The U.S. was one of three countries to nix a resolution condemning glorification of Nazism, citing freedom of speech issues and concerns Russia was using it to carry out political attacks against its neighbors
Why don’t these kinda articles include the thing being talked about? I don’t want to know what an American thinks about denouncing Nazis; I want to know what was so egregious in the original resolution that America felt it was better to side with the Nazis.
Edit:
Here’s the damn resolution. there’s no valid reason to oppose it. First of all it’s not legally binding, second it’s pretty much just 75ish different ways of saying “member states should oppose Nazis cause Nazis are bad, 'm-kay.” Honestly just seems like the US opposed it cause it was introduced by Russia and was thus “political.”
We condemn without reservation all forms of religious and ethnic intolerance or hatred at home and around the world

Obviously not given that you just voted against a resolution that did exactly that.
