    We did hold up our end.

    We brought it before the UNSC, Russia vetoed any proposal. That was our agreement, Russia did not hold up theirs.

    This is why the VETO power needs to go.

      Unfortunately, without the veto power I expect the nuclear-armed countries would just leave the UN and it would lose what little usefulness it still has.

        Test that argument and build something better if it holds true?

        Btw, peer pressure works on countries too!
