    They shouldn’t get kicked off the UN proper, but I am (and the article) talking about excluding them from the security council. Plus they shouldn’t have the veto power

      The security council veto power isn’t something handed out for being nice, it’s largely “we have an arsenal of hundreds of nuclear weapons and are theoretically willing to use them”

      While that seems a good choice, the same argument could be made for the US - we do some shady shit. Okay, we do a lot of shady shit. In a way the UN is an “everyone gets a trophy” situation, and it keeps them coming back [insert Bronze Medal Celebration meme].
