This particular rejection vote by the US in the UN is a bit peculiar to me. Obviously, I understand the sensitivity around the situation--so why not abstain from the vote? Why when given that option, not use abstention and instead choose rejection? It sends a powerful and deliberate message, and I'm not sure who it's supposed to appease nor what interests that represents.

"We really like what the US is offering, but our citizens are not as cynical about the impactfulness of UN resolutions as we are and would be upset if we voted against it."
