  2. Russia is a permanent member of the UN security council and can veto any resolution against them. They began the ukraine operation while they were holding the rotating presidency of this council due to the added political protection it afforded.

  3. Un has no executive power on stopping what nations do , power comes from the “big ones” telling the “small ones” to stop or to allow em.

  4. The UN is not ‘world police’. What they are is a mechanism to stop World War 3 from ever happening. They were formed after WW2 for this purpose, and thus far they have wholly succeeded.

    Although the UN can sometimes deploy military forces, they are typically small for quelling small conflicts and maintaining peace.

    The UN can’t stop the russia-ukraine war because Russia has said it will mean world war 3. The UN security council generally consists of nations that could engage in a third world war. When they veto, they are declaring that if ignored, it will be all-out war.

    Is russia bluffing? Possibly. But the UN isn’t for calling bluffs. It’s just a forum that allows nations to tell eachother what they will go to war over, without actually having to go to war.

  5. Their job is to talk. Corrupted to the core, unfortunately.
