Just like the tankies in this thread, Putin is seething.

Finally the Russians bombed a TV station. What took them so long? Enemy communications, especially the media should be the first to go! That building is a legitimate dual-use enemy infrastructure in a war. That is according to NATO doctrine. Among the first things to get bombed in Yugoslavia and Iraq are the TV stations. Humanitarianism be damned, this is war! Information is a most powerful weapon in any war. Allowing the enemy to communicate effectively is akin to self-sabotage.

I understand Putin's intentions of trying not to make life too hard for his fellow Slav brothers. But in general, the Western Ukrainian populace just won't give a damn. Losing Crimea to the Russians, and 7 years of being told that Russia is the big bad evil invading Eastern Ukraine has made them very anti-Russia. This is in addition to historical fascist ideology prevalent in Western Ukraine. Even if Russia fights with its hands tied, those hateful Ukrainians just won't care. They will never accept the Russians as benevolent liberators.

There were many videos of Ukrainian civilians protesters blocking roads, and telling the Russians to: "F off back to Russia!", followed by "Glory to Ukraine!". The Russian convoy then just meekly backed off and drove onto another route, to the cheers of the protesters. I would bet that those 'protesters' must have informed the position of those Russian convoys to Ukrainian AT squads. Definitely via regular 4G communication. Russian soldiers paid with their lives for being kind to these 'protesters'. The 4G networks in Ukraine needs to be taken out ASAP!

Everyone including the NATO expected them to do this in the first hour of the war, the fact they didn't until now is mind boggling....

Ukraine is always a UN member to begin with. I don't see why it could take USSR's seat.
I'm sure there is some multiple ways Russia can be excluded from the UNSC using off hand tactics. Whatever way they try, it will immediately isolate China and a multitude of other countries.

The UN will just become another expensive government building in New York, able to pass whatever resolutions it wants but it won't change anything internationally. A UNSC condemnation of the Ukraine war without Russia, China means the exact same as the US government just making the announcement. The UN is powerless without it's members.

It was one of the reasons China was eventually readmitted to the UN. There's no point in the UN existing if the biggest country isn't part of it.
