#3 The real news will be to track Japan's contributions, as they threatened to reduce them if this came about. Wonder if any MSM will pay attention?

#5 The PRC always intended to veto Japan's bid. Another step in convince the Japanese that the UN has outlived its usefullness.

That is one reason I've supported expansion of the Security Council, I don't think the other permanent members will allow the expansion so the US looks good for trying and the UN looks bad as attempts are shot down.
