It’s all about nuclear power. All nations in the Security Council have the power to end civilization with nuclear weapons. That’s what this war is about as well, Russia is just showing it can do as it pleases. There can be no democracy with such disparity of bellic power, that’s the reason that institution exists and it’s foolish to assume Russia could be expelled.
Nuclear power is unrelated to the security Council permanent members. They were simply the world powers that won WWII. At the time, many of them didn’t have nukes yet.
May not be how it started, but it’s what it’s become.
It is, however, one of the reasons people occasionally agitate to remove Russia because it wasn’t Russia that won WW2.
It was the USSR, a major component of such being Ukraine.
Then India and North Korea should be on the Security Council 🤷♀️
You have a point. India and Pakistan are out of the Security Council because they are underdeveloped and are busy having their nuclear missiles aimed at each other. North Korea has at most only a couple of ICBMs and is unable to destroy our entire civilization, even though it can create a lot of destruction with those. That is the most troublesome of nations for the UN, because they don’t give a fuck about rules and are slowly increasing their bellic power, thus all the fuss about them improving their nuclear program with the help of Russia. Geopolitics is fun.

I am going to guess that Russia would veto that resolution…
The only way to get rid of the veto powers would be to setup a completely different institution. That would be nice but it will never happen.
here’s a compromise, we get rid of all the vetos, and let the general assembly make binding decisions. surely the majority of the world’s population & nations would vote in support of Western Democratic interests
How are you going to enforce those “binding” decisions?
