He is an appointee of the fallen Islamic Republic. The UN Ambassador of the current Islamic Emirate remains unrecognized and unseated.

crepeface posted:i learned recently that the US made vietnam pay for the bombs that was dropped on them I found the part you made up. The US did force Vietnam to pay back loans taken by the Republic of Vietnam in the 1990s as a stipulation for Vietnam to enter the "normal" economic community, which is exploitative and hosed up, but you can point that out without lying about what the payments were for and saying they were paying for bombs.

NeatHeteroDude posted:How does a UN resolution "work"? Is it just "we all agree that this should happen" or "we all agree that this is bad"? essentially, yes. The definition: United Nations resolutions are formal expressions of the opinion or will of United Nations organs. https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/resolutions-0 Typically, the only binding resolutions will originate form the UNSC, which is why veto power for the five permanent members is such a big deal.

V. Illych L. posted:western good-will is an insanely important strategic asset for the ukrainians to be maintained at almost any cost, though, so i really do think that they'll try to keep reprisal stories as far out of the headlines as possible - even fans can only rationalise this stuff so many times before the saintly image starts falling apart, and at that point it's a problem. is it a big problem? who knows, imo not unless the economic situation among sponsor countries continues to deteriorate If I'd be inclined to search for a reason for the Russian abandonment of Kherson shortly after doing a referendum in malice as opposed to an aversion to casualties I'd wonder if that wasn't part of the desired outcome. NeatHeteroDude posted:How does a UN resolution "work"? Is it just "we all agree that this should happen" or "we all agree that this is bad"? Depends. It used to be pretty important when the Non Aligned movement was still around. In the India - Pakistan war over Bangladesh there seems to really have been the expectation that India would have to stop the advance once the UN dropped the resolution. Now it's kind of whatever.

Lol, it's directly from the US press release but they also mention an ambitious "other commodities".quote:Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin and VietnameseFinance Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung agreed today that Vietnam willrepay the United States approximately $145 million in economicdebts owed by the former Republic of Vietnam. A downpayment of more than $8.5 million of interest is due within30 days of signing the agreement.

crepeface posted:hurrrr ackshully, an itemized receipt with "bombs bombs bombs bombs" was never found. 3 pinochios It's more that I knew Vietnam isn't run by a bunch of dumb pushovers who would agree to pay for American bombs. It would take a tremendous amount of dismissiveness toward the Vietnamese government to believe that was the case. AnimeIsTrash posted:Where did you get this from? Most of the googling I did shows that they agreed to pay back loans, not what loans were used for. Military aid was explicitly not part of the agreement, as the Vietnamese government would be loath to accept responsibility for such payments to the South Vietnamese regime, for obvious and good reasons. https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...1-9a4ba9f85094/ quote:Treasury officials regard the terms of the debt accord as concessionary. Under the agreement, Hanoi must make a "down payment" of $8.5 million in interest within the next 30 days but has until 2019 to complete repayment. The agreement obliges Vietnam to absorb debts incurred to finance the construction of roads, rail lines and power plants in South Vietnam, as well as to purchase grain shipments. But it does not cover the more than $1 billion Washington provided to South Vietnam during the war years in direct military assistance. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/rr1587 http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/3685e97bd15b2da2798f9ac96c09a537
