TL/dr: the US is trying to make political gains with India in supporting sanctioning terrorists associated with the 2008 Mumbai attack and China is seeking to make political gains with Pakistan by blocking the ones based there.

That's ironic considering the US delisted ETIM as a terrorist group, giving them access to previously frozen funds to carry out more attacks.

The US under trumps admin claimed ETIM doesnt exist anymore in 2020 and removed them from the list of designated terrorists, but America reported bombing uyghur insurgents tied to the group in afghanistan in 2018.

ETIM is responsible for the deaths of many innocent chinese civilians, if the us can play these games then china will too.

Anthony Blinken supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the iraq war which resulted in the deaths of millions of innocent Iraqi civilians. (joe biden did too and biden voted for the iraq war in 2003).

all of them owe the people of iraq an apology.

There is no bigger terrorist in the world then the US-led pro war neoconservatives who control us foreign policy.

"Everyone should agree with me and no one should disagree".

I mean, I also feel like that sometimes. But I want to expect more from these people.

> US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said "All relevant parties" should support the resolutions to designate terrorists under the United Nations Security Council's 1267 list.

> Many members of the Security Council, including the United States, have adopted its sanctions against the terrorists behind these attacks, Blinken pointed out.

> "But our efforts are more effective when we act together which is why we work with India to put forth nomination to designate several terrorists to UN 1267 committee. All relevant parties should support these resolutions and no nation should stand in their way," the US Secretary of State said.
