Striking Iran without UN approval made the US look like a rogue actor, akin to Putin in Ukraine. I don't think that's an accurate comparison, but I heard this all summer in Europe & Asia. China hasn't invaded anyone in decades & instead gets to look like a rational actor 3/10

If you were disgusted by the lies of America's incredibly unpopular, authoritarian president Donald Trump at yesterday's UN General Assembly, here is a contrast. The speech of a man of great character, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, today.

Donald Trump's UN speech was full of exaggerations, including claims about stopping wars and the US economy. His aggressive remarks towards Cuba and Iran are particularly concerning, given the UN's purpose is cooperation, not threats. Cuba rightly pushed back against his falsehoods. #diplomacy #UNGA
