  1.  @kevincrady2831  At the very least the UN needs to remove the veto power from permanent members when the decision being made is regarding that member who is breaking international law, as in the case invading a sovereign country. Besides the original member who had the permanent membership was the Soviet Union not Russia, but allowed Russia to have the membership when the Soviet Union collapsed.

  2.  @kyoai  I highly doubt China would join Russia against Nato. Chinese president warned Putin not to use nuclear arms in Ukraine, which is why Putin recently backed off on the threat. Do not under estimate Chinese President Xi Jinping, while they may buy Russia oil and sell supplies to Russia, Russian banks have begun using UnionPay, a Chinese company, to issue credit cards to replace Visa and Mastercard, which pulled out of Russia. Russian banks are also turning to the Chinese International Payment System to replace the SWIFT interbank settlement system used by most Western Banks. Thus China is becoming wealthier by not fighting a war for Russia. The reason I believe China would join Russia against Nato is: There have been long border disputes between Russia and China. A military conflict broke out in March 1969 that included clashes over Zhenbao Island in Heilongjiang Province and on the border between China’s far western province of Xinjiang and the Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan. Which led to fears of a nuclear war between them. As Russia seized southeast corner of Siberia from China, (roughly one million square miles) where ethnic Chinese still occupy which has vast amounts of open space and is resource-rich (region is rich in oil, natural gas, timber and valuable minerals, such as copper, diamonds, lead, zinc, bauxite, nickel, tin, mercury, gold and silver. ) capable of fueling China’s rise for decades to come. China is not going to fight Russia's battles, when China can gain financially by supplying and but not fighting in this war and by oil they need. Do not under estimate Chinese President Xi Jinping, he is aware that when Putin’s war in Ukraine is over, Russia will be weakened, isolated and desperate. It is quite possible Putin could be motivated to lease or even sell large parts of the RFE to China. Since China view is that it is entitled to this territory, both land and sea, that it once controlled, Xi may not feel the need to pay for access to these territories. He could go so far as to demand that Russia cede control of parts of this region to China. It remains to be seen whether, when this war is over, China will be there to prop up Putin or to pick Russia’s bones.

  3. One can tell what Putin cares about when Putin doesn't visit his soldiers on the front line or hospitals instead he views a bridge that was damaged.
