    It’s darkly hilarious that the SG thought Zelenskyy would just smile and shake his hand after pulling that. What an absolute dipshit.

      The UN is a diplomatic institution. It is vital and by design that they talk with everyone. China and Russia are two of the UN Security Council veto powers. Calling the Secretary General a “dipshit” for doing his job is like calling a Judge a dipshit for throwing out illegally obtained evidence.

        There is a difference between keeping diplomatic channels open and actively legitimising Putin’s régime by visiting Russia to attend a summit.

        He should certainly talk to everyone. But kissing Putin’s ass the way he did was absolutely not necessary.
