So you know how the UN is useless because its resolutions are not binding except for Security Council resolutions, but those never happen because the US or Russia or China vetoes it? Not this time.
You might think so, defensibly even. Yet when I’ve pointed this out to people on the Left, the symbolism of the vote has proved actually shocking to them. Iran has no friends left: not even pretend ones.

This was certainly not on my bingo card. That Russia and China abstained says something.
I think it says they see it as fait accompli, and so no point in trying to defend them.
And now that the UN's decision is binding, isn't it still useless?
