That leaves Ukraine as the sole original member of the UN that has remained faithful to the organization’s principles and was also a constituent of the USSR. It, therefore, has a credible claim to the USSR’s seat.
leading analyst of international legal issues raised by actions of the Russian Federation in the post-Soviet era…
Can we just get to the part where you admit you were wrong and we move on? You fought me on self declared republics for 2 weeks and were wrong… lets just save a bit of time here
Why do you work yourself up into these frenzies? If I said up you’d say down.
Look, the UN security council is made up of 15 countries. The permanent five, including Russia, and ten others that are elected. Ireland is currently an elected member. The P5 have a veto. Russia has a veto.
The USSR has a veto, Russian federation takes the seat, they’ve broken the rules, the Ukraine has equal right to the seat. They can take it legally. Whether they will is another story because it will probably start world war 3… everything up to the world war 3 part is a fact, the last bit is an opinion
I’m genuinely laughing to myself that a poster has actually seriously tried to argue that the UN is not just a talking shop but actually has real teeth, especially against a nuclear armed genocidal despot who sits as a permanent member on its security council alongside his bosom buddy from China.
But that doesn’t mean we turn back on what was gained.
Can you seriously read what this fucker has said about former Warsaw/Soviet countries?
I find it HILARIOUS that lads will give more credence to “Russia’s fear of encirclement” than the fear of people who actually lived under the thumb of Soviet rule and it turning back. All after Putin has rolled tanks into places he said were independent sovereign republics:
it’s being explored mate… the UN is trying to intervene, in any way it can. Are you arguing for the Russian Federations right to a permanent veto on the security council? Are you in that much of a frenzy to prove you aren’t wrong?
