I think you are confusing formal argument with actual reason. For Russia, there more turmoil is in Middle East, the less attention on Ukrainian war. China real reasons are more nuanced and is a combination of being US antagonist, supporting Russia and having something to distract US from Taiwan issue.
Not gonna happen. There is enough competition on the market for Apple to prove that they are not a monopoly. Most of the smartphones sold in US are not iPhones. It is like accusing BMW, that they sell their cars only with their part and their software.
And I guarantee, it is much easier to write 200 new lines than change 125 out of 200 lines in somebodies code. No matter how nicely that code is written.
UN would never have military intervention in this. Nothing else would stop Israel. They are really angry on Hamas, more so than we were after sept. 11. And US would never press on Israel militarily either, because the president that would, would be impeached the same day.
It would not stop Israel. Just imagine if similar attack happened on US. We would retaliate and the UN be dammed. Actually, you do not have to imagine. A smaller attack (as % of US population) on Sept 11 resulted in two wars with popular support at the beginning!
We had only once in US history a candidate who was not committed to peaceful transfer of power and who incited insurrection. No, not every election you have a choice to vote for or against such candidate.
I feel this veto will have more or less the same effect.
