The COFA states are very strongly aligned with the US and pretty much always vote with them. I don't know much about, say, Tonga, but I'm guessing it's a way of signaling cooperation to the US as well.

The resolution has declaratory power only but provides international backing to those countries that want to take additional steps against Israel.

I know you're joking, but some of them are right there

Finally, the lawyer dog

Here's the full quote:

Case in point: in addition to having to pay a guy who he bet $5 million couldn’t prove him wrong $5 million after that guy proved him wrong, and after he went to court to try to avoid paying the money, Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.

There's nothing technically wrong with it, it's just really awkwardly worded.

Actually, those benches are kinda uncomfortable. Still a nice rest after you've been walking for a couple hours, but not suitable for anything else.

I still don't think you understand the point of the graphic. It's called "What European language am I reading?", not "how are these European languages related?"

The character you're looking for it ɪ, not I. In this case I think you'd write [ˈdɪsˌtɹoʊ ˈbɪsˌtɹoʊ] (also adding secondary stress and correcting to a more likely rhotic). Although it depends on accent (especially because I chose phonetic ([]) transcription instead of phonemic (//, which you originally had) (which means transcribing the actual sounds (I kept this pretty broad still because I don't know how you pronounce words exactly) instead of the conceptual sounds they map onto) because this is intended at least in part for an audience which doesn't primarily speak English) and there's a lot of ambiguity anyways (is there actually secondary stress on the second syllable (where is that syllable boundary anyways? I originally had it before the s but I think in regular speech [s.t] is more likely to be realized.)? I think there should be but Wiktionary doesn't include it).

Uhh yeah all those parentheses seem to match up. I'm not editing that down more to try to make sense, my first draft was even more verbose lol
