At least China and Russia weren't the usual pricks.
They do have juicy contracts resting on their votes. That can't be said about Cuba or Ecuador or Zambia.
Well, for Cuba and Ecuador, they supported Quiddafi which was a victim of NATO-American imperialism. South American socialism isn't my cup of tea.
To me its interesting to see which are the pragmatic socialist countries in Latin America. El Salvador and Uruguay both abstained (and are both run by moderate socialist governments that are very careful in their positioning) while Brazil, Argentina and most importantly
Peru (maybe Humala won't be a Chavez stooge then?) voted in favor of the NTC.
