@josephcox remember when #Palau voted with the US, North Korea, and Russia against Ukraine?
Palau is the up and comer in the crypto money laundering industry... lots of Russian money.

The list of countries voting against condemning Putin for the invasion of Ukraine reads like The League Of Failed Democracies (other than North Korea, which never bothered pretending to be a democracy).
joining the same team as north korea, russia, sudan, and equatorial guinea feels like a real "jumping the shark" moment for america.
p.s. people wondering why #Palau is on the list may be unaware that Palau is a real up and comer in the global #MoneyLaundering industry and has become infested with russian money in the aftermath of the sanction regime.

people who wonder why #Palau voted to condemn #Ukraine for invading itself along with #Russia, the USA, #NorthKorea, and the various African kleptocracies that make up The League Of Failed Democracies should read this.
(tl;dr Palau is a crypto money laundering hub)

@jubiloMX That's correct! The red circle on the #Bangladesh 
flag is slightly off-centre towards the hoist to ensure it appears centered when the flag is flying. It’s a thoughtful design that reflects both practicality and aesthetics.
The #Palau flag’s off-centre golden disc has a different significance—it symbolizes the moon, deeply connected to their cultural and natural harmony. Amazing how flags carry such unique stories and meanings, isn’t it?
