UN nuke ban degraded by absentees, Uncle included

UN member states voted 122-1 last week to ban nuclear weapons. Least you think that's a hopeful sign, 70 nations, including all 9 nuclear powers, led by biggies US and Russia with a cool 7,000 per, boycotted the proceedings. So did most US allies like Japan and South Korea who were persuaded by the US to stay far away from what could have been real progress in saving all our skins. Kudos to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt and Brazil who ignored our crazy Uncle and voted YES to no nukes. Special approbrium to Netherlands which cast the sole NO vote. Seems they've hosted US nukes in the past and don't want to lose out on the loot that goes along with grabbing a piece of of America's military coattails. This story should be the lead in every paper and electronic news show. Afraid of losing access to the US war party, mainstream media left this story to the information fringe.
