UNITED NATIONS: The United States accused Russia and China on Friday of providing"blanket protection" to North Korea from further UN Security Council action and said the pair had"bent over backwards" to justify Pyongyang's ballistic missile launches.

"You don't get to abandon Security Council responsibilities because the DPRK might sell you weapons to fuel your war of aggression in Ukraine, or because you think they make a good regional buffer to the United States," US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told the council, referring to Russia and China.

"The council should play a constructive role rather than always stressing on pressure," China's UN Ambassador Zhang Jun said."Under the current circumstances, the council should in particular strive to mitigate confrontation, ease tensions, and promote the political settlement." North Korea has long been banned from conducting nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches by the Security Council, which has strengthened sanctions on Pyongyang over the years to try and cut off funding for those programs.

The west, particularly USA thru sanction has created the worst humanitarian crisis globally; Cuba, Iran, NK.....

They stir, and they also accuse... worst foreign policy coming from the worst president in American history.
