    No, because they feel like this resolution that Russia puts up every year is basically performative and unnecessary, as the resolution text basically says “let’s remain committed to fighting Nazism”, which they weren’t going to stop doing anyway.

    It’s a bit like how putting up a resolution “against murder” every year seems like a bit of a performative waste of time. No state was going to say “well ackshually, Nazism was a pretty sweet gig”.

      Except the resolution is necessary because the US and EU keep arming, funding and supporting literal Nazis. You do need resolutions against murder when you have people who refuse to acknowledge that murder is happening and continue support murderers.

        Will the green votes stop arming, finding and supporting Nazis through this motion now?

          The green countries don’t have an issue with this resolution precisely because they aren’t currently funding and arming Nazis.

      So instead of saying. “Yes, whatever, murdering is ofc wrong, here’s my vote” you keep coming up with convoluted statements about “black and white” and bending over backwards to explain why you don’t actually condemn murder?

      Haven’t it ever occurred to you, that they could have voted “yes” and THEN issued a statement that “it does not absolve Russia…” etc.? Try to think why they haven’t done that will you?

        But they did condemn it. But they’re not going to support a resolution brought forward by a serial killer.

        They’re not going to go along with Russia’s performative bullshit that only serves to validate their reasoning to go killing in Ukraine. And when Australia added that whole text about “what Russia is doing is bad for the fight against Nazism” Russia got extremely pissy about it.

        Why bother voting yes on a PR piece that does nothing in the fight against Nazism?
