Hi, Raoul!

Good point there.

I remember studying about the Korean War, which was fought by the UN on the side of the Koreans not allied with the USSR or the Chinese. Seems the USSR walked out of discussions about the war in Korea in protest over their tone, which was not complimentary toward their foreign policy. After the Russian rep left, the US and its friends took advantage of their absence to pass a resolution to send armed assistence to the resistors. After that, the Soviets made sure they maintained a presence in all discussions concerning their interests or their behavior.
