    Lmao the fucking irony:

    The US, which voted against the resolution, slammed the text as an ideological exercise that it said undermined the UN’s credibility.

    “This initiative is presented as an anodyne effort to update cartographic proportions,” said Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the UN. “The United States clearly sees it cannot be separated from the much larger and more radical ideological project it belongs to.”

      Wow, the US government is so paranoid, because how the fuck in your right mind can you find a reason to think “everyone’s out to get me” because others want to edit a map? It’s also funny how they never specify what this “radical ideology” is, despite constantly complaining about it like a child would about their mother not getting them an ice cream.

        It’s because they don’t want the world to see it getting bigger as it starts annexing its neighbors’ land.
