Those are not qualifications for world leadership. Even if they were, Putin has not met his own qualifications for a legal war. Since he and his country are engaged in an illegal war, they should be removed from the Security Council.

They are qualifications for taking over the position of the USSR which member nations approved of at the time.

Under the illegal war logic most permanent members of the security council should be renoved.

None of the other Security Council members have both problems though. You do not get to be a leader based on a technicality. You have to display leadership.

Russia can't even lead their own troops in their own country. They just had unfriendly tanks outside Moscow and Putin had to run away. How can they claim international leadership?
