He really had a lot to say. I think he had the best speech of the meeting.

Heroes come in all forms.
Russia should be removed from the UN Security Council.

By Louis CasianoPrime Minister of Albania Edi Rama speaks during a high level Security Council meeting on the situation in Ukraine, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023, at United Nations headquarters.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama (click here) didn't mince words Wednesday while criticizing Russia's attempt to block Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from speaking at the United Nations Security Council meeting in New York.
Rama noted that the notice of speaking orders was given in advance and any objections should have been raised beforehand.
"I want to assure our Russian colleagues and everyone here that this is not a special operation by the Albanian presidency," Rama said, referring to Moscow's wording of its invasion in Ukraine.
In response, Vassily Nebenzia, the Russian ambassador to the U.N., said Albania had placed its "political and ideological beliefs above the obligations" of the council.
Rama quickly assailed Nebenzia and Russia's military ambitions in neighboring Ukraine.
"I must say that coming from all these lectures of violating the rules in this building is quite an impressive show," he said. "But as far as you repeat it many times that the violation here is about presidential Zelenskyy speaking before the council members, There is a solution for this. If you agree, you stop the war and President Zelenskyy will not take the floor."...

The leader of the free world still believes in International Law. That means something.
He is fighting for peace. He wants all other countries to value peace and move toward it. He won't stop insisting peace is a high priority while the USA continues to do what it always does and fortify it's military, embrace it's allies, and have the most dedicated soldiers in the world.
So the communists have abandoned peace. The real question is did they ever care about it?
I like this. It is truthful and I know exactly where everything stands. It is the way it was before Yeltsin and Gorbachev.
How many Americans know the current form of Russia only existed since 1991. Before that it was the Soviet Union. Yeltsin was the first president of the Russian Federation and the end of the Soviet Union was with the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev. The existence of Russia as we know it today is only 32 years old. North Korea and China as they exist today are far older than the Russian Federation.
Let's face it all the decades of attempts at peace between these countries and the USA was based in the idea mutual economic interests were stronger than any military advantage of any country. That is why China has become an issue for The West.
The West allowed itself to believe capitalism would be a benefit to other countries, hence, the world would be balanced and content in a higher quality of life. The West thrives on capitalism, for the most part. But, evidently, communist aggression is a cultural preference and the peace based in mutual economic interests is nothing but a fraud.
On 24 March 2014, the G8 summit to be held in Sochi was cancelled because of Russian aggression in Crimea. Then what followed was an escalation of tensions and a war along the Russia border with Ukraine instigated and supported by Putin in Donbas.
...“International law (click here) prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state’s territory through coercion or force,” the statement said. “To do so violates the principles upon which the international system is built. We condemn the illegal referendum held in Crimea in violation of Ukraine’s constitution.
“We also strongly condemn Russia’s illegal attempt to annex Crimea in contravention of international law and specific international obligations.”...
Now, if international law was at all important to any of the communists why was Russia and China absent from the UN General Assembly? International law is not important to these jerks and they instead want to reek fear on the civilized world in hopes there will be some kind of movement so Putin can still have his politics in intact regardless the number of deaths. China protesting along side Russia by not showing up at the UN General Assembly only implicates their leaders in the genocide that is continued to be carried out by Vladimir Putin. Un can be included in that as well.

Seoul - Whatever practical cooperation emerges (click here) from this week's summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, their deepening relationship is aimed at sending their rivals a warning, analysts said.
Calling each other "comrade", the men toasted their friendship on Wednesday after Putin showed Kim around Russia's most modern space launch facility and they held talks alongside their defense ministers.
The two countries have an interest in demonstrating that, despite their geopolitical isolation, they have partners they can call on. And both seek to weaken U.S.-led sanctions and pressure campaigns, against Russia over the war in Ukraine and against North Korea for its nuclear weapons and missile programs, analysts said.
"Putin and Kim would both gain from a transactional bargain but they would also gain geopolitically by giving off the impression that their nuclear-armed countries are cooperating militarily and sending a warning about potential consequences to America’s allies and like-minded partners that support Ukraine," said Duyeon Kim, of the Center for a New American Security....

North Korea's (click here) new intercontinental ballistic missile, unveiled at a military parade last week, appears designed to overwhelm U.S. missile defenses, security analysts say, a development that may spur the U.S. to add costly new interceptors.
