Since Russia and/or China automatically vetos every resolution that the US summits without reading or even considering it, why don't we just summit a resolution saying we support ISIS, Putin, the South Sea's conflicts, etc........they will automatically veto it because we summited it, and "BINGO", we win!!!

Gee, SFC Collin McMillion, I don't' think it's an automatic veto. Granted, we are often on different sides of issues with China and Russia, but I think they might (might) be with us on things like ISIS. Russia is a Syrian ally, but it's hard to defend the brutal murders that have been carried out by ISIS.

Terrorist organizations can "get away" with being openly brutal to influence their target audiences. It's more difficult for nation states to behave that way without some sort of repercussion.

With all that said, you do present an interesting idea.

I guess the point I want to make is, that in today's political arena, the ridiculous seems to be the standard. These armchair warriors take vacations during a crisis and make dicisions between the 13th and 14th hole on a golf course.
