I know that my opinion doesīnt mean anything, but do you know yours donīt?
Fact are facts and no matter of opinion, you are still a member of both UN and the SC.
You can have whatever opinion you like, but if that opinion is just based on an emotional re-action very few are likely to listen to it.
First the facts are, the USA does not have to abide by anything the UN puts forth whether we are members or not. It may make you feel good to hide behind the skirt of the UN but even if you believe the UN to be some 'world government' the fact is it's the US who are the world's 'police men'. No matter how large the gaggle of crooks and despots you gather together none of them have the military, economic (as in independent from the US economy) or political power to force the US to comply.
I am pretty sure that some kind of embargos against both EU products and USA products have been threatned in diffrent negociations about trade, etc, etc.
Do not over estimate the ability to use such messures if needed.
The trade balance is not in our favour, so to say.
The US isn't wholly dependent on EU products, at least not to the degree that the EU is dependent on US consumers to buy EU products. If the EU were to start a trade war with the US then the affect of such a trade or sanction war would be huge on the EU and world economy.
Certainly countries like Japan, Mexico, Canada and many others wont follow the EU if it goes that way, it would harm their economies exponentially.
So all your dreams of UN and EU power are just that.
Please, never mind what I think, all is just hypotetical, but the question about adding a permanent member is not, it is a reality.
It's more then hypothetical it defies reality. The best a poor Swede can do is organize some sort and march and carry some clever slogan on a placard protetsting the evil US. However, nobody I know cares much about that outdated '60s hippie garbage. Most of us just laugh.
