  2. There is article 6 of the UN charter where the General Assembly can vote to kick a member state out for egregious violations of the tenets of the UN charter… but that vote must be approved by the Security Council… and a permanent member (which Russia is) can veto it. 🤦‍♂️ The 5 members with veto power are engrained IN the UN charter… so changing the security council veto rules will require revising, if not rewriting the UN Charter.
