The attractive dream of Putin and Xi as knights of a simply world order within the struggle towards the evil empire has come to an finish.

March 17, 2026
On March 11, the UN Safety Council adopted the deadly Decision 2817 (2026). The UN press launch states:
“Safety Council Adopts Decision 2817 (2026) Condemning Iran’s ‘Egregious Assaults’ towards Neighbours as Center East Violence Quickly Escalates. The Safety Council at this time adopted a decision condemning Iran’s ‘egregious assaults’ towards its regional neighbours amid quickly spiraling violence within the Center East, whereas rejecting a second draft tabled by the Russian Federation.
The 15-member Council adopted decision 2817 (2026) (to be issued as S/RES/2817(2026)) by a vote of 13 in favour to none towards, with 2 abstentions (China, Russian Federation). It comes because the warfare, which started with Israeli and United States airstrikes towards Iran on 28 February, nears its two-week mark and has unfold to just about a dozen nations throughout the already fragile Center East area“.
The Safety Council adopted the movement tabled by Bahrain with 13 votes in favor and two abstentions. The adopted decision reads:
“The Safety Council
- Reiterates its robust help for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan;
- Condemns within the strongest phrases the egregious assaults by the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the territories of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan and determines that such acts represent a breach of worldwide regulation and a severe risk to worldwide peace and safety;
- Additional condemns that residential areas had been attacked, that civilian objects have been focused and that the assaults resulted in civilian casualties and injury of civilian buildings; and expresses solidarity with these international locations and their folks;
- Calls for the fast cessation of all assaults by the Islamic Republic of Iran towards Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan;
- Calls for that the Islamic Republic of Iran instantly and unconditionally stop from any provocation or threats to neighboring States, together with using proxies;
- Calls upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to conform totally with its obligations underneath worldwide regulation, together with worldwide humanitarian regulation, notably relating to the safety of civilians and civilian objects in armed battle;

- Decides to stay actively seized of the matter”.
The Proper to Self-Protection and “False Flags”
In response to the unlawful assault by Israel and the US, Iran has attacked services of the US navy equipment in neighboring Arab international locations, navy installations, and sure additionally civilian targets within the Arab Gulf states. The affected Arab international locations host US navy installations which can be used both for assaults towards Iran or to thwart Iranian self-defense efforts towards Israel, such because the staggered radar and air protection programs of the US and Nice Britain. Iran has attacked these, citing its proper to self-defense derived from Article 51 of the UN Constitution.
The Arab despotisms within the Persian Gulf, which have tolerated US bases on their soil for many years and willfully submitted themselves to US hegemony, in precept, are professional warfare goals. Whether or not shelling resorts is roofed by worldwide regulation and, furthermore, militarily expedient, is a matter for debate elsewhere.
The alleged Iranian assault on Oman, a rustic with which Tehran maintains shut relations, falls exterior this framework, and others moreover me interpret this (and presumably different) assaults as Israeli operations.
Israel has a real curiosity in inciting the Arabs towards Iran. That will spare them some effort and improve the strain on Iran. I’m not saying this can occur; I’m solely saying that in warfare, deception turns into a technique.
Diplomacy Pushed by Pursuits
What does this imply for the Iran decision? Resolutions are proposed by the members of the UN Safety Council. The proponent of the decision determines its truthfulness, or the diploma of distorting propaganda lies. Which means that resolutions can current a state of affairs solely neutrally and based mostly on details, or they will fabricate outright lies, for example, to only cowl a one-sided story. It’s then as much as the whole thing of the Safety Council members to simply accept or reject the reality or the lie offered within the proposed decision.
Thus, resolutions are each a method and a results of the diplomacy of the members of the UN Safety Council. Diplomacy is pushed by pursuits. Given its wording, the curiosity of Bahrain and its supporters on this decision ought to be fairly clear.
Safety Council resolutions are legally binding underneath worldwide regulation and might be enforced by sanctions, as much as and together with navy motion.
Iraq, amongst others, has felt the complete power of the Safety Council’s brutal sanctions regime, whereas Israel is successfully protected against sanctions by the US veto. The grotesque scale of violations of Worldwide Legislation, Human Rights, the Geneva Conference, and so on. by the USA itself has by no means, to my data, led to sanctions or navy power towards this nation.
The Failure of the Veto
When a number of members introduce a decision proposal to the Safety Council, all members can verify the proposal by voting in favor or abstaining. Meaning, abstention doesn’t stop a decision from being adopted. Every everlasting member—the Folks’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the USA, the UK, and France—can veto a decision, and a single veto is adequate.
One would assume that such a one-sided decision because the one cited towards Iran would encounter resistance, particularly for the reason that precise causes for the warfare state of affairs have been utterly ignored.
Quite the opposite, Iran is being accused of bearing major accountability for the escalating state of affairs, a declare that can’t be substantiated by the details. As a reminder: Throughout the negotiations between the US and Iran, Israel launched its unprovoked warfare of aggression towards the Islamic Republic of Iran, which Israel’s lapdog, the militarily superior US, shortly joined. On the very first day, Israel and the US intentionally attacked civilian targets and murdered civilians; essentially the most outstanding (however sadly not the one) instance is the women’ faculty.
We don’t have to delve into the US lies that Iran attacked the college itself (Trump even claimed it was with a US Tomahawk missile, which Iran doesn’t even possess!): Lies, deception, and ambush have been the hallmarks of this plundering nation since its founding. And Israel has been murdering and plundering with full impunity for 78 years underneath the auspices of the very UN that after supposedly sought to forestall warfare. The Jewish state, subsequently, now not even wants propaganda to hide its illegitimate existence and its prison actions.
Remembering Libya: 2011 vs. 2026
Properly, the West’s lies and distortions want no additional point out right here, however the conduct of Russia and China actually does.
Will we nonetheless bear in mind Libya? In 2011, Libya was ravaged by a terrorist warfare orchestrated and supported by the U.S., EU states (particularly France), and Arab despotisms, carried out by proxies, which foreshadowed the Syrian state of affairs by just a few months. Supposedly, the folks of Libya rose towards the alleged dictator Gaddafi, and supposedly—what a coincidence! – At exactly that second, a flood of sand-coloured Toyota pickups mounted with heavy machine weapons had rained down upon the valiant “rebels” (NATO’s time period for his or her Al-Qaeda proxy forces), in order that they may now assault the Libyan military after they weren’t busy murdering civilians.
The NATO states secured the adoption of UNSC Decision 1973, which licensed navy motion towards Libya. Fifteen years lie between Decision 2817 and Decision 1973:
- On March 11, 2026, Russia and China, by abstaining (in impact: agreeing!) on Decision 2817, threw Iran underneath the bus.
- On March 17, 2011, Russia and China, by abstaining (in impact: agreeing!) on Decision 1973, deserted Libya, which was then underneath assault by the Empire.
Decision 1973 established a no-fly zone over Libya, which prevented the Libyan Air Power from defending Libya’s territorial integrity and the Libyan folks towards NATO bombings and NATO terrorists on the bottom. NATO then bombed civilian and, in distinctive instances, navy infrastructure with completely no threat, disrupted the magnificent irrigation system within the desert, and introduced destruction and loss of life to Libya. The fitting to guard and defend its territorial sovereignty, which the U.S. puppet state of Bahrain claims for itself in its draft decision at this time, didn’t apply to Libya in 2011, nor subsequently to Syria, Somalia, Lebanon, Yemen, Venezuela, and now Iran.
The “Appeasement” Mission
It’s putting how equal rights apply selectively, contingent on the worldwide hegemon’s whims.
Now, I’d wish to preempt these Putin groupies who—mission: appeasement!—will declare that the united states decision towards Iran can’t be in comparison with the one towards Libya, as a result of using power, in contrast to towards Libya, has not even been determined within the case of Iran.
Properly, pricey Kremlin mouthpieces, wait and see what the conspirators will prepare dinner up subsequent; Libya wasn’t slaughtered in a single Safety Council assembly both. On Iran, level 9 of the decision already expresses the potential of additional steps. And if essential, the standard specialists in deception will present the mandatory pictures and speaking factors by a false flag operation (like in Bahrain?).
On March 11, a veto would have been utterly innocent for Russia and China. Each most well-liked to permit the decision to cross by abstaining. Since Russia and China are already standing idly by with none want to take action, absolutely they gained’t be those to face in the best way of the evil empire simply when the “worldwide group”—whipped right into a frenzy by pretend pictures (or in any other case motivated)—is crying out for blood?.
The Price of Abandonment
Exactly as a result of Iran—based mostly on the knowledge accessible thus far—is defending itself towards the U.S.-Israeli murderous marketing campaign in a way that’s each legally sound and strategically astute, and since its self-defense measures are already driving up the prices of warfare for the aggressor states, the strain on the coalition of terrorist states to deliver the warfare to a victorious conclusion is rising ever larger. The hazard of an Israeli or a mixed U.S.-Israeli use of nuclear weapons has not been averted by Russia and China’s voting conduct; quite the opposite.
It stays to be famous that Russia and China have deserted Iran. The sign despatched to the world is disastrous. The evil empire, working amok in its blood-curdling delusion of energy, isn’t prevented by a veto from misusing the UN as a façade for its warfare. Russia and China, which consistently advocate for strengthening the UN, are its accomplices—and in doing so, they themselves injury the UN.
Towards this backdrop, it is going to absolutely be a fantastic consolation to Cuba that Moscow is now pledging its help for Havana in its defensive battle towards Trump’s aggressive plans.
Russia and China may have vetoed Decision 2817. Equally, in 2011, they may have spared Libya from destruction by NATO underneath the guise of a UN decision. In each instances, Russia and China selected to distance themselves from the matter by abstaining.
A Spectacle of Passivity
For 2 and a half a long time, the Russian bear and the Chinese language dragon have been sitting on the fence like sparrows, watching the US-Israel-NATO terror circus cross by. Innocently, they chirp their little tune to the tasteless spectacle after which act as if nothing had occurred.
Properly, pricey Russians, the plans in your nation cooked up by the US are already recognized: the destruction and division of the evil empire into 41 dependent consumer states (“North Eurasia 2030”; see: https://www.freenationsrf.org/en) is a executed deal.
Maybe it’s time to finish your despicable position because the US’s water service and successfully defend nationwide pursuits. As a result of Uncle Sam is coming for you too: through Ukraine, through the Caucasus and Central Asia – and through the Arctic (therefore the purpose to get Greenland and Canada). The falling empire can not afford to not plunder your pure assets.
And also you, China? Do you wish to find yourself standing on their own?
Or do you each imagine that by passivity and even help—as is now taking place once more on the UN—you possibly can appease this man-eating, country-destroying behemoth?. In that case, would Libya, Syria, Venezuela, and Iran (and finally Cuba) be one thing like your sacrifices?
I’m simply an extraordinary outdated man, however I don’t suppose this plan will work out.
The Fantasy of Multipolarity
Folks within the World South won’t care concerning the fates of Russia and China any greater than these within the West do, had been it not for the fixed candy sounds of the so-called “multipolarity” coming from their path. We’re consistently being led to imagine—particularly from Moscow—that Russia and China are decided champions of the top of the unipolar world order, that’s, the Pax Americana (which is definitely not American in any respect, however Jewish).
But the actions that had been imagined to comply with these high quality phrases communicate a really completely different language, particularly that of renunciation, betrayal, apathy, and trickery. We’ll all should bear the implications, not the brokers of the cabal, Putin and Xi.
The “Berliner Zeitung”, one of many only a few remaining newspapers within the Federal Republic of Germany that also takes journalism critically, writes:
“The aggressors are being spared. This undermines worldwide regulation”.
On this regard, the “Berliner Zeitung” hits the nail on the pinnacle: The decision towards Iran exposes each the UN as a supporter of the mass-murdering brigades of Israel and the US (together with their vassals) and the fixed speak by UN officers of “worldwide regulation” as a sham.
The so-called efforts of the “worldwide group” towards peace and worldwide regulation are, at finest, a hole gesture; realistically, nonetheless, they function a canopy for the worst acts of warfare and genocide for the reason that starting of recorded historical past, dedicated by these terrorist nations which can be leaving a path of blood throughout our complete planet. The UN has by no means stood of their manner, whereas greater than a dozen nations have been destroyed by these terrorist nations with out the safety of the UN.
Sovereignty of the Peoples
In the meantime, Iran has thus far defended itself extraordinarily successfully and courageously. As Reuters accurately notes, the choice on the top of this U.S.-Israeli warfare of aggression doesn’t lie in Washington or Tel Aviv, however in Tehran: “Iran is sending a message that there isn’t any secure harbour on this battle and that Washington is not going to management the phrases of escalation”.
Maybe the important thing to a very multipolar world order doesn’t lie in Moscow and Beijing in spite of everything?
Maybe, somewhat than with the puppets of the worldwide cabal, it lies with us, the peoples and nations?
Maybe it’s time to retire the dream of multipolarism among the many nice powers and return to the sovereignty of the peoples and nations?
In any case, we are able to confidently bury the fairy story of Putin and Xi as saviors of the world. In truth, they already buried it themselves on March 11, 2026, within the UN Safety Council.
