A UAE official says the country lobbied against Canada's bid for a United Nations Security Council seat in the latest blow to relations that have soured after disputes over airline routes.
Another measure of their growing desperation in my opinion. They have hundreds of airplanes on order at the same time they are running into the upper limits of their plan to take over the world. The fact they are willing, eager even, to use scorched earth diplomatic tactics like this and Camp Mirage to gain a relatively few slots proves it in my mind.

They've supplanted the art of negotiation for the sledge hammer of extortion.
