26 FEBRUARY 2022, SHANK NEWS - THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES JOINED INDIA AND CHINA IN ABSTAINING TO VOTE ON THE UNITED NATIONS RESOLUTION TO CONDEMN RUSSIA FOR THEIR INVASION OF UKRAINE, SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLOURS AS A MONEY-DRIVEN, HUMAN RIGHTS DENYING SHOWER OF DICTATORS IN THE DESERT.
THE EMIRATES ABSTAINED DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INTERESTS RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRES HAVE IN THE UAE, AND CONSEQUENTLY THEY SHOULD BE SHOWN GLOBALLY FOR WHAT THEY ARE, AND NOW CAN WE PLEASE STOP BRANDING GREG NORMAN'S PROPOSED NEW TOUR AS THE 'SAUDI GOLF LEAGUE' AND START REFERRING TO THE EUROPEAN TOUR AND THE UAE TOUR?
THERE LITERALLY IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UAE AND SAUDI ARABIA ASIDE FROM IT BEING MORE OPEN TO THE WEST AND MORE OPEN TO WEALTHY EXPATS LOOKING FOR SOME SUN. FOR ANY NATION NOT TO CONDEM RUSSIA FOR THIS UNPROVOKED, ILLEGAL INVASION IS BEYOND THE PALE, AND THE EUROPEAN TOUR GROUP SHOULD DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM DP WORLD AND THE UAE.
SO FAR, UNSURPRISINGLY, THE EUROPEAN TOUR GROUP HAS REMAINED SILENT ON THE UKRAINE INVASION, YET THEY AND THE CORRUPT, COMPLIANT MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS HAD PLENTY TO SAY ON THE SAUDI'S SUPPORTING GREG NORMAN. TONIGHT KYIV IS SET TO BE OVERWHELMED BY RUSSIAN FORCES, A EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY IS SET TO BE TAKEN OVER BY THE RUSSIAN DICTATOR. THE EUROPEAN TOUR IS BASED IN EUROPE, WAS BORN IN EUROPE AND RUNS THE EUROPEAN RYDER CUP TEAM, IT IS AS SYNONYMOUS WITH THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE AS ANY OTHER SPORTS ORGANISATION, AND IT SHOULD BE PUBLICLY CONDEMNING THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE. BUT OF COURSE, IT WON'T FOR FEAR OF UPSETTING ITS BILLIONAIRE BACKERS, DP WORLD.
THE DECISION BY THE EUROPEAN TOUR GROUP TO SELL OUT OUR TOUR TO THE MIDDLE EAST SHOULD BE GETTING THE SAME NEGATIVE PRESS AS GREG NORMAN IS GETTING, IF NOT WORSE.
I WISH THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE ALL THE BEST FOR THE NIGHT THAT LIES AHEAD, IT SEEMS SET TO BE DREADFUL.
I ALSO PLEAD WITH EUROPEAN GOLF TO END ITS RELIANCE UPON THE MIDDLE EAST AND MOVE IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, MAYBE TOWARDS THE WORLD GOLF GROUP AND PREMIER GOLF LEAGUE?
