11 out of 15 UN Security Council members voted YES to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Russia said NO. China said NO. Two vetoes. The resolution was dead. The US Ambassador called it "a new low." He said Russia and China were "holding the global economy at gunpoint" while blocking even defensive measures to protect ships carrying food and medicine to crisis zones in Congo, Sudan and Gaza. When even a weakened resolution gets vetoed — the system is not broken. It's working exactly as powerful nations designed it. #UN #Russia #China#tvshow #powerdynamics
