« Coming to Ghadaffi's Aid | Main | Syria Kills 6 Protesters » China & Russia Have Second Thoughts
By Micah Halpern
Tuesday March 22, 2011 I've Been Thinking: Russia and China have been extremely critical of the air strikes conducted by international forces against Libya. Both countries have gone public saying that they are against any strikes and Vladimir Putin has actually called the entire process "crusader-like." Russia and China are now second guessing their decision to abstain on the No Fly Zone vote in the UN Security Council. Had they "no voted" the resolution would have failed. Abstentions go to the majority -"no votes" are not counted. The vote was 10 "for" with 5 abstentions. In addition to China and Russia the other three abstentions were India, Germany and Brazil.
