“Veto power (permanent membership on the security council) was granted to what were considered the five major allied powers at the close of World War II to balance all the smaller countries which played lesser roles and could otherwise easily outvote them.”
1) Don’t you think we need to balance out Russia and China? Obviously they aren’t the same allies that they were after WW2
2) India has a huge population that rivals China’s
3) They also have nuclear weapons

The statement came as Obama made a wide-ranging address that envisioned closer economic and security ties between the United States and India, standing "beside themselves".
If the next Congress impeaches this fool, he'll be too busy ordering ACORN and SEIU thugs to firebomb the homes of the Republicans trying him for impeachment to spend much time getting India on the UNSC.
