The whole point of the UN is to avoid a major war between nuclear states. It is not a reward for countries that happen to share our values. The UN was designed to permanently cement the post-WW2 powers as the major powers, and to provide a forum for them to resolve major differences rather than feel like they have to resort to lobbing atom bombs at one another. Everything else the UN does - from the participation of small states to the very important humanitarian initiatives - is of secondary concern.
Yes let's cut every single diplomatic links and ship as much weapons as we can to Ukraine, this surely will not get out of control
I used to think people is 1910s and 1930s were plain dumb when they all blindly marched towards both world wars, now I see it happening live and it's frightening to see how many of our politicians and journalists get hard at the idea of escalating a conflict

Russia would still sit in the UN's General Assembly. This proposal is about removing its veto power in the Security Council.
It will be very lonely on the council if we kick people out for things like "launching wars of aggression"...

Why would expelling Russia from the security council cause a Nuclear Holocaust?
It's no guarantee but cutting one more diplomatic link surely won't help
Anyone really believes they'll just continue to shoot each-other until someone packs up and leave ? This conflict will end like most conflicts, around a big wooden table with a fat stack of paper and a fancy ink pen. Either that or we escalate until we all lose

The point of the UN is to negotiate your differences rather than decide them with MAD or nuclear weapons.
They can't veto stuff anymore.
