I agree. 55 countries, 25% of the world's population. They definitely deserve a permanent membership.

Well, they better woo them because Putin was there last month trying to do it! The world doesn't need a psychotic Africa.

Yeah. While I'm disgusted by the Kremlin and CCP, I hope their efforts to undermine neocolonialism are effective in some ways. Especially reigning in transnational corporations.
