, voted against the measure proposed by the United States.

      It’s literally the first paragraph of the article.

          Biden, through the US delegation, proposed this resolution, which Putin and Xi, through their delegations, vetoed. They’re literally on opposite sides of the issue.

            I was explaining how they’re the same. You know, for someone who likes explaining the obvious, you really did miss out on this obvious point being made, twice.

              So because the US vetoed a measure earlier, them proposing a ceasefire now is grounds for Russia/China to veto?

              You sound like someone who thinks “no u” is a strong argument.

                They vetoing it because the US proposed a conditional ceasefire while Russia and China want an immediate unconditional ceasefire.
