Hey, Argentina being the US's lapdog is a mostly a newish development. Give them a few years to hang Milei before we put them in that group for good.

unfortunately, it's going to take a while since his approval rating is high rn.

it would have taken a serious dip if trump hadn't given him a $20billion loan.

i wouldn't doubt it since he already won re-election; it's mind boggling to me how well such antics work on the masses.

Both the Nos and the Abstentions are the usual suspects.

It’s a bit like asking: How many of you are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future? Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes, but your best buddy is, and you don’t want to sever the relationship, that counts as well.

Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes

We know at least 2 of those 3 do it. Then you have Argentina who really wants to be part of the group chat

It's not even that, a good chunk of the countries who voted yes probably are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future. Ffs North Korea voted yes. These are just the countries self righteous enough to think torturing is a good thing and are willing to go on record to say so.

That is a good point. I wonder what they are planning.

Lol when I saw the title of this Lemmy post I thought to myself "I bet it's the two usual suspects voting no" and lo and behold. Plus their third.
