They are talking about the security council, not the UN. The way members in the security council holds a veto to every decision paralyzes it. You should automatically lose your veto/seat in the council if you invade another country.
- the-dude 3y agoSo no US and no USSR then. Who is left?
- anon4242 3y agoLast I looked there were more than two members in the council, and also USSR hasn't been a member since 1991 if I recall correctly. Anyway here's the current list for you convenience: https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/current-members https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/current-members If the bylaws of the security council contained the risk of exclusion or at the very least loss of veto, I think both the US and Russia would more carefully contemplate the cost of the invasions they are guilty of.

- jowea 3y agoThe already limited authority of the UNSC is almost meaningless without the consensus of the great powers. An UNSC with only (pro-)Western powers sanctioned US intervention in the Korean War, did it make any difference beyond the use of the UN flag?
