Because all the agressor countries have veto power on anything, aka it's a useless organisation.

Without that, the UN would be even more useless. It’s a discussion forum, not a federation. You need to have ”evil” at the table. And nuclear capable evil won’t sit at the table unless they get a big veto to swing around.

But they are in fact at the table. Communicating. Most likely in bad faith, but still communicating and talking.

Every time someone says "but the veto powers!!!" I like to helpfully point out the league of nations
