Trump has made the US part of the new “Axis of Evil”

From The Dean's Report by Dean Obeidallah:.

“We used to fight the Axis of Evil. Now we’ve joined them.”

Those were the words written on social media Monday by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. What prompted that comment was the news that the United States was only one of 16 other countries that opposed a United Nation’s resolution condemning Russia for attacking Ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of the war.

This European-backed U.N. General Assembly resolution—supported by 93 nations—simply noted that “the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation has persisted for three years and continues to have devastating and long-lasting consequences not only for Ukraine, but also for other regions and global stability.” The resolution also called for an end to the war and demanded that Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.”

But Trump refused to agree to that. Instead the convicted felon had the U.S. protect Putin by joining with North Korea, Israel, Russia, Hungary, Belarus, Syria and a few other nations to oppose it. Thanks to Trump we are now part of a group of nations led by people who reject international law—unless it serves their purposes.
