UNITED NATIONS — The United Nations Security Council is due to meet on Monday after the US attacked Venezuela and deposed its long-serving autocratic President Nicolas Maduro, a move that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres views as setting “a dangerous precedent.”

Colombia, backed by Russia and China, requested the meeting of the 15-member council, diplomats say. The UN Security Council has met twice — in October and December — over the escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela.

“This is a colonial war aimed at destroying our republican form of government, freely chosen by our people, and at imposing a puppet government that allows the plundering of our natural resources, including the world’s largest oil reserves,” Venezuela’s UN Ambassador Samuel Moncada writes to the UN Security Council.

The Security Council is even more useless than the UNGA. We have a veto for anything it tries to do adverse to our interests.

The UNSC, and the UN in general, is an antiquated and useless organization. It needs to be replaced

Not much they can do since the U.S. has veto power that can override any vote the Security Council takes regarding action against us.

We could let them loose to vote in favor of the inevitable condemnation. But I would be surprised if they did so.

France will vote in favor.

It’s a pretty unfriendly UNSC for Trump (not that it matters). Colombia, Somalia, Pakistan, the DRC, are all rotating members this cycle.

Maybe the Somalia guy in charge of the council this month can answer to his fraud charges while there.

Seeing as how he doesn't get to enjoy diplomatic immunity as a US citizen.

Ambassador Mike Waltz should tell the UN Council he will not veto their resolution, but he does have a letter from the president officially removing the U.S from the U.N. along with a 30-day eviction notice to get their asses out of the country.
