Sherman's comments came after the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn Russia for last week's invasion of Ukraine and demand that Moscow withdraw its forces from the country immediately.
The UN General assembly has condemned a great many things over the years, and it amounts to a lot of hot air in most cases. When the UNSC, on the other hand, takes a decision sometimes things happen. (Back to the 1950 Korea example, at this point). I also note the sophistry provided in re the alleged distinction between Russia and the USSR. The argument from ignorance is noted, and not found worthy.

For Global Nav: If you find a load of political rhetoric to be 'well sourced' then your need to calibrate your standards a bit. Political rhetoric is, like UN General Assembly pronouncements, mostly wind.
