Smh so disappointing they’re like “well we have agricultural safety concerns and we aren’t sure that the policy would work as intended…so let them starve instead nothing we can do so sad”
Mask slipping moment there. I think their real motivation is more like this:
“We would lose global influence if food were a human right, as we heavily subsidise our food industry so we can export it for cheap, destroying local food production in other countries and forcing them to be reliant on our “humanitarian” aid.”
Oh no doubt, but they can’t go out and say that, I just mean their “official” statement is extremely disappointing because they’d only release a statement on a UN vote like that if they know it’s fucked up. Obviously they give the most professional sounding excuse but that “professional” excuse of theirs is especially disrespectful given the fact that we all know they’re lying on top of being just legitimately evil
