I agree. I have a question, one whose implications I do like at all. I've been hearing some commentators say that this could render the UN essentially a debating society, or at most, an organization that helps manage peace. We may fight the war, but will go to the UN to help afterwards with the peace. If that is so, and I think it may be, then who benefits from the Russian/French/German/CHINESE hard line? This view of the UN looks suspiciously like the role that Clinton tried to force our military into for 8 years--peace keepers.
Could Clinton be working behind the scenes to encourage this defiance? He's known to have his eye on the SG. This would be nudging the UN into the type of role with which Clinton feels most comfortable. Not a comforting thought...
Unless he renounces his citizenship, this is a legal impossibility.
