UN Security Council Rejects A US Bid To Extend The Iran Arms Embargo





Reuters: U.S. loses Iran arms embargo bid as Putin pushes summit to avoid nuclear deal showdown

NEW YORK/MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States lost a bid on Friday to extend a U.N. arms embargo on Iran as Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a summit of world leaders to avoid “confrontation” over a U.S. threat to trigger a return of all U.N. sanctions on Tehran.

In a U.N. Security Council vote, Russia and China opposed extending the weapons ban, which is due to expire in October under a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. Eleven members abstained, including France, Germany and Britain, while Washington and the Dominican Republic were the only yes votes.

“The Security Council’s failure to act decisively in defense of international peace and security is inexcusable,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement.

Why will it cause a crisi?

Why did the US start to build a ballistic missile shield for Europe, while Europe undercuts the US at every turn?

You have to read between the lines for this one, but it is easy. If Merkel is doing such a fine job , why did her chosen successor pass on being Merkel's replacement?

Meathead Mike is all out of ideas, folks.

Oh sure, when it comes to diplomacy and increasind=g America's soft power he really sucks.

However, he's singlehandedly inflating Wendy's bottom line. When he rolls his fat ass up to the drive-thru they don't even ask if he wants to supersize. They just know.
