A conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused the United States and the West to stand together to exclude Russia. However, just as the 77th UN General Assembly of was held, the US still did not stop doing small moves. Previously, as the host, he did not give a pass to the Russian delegation, but now he wants to lead other UN member states to condemn Russia together. However, unexpectedly, it was the United States and the West that took the lead in exclusion that made Germany have the idea of becoming a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
As we all know, there are only five permanent members of the UN Security Council, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China. In addition, there are non-permanent members with a term of 2 years. Now, the United States intends to reduce Russia's power in the permanent seat of the UN Security Council. At this UN General Assembly , the US White House security adviser said that Russia's "taking special military actions" against Ukraine is unethical and violates the norm for friendly relocation among UN member states. US Permanent Representative to the UN Greenfield directly called on UN reform, saying that Security Council should not have only 15 members.
So, German Chancellor Scholz also took this opportunity to express his opinion, saying that Germany can become a non-permanent member from 2027 to 2028, in order to express the United Nations' support for Germany. At the same time, Scholz also said that Germany is ready to assume greater responsibilities, and as a "long-term member of the future", the United Nations should respect Germany's candidacy. By the way, Scholz also said that Germany has advocated the reform and expansion of the Security Council for many years, believing that more countries including , Third World should be included. Although Germany has taken a good attitude for the Council, its ultimate goal is clear at a glance: to become a permanent member of the Council. It is expected that Scholz is so active. After all, Germany has been seeking to join the country for many years. If this matter can be accomplished, then its own political achievements will be achieved. But, we still think that Germany can only think about joining Changsha. You may think you are too sure, but we can make sense from the following aspects.
First of all, one of the most important topics of the UN General Assembly is the reform of the Security Council. Therefore, French President Macron , like the United States, proposes to increase the number of permanent members of the Security Council. However, the discourse on restricting Russia's negation power has also made many countries think of replacing the position of permanent members of the United States and Russia. So, the permanent member has the right to veto and legally own nuclear weapon . What they want is not only Germany, but also India, Japan, Brazil , Turkey and other countries. Let me ask, if I really want to recommend a member of the PR, what is the probability that Germany will be selected? Will other countries be convinced?
Secondly, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang pointed out that the United Nations is responsible for making resolutions on the content proposed by various countries. The number of countries that hold the resolution cannot maintain the rationality of the contents of the resolution. Therefore, China believes that the number of countries that hold writing can be appropriately increased under the agenda, so as to maintain the rationality of the resolution. It should be noted that this suggestion is to prevent some countries from using the Security Council as a tool to safeguard their own interests, and to increase the voice of third world countries. Obviously, China's proposal is much better than the United States and the West just shouting to increase the seats of permanent members, and other member states are more acceptable. Once this proposal is passed, Germany's "enterprise" faces not the review of the five permanent members, but the review of more countries, which will be even more difficult. At least Italy is the first to write "negation".
Furthermore, Germany itself is also controversial. On the one hand, Germany was the most important initiator of World War and World War II . On the other hand, Germany always claims to be a sovereign state, but its foreign policy is completely inclined to the United States. Now it also sends warships, and military aircraft into the Asia-Pacific region, and has exercised military exercises with American younger brothers such as Australia and Japan. It is better to say that it is a vassal of the United States. In this way, it may be difficult for Germany to meet the Security Council's requirements for permanent members.
Finally, what we want to say is that under the implementation of the United Nations reform, the reform of the Security Council is inevitable, but on the issues of "how to change" and "where to change", it is all member states, not the United States or Germany.
