    ((quick primer on the UN: The UN is the collective vote of all member states (doesn't have powers of it's own), only combined action in the Security Council and General Assembly could lead to the EU losing their French permanent eat. And remember that they can veto it... Of course if all except the EU decide the EU has crossed the line too far, then of course it's easy for them all to leave and set up a new united nations without France in the security council. Whilst technically not legal it is an option. Still a vote in the General Assembly might be able to over-rule the security council on certain issues, such as membership...if somehow successful. (officially it cannot, but in the past it has succeeded once or twice) ))

    @Indonesia: The EU has just dismantled it's own nuclear arsenal...even if be it by dropping it on Ukraine. (just a minor note I found amusing)
