It doesn't have the guts to throw Russia out of the Security Council, so why should we expect anything else? Sometimes I wonder why we even have it. At the beginning of the War in Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy even said they if the UN can't do anything to stop Russian aggression, they should dissolve. Really at this point, what is it good for? What has it done to improve things in the world? It just looks like a toothless organization.
