Does a country that invades other states, bombs & murders civilians in hospitals, residential areas and kidnaps children BELONG in the UN Security council?

It is time to kick Putin's Russia off the UN Security Council

Unpunished evil grows - so why aren't we even contemplating expelling a terrorist state from their seat at the top table?

@Anastasiya The Security Council was never intended to be a purity test or popularity contest. Stalin was on the Security Council, and the US remains on despite having killed a million civilians in the Middle East and bombing many weddings, schools, and hospitals in the past 25 years.
@zoroaster In what way your anti-American stance solves the current problem with Russian fascists murdering Ukrainian civilians?
@Anastasiya As an American, it’s not my job to save Ukrainians. America’s goal is to bleed Russia by prolonging and making the conflict as bloody as possible. I can assure you that whatever you’re currently doing or suggesting is not going to save Ukrainian lives. Good luck!
@zoroaster Aren't you also human?
It just seems that you are ok with fascism and imperialism as long as it's not the US doing the war crimes. Got it.
@Anastasiya In 2018, US Congress banned sending weapons to Ukraine due to pervasive Nazi activity and corruption, and only lifted the ban when Ukrainian deaths became useful for our great power game against Russia. Any American who pretends to care about Ukraine is deceiving you. After there are no more conscripts to send to the grinder, Ukraine will be dropped faster than we dropped Afghan girls. Trying to browbeat people into saying otherwise is only deceiving yourself.
@zoroaster Nice example of typical Russian propaganda. Tell me, what is "Nazi" about Ukraine? The Jewish president? The multiethnic and diverse (from Muslim Crimean Tatars to Jewish and Christians) community living together and resisting Russian fascist invasion? Or maybe the absence of far-right in the parliament?

@Anastasiya Take your debate to US Congress and the NYT (article from two months ago). The fact is that weapon sales to Ukraine were banned until very recently, until Ukrainian deaths became useful to America. Easily verifiable facts. It’s in America’s interests for Ukraine conflict to drag on, which is why we have been sandbagging on Abrams tanks, F-16s, etc. America isn’t trying to save Ukraine, and will not save Ukraine. At least with Afghanistan, we put our own troops on the ground. As Lindsey Graham said recently, this is “free for us”, because it’s only foreigners dying. You’ll need to go browbeat somebody else if you want reassurances that America actually cares about Ukrainian lives.

Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History

Troops’ use of patches bearing Nazi emblems risks fueling Russian propaganda and spreading imagery that the West has spent a half-century trying to eliminate.

@zoroaster I am still waiting for an answer to any of the questions.
Also, by your "standard", ss the US Nazi? Maybe Belgium is as well? New Zealand? But you don't want to acknowledge any of the facts. Why would you if you can stay hypocritical and regurgitate Russian narratives.🤷
@Anastasiya You don’t get to ask me questions. I’m simply correcting your misconceptions. The Security Council is not a prize for purity; it’s checks-and-balances for the 5 biggest warmongers on the planet. The US owes Ukraine nothing and offers Ukraine nothing but war, because we don’t care about Ukraine beyond it’s utility as a cat’s paw. Like I said, if you want someone to whisper sweet nothings while Ukraine gets wrecked and generation of men is lost, you’ll need to go harass someone else.
