US Casts Sole ‘No’ Vote Against UN Arms Trade Bill

It's amazing that anyone would regard the U.S. as "democratic" when the U.S. government alone persistently obstructs the the entire world's will for peace. U.S. productivity is heavily entrenched in arms production. Since the U.S. accounts for over half of weapons exports worldwide, there's little wonder that the U.S. government would persistently thumb its nose at the entire world. The U.S. government has no interest in democracy, because it exist to do the bidding of the power elite, much of whose wealth comes at the expense of millions of people being murdered globally. There is no democracy, no freedom, and no liberty for the millions of innocent people who find themselves victims of U.S. made weapons. Democracy and peace would both be better served if the U.S. shifted its economy to life-giving productivity, rather than continue to peddle bad dope.
