#1 ...the powerful Security Council....

Now that's a good one, Dr. Steve! I can see it now. The UN will increase the seats to 25 just to stick it to the US. Then the UNSC will be over critical mass and will accelerate the decline of the body. What could a body of 25 really do except consume food, drink, and oxygen and generate greenhouse gases and methane?

I'm glad Bolton is UN ambassador. He will keep them a-buzzing, and that is a source of merriment.

#2 China sez NO, the US sez NO. It is not going to happen. This is just some Eurowanking and TRANZI BS. He is telling the EU, get over it, You still don't count.

#3 "U.S. opposition is a key factor because there is no consensus among the 191 U.N. member states on how to expand the council."

And there never will be consensus among those diametrically opposed to democracy. They will never relinquish their self-imposed power and corrupt money for -gasp- accountability and freedom for the peons. A League of Democracies is past due.
