Which is kinda silly to count on since lack of direct attention from the American public has hardly been a hamper on the goings on of US military assistance, if anything not knowing the gritty details will enable the MIC to give Ukraine even more fun toys since now there isn’t a constant check out of fear of escalating.

I wouldn’t accuse the UN of being tankie, but it does have internal rule structures that it has to abide by, including that Russia has a veto to any UN resolution.

Which is likely why the USA might rely on OAS instead to provide the justification for war and use a coalition of American militaries to push Venezuela out. There is massive self interest in the Americas to keep borders frozen and Guyana is a post-colonial nation, so it isn’t like the Falklands.

You misunderstand.

The UN intervened on the side of South Korea after the Soviets walked out of the Security Council in protest… and failed to account for the fact that the council was not only still in session, and that votes taken in their absence would still be valid, but also that they hadn’t vetoed anything, which you need to do explicitly. So, the UNSC voted to help South Korea defend itself against North Korea (and, eventually, Mainland China, which did not at the time have a permanent seat on the UNSC).

The UN was directly involved in the Korean War, and TONS of countries sent forces in support of the mission (though, admittedly, SK themselves and the US did most of the heavy lifting).
