Ah, that explains why India and North Korea have veto power.

As good as this comment is, neither has the range or targeting capability that the US does or that the USSR did.

The security council veto was designed to keep the US and the USSR at the negotiating table and off the battlefield.

Then why are all those other nations on the security council? Just seems like we only need the members with veto power at this point.

We would have a much more effective UN if only Pakistan stopped vetoing everything!
