    There have been responses but USA simply veto’s any move to put pressure on them.

        No, more like “you are suspended for a while, because of an aggressive military invasion of your neighbor and causing hundreds and hundreds of civilian deaths”

          I was talking about isn’trael but okay. Funny how just shattering people in your own country for 8 years is just completely fine for the west. Doesn’t matter if they’re russian right? I’ll care when the standards are actually applied, and not just abused to be a wing of the united state’s political fuckery.

            Ok, I didnt understand your post properly

            There have been numerous attempts to curb growth of Israel but it only takes one blocking vote by a permanent UN member to stop a motion. Those permanent members are China, France, Russia (inherited from USSR), UK, and USA. Since there is a historically close link between USA and Israel, USA blocks actions against Israel. But this itself does not make the organization USA-centric, and it’s unrelated to why Russia was suspended from the group.
