All the major powers, Russia included always act in their own self interest or act based on specific ideologies. If you honestly believe that Russia hasn't abused the UN to damage other countries then you're either a complete dupe or part of their propaganda machine.As a round table for all nations, also US interests must be respected. If they are actual interests. Not if they try to abuse the UN to deal damage to another country.Just the US...........For too long, the UN has been a tool of the US foreign policy. The conflict in Syria shows that it partly works, though. I have seen in the past years that the UN, when not busy parroting baseless and ridiculous accusations placed by Washington, has indeed done some of the work it should do.Yes and no. The UN is a failed organization that is now a collection of individual and certain national self interests that has corrupted it's original intent supplanting that intent with specific ideologies and a complete failure to adapt to an entirely different world than what existed when it was founded. The Security Council is a joke because specific issues are deemed untouchable by individual powers comprising the Council, that include both Russia and the US not to mention China and France.And agreed upon by the international community.International law as determined by the UN......... Yeah, right.......
I suspect the UN will eventually go the way of the League of Nations.
