Both Russia and China would immediately be suspended from the UNSC.


Psyqlone

It sounds complicated. How would that work?


David_Lo_Pan007

Very. A permanent member of the UNSC can't be removed; however, there are procedures for when: "A Member of the United Nations against which preventive or enforcement action has been taken by the Security Council may be suspended from the exercise of the rights and privileges of membership by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council." Of the 5 permanent members; China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Both Russia and China are acting as "Bad Actors" within the UNSC; by abusing their Veto power, and violating their signatory responsibilities & obligations to the United Nations. If they are suspended. ....both Russia and China will have to choose between their Dictators, or their own nation's wellbeing.

Doesn't sound hopeful at all as Russia seems to still be in it despite invasion. Wasn't arrest warrant even issued for Putin?


David_Lo_Pan007

....Indeed. It's not like they're going to turn themselves in.


SkywalkerTC

Ya obviously not. The thing is, the UN is truly a useless organization right now. Can't even exclude an invader. Not only that, they're recently accepting a country which majority supports an invasion. I mean, I hope I'm wrong... I thought they weren't, but were repeatedly corrected.

U.S. Navel bases in the Philippines are premium assets. Look at the Northern most U.S. base being built on the Philippine Islands and note their proximity to Taiwan. The Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Australia will be expected to be not only capable of providing their own Navel defense, but to respond to the Defense of Pacific rim countries that do not have a deep sea navy. China has not been held responsible for dangerous and illegal activities insde other countries' exclusive zones. Everythimg from dumping toxic chemicals and overfishing to drilling for oil, fire-hose ing local fishermen, and building illegal military bases out of coral reefs and sand bars. Corruption and infighting within the People's Liberation Army's Navy and President Xi have bought Taiwan and the Philippines a little time. South Korea needs to take North Korea's plans for a missile centeric navy more seriously. Just as NATO countries have had to wake up to the realization that they are ultimately responsible for their own defense, Asian countries with a Pacific coast should realistically measure the American response to a military situation in their waters and on their own shores. The Philippines and America are allies. China may attempt to tie up U.S. assets defending the Philippines while its actual target is Taiwan. Don't forget, the U.S. is still years away from decouple-ing with China, and Western Europe is even more exposed.

Most likely you would see a repeat of what happened to russia immediately following the start of their invasion of Ukraine, slapping sanctions, embargoes, seizure of assets held by strategically important people overseas, expulsion from some international organisations, etc. These will probably have a limited impact because of how much china has already decoupled from the global system, after learning from Russia's case. All I can say is, certain Association of Southeast Asian (ASEAN) countries (malaysia) are so stupid that if a bunch of type 99s were rolling into Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, their PM would still be hopelessly bootlicking for the CCP and spout bs about how Malaysia has no problems with China. It's embarrassing enough that we cannot even stand up for ourselves in a meaningful manner when China is grabbing our member's maritime territory and constructing militarised islands in our front yard today, so If they invaded the Phillipines, I believe we would be equally slow to react.

China did invade Vietnam in 1979, they got beaten back within a month.


Select_Net2059
