President Obama explicitly backed India becoming the sixth permanent member of the UN Security Council today. Before we all get too excited that something happened here, let's remember he's not the only say, and China may or may not agree. Same for the other permanent members. So this is an important step.
The Security Council seems like such a broken institution. The permanent members literally pick and choose which wars are ok. The permanent members are all set based on World War II. I'm not claiming expertise here, just saying this whole thing seems off.
