  2. no, germany only ever abstained on UN aid votes, and only in the general assembly as they are not part of the security council at the moment. and the only ones that have a veto at the UN are france, britain, russia, china, and the US exclusively in the security council, where they as permanent members really are the only members of any relevance, while others rotate through as non-permanent members but are practically always to a high enough degree influenced by the very powerful permanent members that anything the permanent members agree on will never fail by way of the non-permanent members assembling a majority to vote against them, which hypothetically would overrule them. on matters that don't find agreement among permanent members, a permanent member will veto, so the non-permanent members really are entirely irrelevant regardless of whether there is agreement among permanent members or not.

  3. ​ @yumnax that probably was not a position exclusive to germany. i-country has similarly active support from some of the far right governments of former eastern bloc states within the EU. germany has no special veto power in the EU either, but a lot of its functions require unanimity (abstentions permitted) so that any country's no vote is a veto.
