America abstaining on this vote was more of a political stunt and more of Obama trying to cement some sort of Legacy for his eight years in office. Do you think he would have orchestrated this if Hillary won the election? We all know the answer, same goes with the Russia hacking, it has been known for over a year this was going on. What did Obama do, denied it was happening until the election results were known, then alas ~ sanctions ~ he is and always will a sore loser.
