What is stopping Russia being kicked off the UNSC? I mean should North Korea get a seat soon?

You.

Thus far you have failed to boot them off, hence the status quo. Why you have not exercised your authority to remove Russia and install North Korea is anyone’s guess.
 
There is a way to finagle it, but doing so would require a supermajority vote in the General Assembly which is not currently obtainable.

The fact that no other member of the security council wants to set the precedent that wars of aggression can get you booted off.
 
According to both history and reality.

Duh.

What a superbly nebulous post.

History has no say in the UN.

Reality neither.

Your "fact" is yet another opinion presented as fact.

When was the last time the US, France and UK fought a war in order to gain territory?
 
The last time the US fought a war of aggression was less than twenty years ago. Britain was also involved in that war of aggression, as a matter of fact.

The US also passed an act which enabled the president to take “any means necessary” to keep American war criminals safely out of the hands of the ICC.

The history speaks for itself.

Iraq was a blatant war of aggression. Wailing “but at least we didn’t annex them” can’t change that. Duh ;)

Because that is precisely what Russia is doing.

"BUT MURICA derrrrrrrrrr IRAQ" doesn't answer the question.
 
More triggered Fledermaus wailing because having to face the fact America engaged in a war of aggression only a short time ago hurts his fragile feelings.

Here’s a hint: wars of aggression don’t magically become okay just because you shriek “but we didn’t annex them!” ;)

As usual, your horrified shrieks at having to face actual history instead of whitewashed propaganda is amusing.

Did anyone say wars of aggression are magically OK because nothing was annexed?

No.

It DOES add a level of perfidy to the situation.

Childish stupid talk in lieu of discussion.

The Tigerace way.
 
Gee, other than you by sobbing “but they didn’t annex Iraq” when it was pointed out the US engaged in a war of aggression not that long ago?

Typical Fledermaus, goosestepping along in support of American atrocities as usual.

Look at the question again.

2003. They gave it up again for the most part since the locals hated them...does not change the fact that the US went into Iraq to gain territory that had oil under it.
