1. Targeting Burundi: Western states dismiss Burundi's voice supporting President Nkuruniza. This is an internal matter that should be out of bounds for London, Paris and the US who do not want a Hutu popular president. Focus now is taking down the Burundi economy by implementing travel restrictions and freezing assets (much like what Cuba has suffered for over half a century).
2. Syria/Russia/Western Interference: Phil Taylor notes that Russia has Syria's permission to fight ISIS in Syria, and Syria is a sovereign country. British, Americans and French operate as though International law and UN do not matter; however, after turning a no-fly zone in Libya into a NATO fly zone destroying Libya, they lost some of their unearned credibility.
3. UN Third Committee Plenary Session November 19 vote on combating the glorification of Nazism and Neo-Nazism and Other Practices that Contribute to the Fueling of Contemporary Forms of Racism and Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. Vote was: 126 YES, 4 NO (US, Canada, Ukraine and tiny US controlled Palau) and 53 abstentions.
