    1. To which a majority of member states vote yes, and then Russia vetos the vote.

      >The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations. The Republic of China, France, **the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics**, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council. 

      The UN Charter doesnt mention Russia, so that seat formerly held by the USSR should be left vacant.

    3. That wouldn’t work. The entire UN Permament Security Council Seat was created in Post-WW2 solely to mantain the sphere of influences of the great winners at that decade, with far more power than the other members of UN.

      All will do is for the other seats says ‘yes” and Russia says “no” and that be the end of it, because Permament Seats have full veto powers.

      it’s not even possible

      the way the UN is setup makes it easy to add a country to the UN and basically impossible to remove one from the council, you may as well dissolve the UN and create a new organisation from scratch

    5. I‘d consider it more likely that Trump will propose Putin as honorary chairman for the Security Council

      First, it will not be possible because it will be vetoed. Secondly, Russia has the power to ignore any UN security resolution, similar to other Security Council permanent members. Giving them the seat/veto makes diplomacy easier to conduct.

      The seat is not where the power is, its the other way round where the hard power gave them the right to the seat.

    7. Russia lost any claim to dictate Ukraine’s future the moment it tried to conquer it by force.

      Ukraine doesn’t need Moscow’s permission to choose its alliances, its security or its future that’s what sovereignty actually means.

      How about making the vote on that Russia should keep its seat. Then some other country could veto…
