    I know the SC seat was important for the USSR for vetoing a lot of bad resolutions, but the entire “permanent seat” thing is stupid. Especially considering that nowadays Britain and France can barely influence anything out of its own backyard. Britain especially. Why isn’t Japan given a permanent SC seat? Why not Iran or Turkiye or Egypt or any other African or Middle Eastern country? Shouldn’t South American interests also be accounted for? Why not give Brazil one? The entire system at that level is completely bygon, and there really needs some way to prevent one country from vetoing every resolution
