That was creative.

As well as germane.

Those deemed the winners in WWII got the veto. Sort of a spoils of war.

Not true. It was decided to give Russia a permanent seat because of some foolish belief that it would encourage Stalin to be a respectable member of the international community. Very naive.

Didn't you just contradict yourself....totalitarian regimes preventing a tyranny by the non-democratic members of the UN. !!!!!

Only for folks like yourself who are apparently incapable of logical analysis of the issue..

It only takes one permanent member to veto a UNSC action.

Thus, the US, Britain, France, and originally Taiwan, could veto anything the Soviets attempted to pass in the UNSC, while the Soviets could do the same to them.

And all of them could veto any action by other nations to disadvantage those who were bearing the primary cost for supporting and financing the UN..

I have no doubt that you'll change your opinion when China becomes the dominant economic power in the world.

If they are willing to pay their share of the UN expenses for peace keeping and international assistance programs, I have no problem with it.

China is going to be an economic power regardless of whether it's on the UNSC or not.
