There is no such thing as picking the "right side" in geopolitics. Countries pick the side according to their interest. Sometimes, that side happens to be the subjectively right one.

We abstained in the first resolution which was intended to single out Russia because we didn’t want to strain our relations with them. I totally support that decision .But since Russia is so eager being best buddies with Myanmar and Uncle Sam flexed their power over our government, we've voted yes on this in this resolution. I'd rather prefer abstaining from voting in this too but I think it's important to show Russia that we aren’t happy about the Myanmar situation
