>The United Nations Security Council has proven once again to be useless. This line makes me significantly question the author's competence (as if knowing he was the author of The End of History before going into it didn't already negatively color my expectations). Russia has a permanent veto on the security council, of course it's going to be useless. Anything that goes against the interests of one of the veto members will always get vetoed and he's acting like this is some kind of surprising disappointment. Also MiGs somehow wouldn't help stop artillery and rockets? Has the man never heard of bombs? Mind you I don't think NATO should get involved, but supplying more jets and missiles to bomb Russian artillery positions would absolutely help.
