Wait for the next "Emergency" meeting. [View all]

Yesterday, Russia again complained bitterly to the current President of the UNSC, who happens to represent the UK, about not getting his next day emergency meeting. I think that Barbara Woodward handled the complaint well, explaining what happened and why the meeting wasn't held immediately, but within the time limit required.

I think that Russia will test this system of complaints. The UNSC stated that all requests for an emergency meeting would be honored, as they had been here. I think that Russia will manufacture a new emergency complaint, just to make this point and to test the Security Council. They want to use the UN as a puppet for their PR, as stated in the Olympic Manifesto. This is going off the rails for them.
