About half the world voted that they don't care about Ukraine.
Actually, no. As pointed out to another moron, dictators do NOT represent the people of their associated nations. And yes, it is astonishing that you are so stupid as to think that they do.

Says who?
The dictators in North Korea are worshipped like gods.
Hitler was wildly popular.
Mussolini was wildly popular.
Putin is wildly popular.
Xi Jinping is very popular in the Chinese sense of the word.
Propaganda works.

You posted that and then called the other guy stupid? Wow!
The part where you can't tell the difference between compliance and popularity.
How do you idiots think dictators get into power?? You don't roll out of your mom's basement and seize power. You need support. Most dictators are charismatic and very popular with their people.
The people they aren't popular with go away until everyone is on board.
This is how modern Democrats behave you'd think you morons could understand how this works.

Which part wasn't true?
Please remember you are a very ignorant person.
In an authoritarian regime where dissent is illegal, it is usually difficult to tell what the true will of the people is.
For example, look at the hundreds of thousands of men who fled Russia when Putin asked him to fight for him. Korea is the most closed society in the world and many risk death trying to flee it. Mussolini was eventually killed and strung up by his own Italian people. In China, people there are really loving the on going Covid lock downs and goon squads, aren't they.

Putin didn't take power this year... He has been in power for 18 years. He was very popular in Russia before the Ukraine debacle.
North Koreans are born and bred completely steeped in propaganda. Most of them buy into it completely. Your "many" people risking death to flee don't make the news very often. I don't think there's as "many" as you think.
It is idiotic to argue that because a dictator ended up unpopular they couldn't have ever been popular.

So are you sticking with you post that the population of China voted to abstain at the UN?

The population of China chooses to live under the thumb of the CCP. Therefore, they support the positions of the CCP whether they agree or not.
Chinese people don't think like western people do and they sure as hell don't share western values.

Spoken as someone who has never traveled abroad and does not actually know anyone in other countries.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Quite frankly, it is embarrassing to see that people as ignorant as you actually exist.

You’re comparing Putin to Kim Jong-un, Hitler, and Mussolini and you still don’t think it’s worth a few billion dollars to stop his imperialist ambitions?

I notice you like to throw in a lot of personal insults in your responses. A clear sign of a weak argument.
And your argument that gauging the will of the people in a repressive authoritarian society is the same as in a free democratic society is a weak one.

Been to North Korea have you?
It's hilarious that you're doubling down on your ignorant opinion despite having no clue wtf you're talking about.
I travel widely for my work and also for educational/recreational purposes. I know quite well many people in or from China, North and South Korea, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Indeed, I am currently engaged in getting families out of Belarus - families who do not wish to throw away their future on your "very popular" Putin.
You, on the other hand, are a keyboard warrior.
You know nothing. You are an ignoramus of epic proportions. And, despite what you tell yourself in your little cocoon, everyone on LRC sees you as such quite clearly.
