Really unfortunate reversal of alliances here

Unsurprising but still stunning. The United States, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, North Korea and Israel vote together against Ukraine at the United Nations. Even Iran and China abstained. (The resolution passed with 93 countries supporting it.)

Trump shifting US foreign policy away from reliable allies towards enemies that will exploit this new division seems like something that will have big longterm consequences.
Israel has reversed nothing. The question is why anybody in the US would consider allying with them. This group is as honest as we’ve been about our commitment to corrupt intent as we’ve had in my lifetime.
I never bought any of the Russiagate BS (I called it, "The Dogshit Dossier" when I read it), but I'm having trouble explaining Trump's total submission to Putin. I agree with ending the war, but outside the MAGA twitter bubble this looks disgraceful and humiliating.
Why Israel though? Will be hard for neocons to defend this behaviour by Netanyahu. But would love to see a China-EU-Ukraine alliance against the new axis of evil: the reactionary Putin-Trump alliance!
Trench warfare. Dodging hobby drones. Close to a million casualties. Essentially a stalemate for years. What allies!
As a small country facing threats from larger neighbors, of course there was no doubt Israel would support a nation in a similar situation Good for you, Bibi! [checks notes] Emily Litella voice: Never mind
