#5 The US should push hard for Japan to have a seat as a way to punish China for not cooperating with North Korea. It also makes a strong statement that Nukes are not the key, economics are.

It's not as if the UN Security Council can be made any worse, we might as well get political capital out of it and let the Chinese and French shoot themselves in the feet trying to stop it and preserve their bit of power.
