Yeah, I could see a UNSC of:

1. US for North, Central American and the Caribean and one rotating seat.

2. China for Asia and one rotating seat.

3. UK for Europe and one rotating seat.

4. India for South Central Asia and one rotating seat. [I guess their region might stretch from India to the Med including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq Israel etc. ]

5. Brazil for South America and one rotating seat.

6. Australia for Oceana and one rotating seat.

7. Nigeria for Africa and one rotating seat.

8. Russia/Japan on a rotating basis for the 15th seat.

And there could be a rule that no country can be a rotating member of the security council IF they do not have an elected government in an election with competition within the last 8 or 6 or 5 years. Also there could be a rule that any permanent member would have their voting suspended if they do not have an elected government within the last 8 or 6 or 5 years.

But be very careful with these rules. They would be used by the left, to argue that the Electoral College must go and that the US currently does not have an elected government. We know this is bunk, but the left in the US will use anything for political advantage.

Why do you think that the international state system as presently constituted should be preserved?

When the delegate from Nigeria at the UN speaks or votes, who or what do you suppose he "represents"?

Do you think that an "elected government" where the average voter has an IQ of 70 and is illiterate, where each ethnic or religious group votes 100% for its own candidate, or where all candidates swear fealty to murderous barbarian cults has the same status as the Federal government of the United States, and therefore should be voting with the US on the basis of equality?

The whole postwar facade of "international law", "world opinion", and especially the UN, is a ridiculous farce which should be ended, not improved.

The only opinion that the "world" has that is relevant to us is that all the people with brains and guts want to escape their hellholes and come here.

The only international issue of significance to us (one that we can't seem to agree on) is whether we should allow this to continue, leading to a Fortress America, or whether we should help the talented tenth everywhere to overthrow their kleptocracies and make a world safe for a globalized America.

The farce at Turtle Bay has nothing to do with helping us answer this question.
