There's an important vote at the UN in New York today and, somewhat unsurprisingly, my view on it is not shared by US Ambassador Bolton.
He seems to think that having Venezuela on the Security Council will not be helpful. I, on the other hand, think it would be rather amusing. The US wants Guatemala to be chosen to replace Argentina. Ambassador Bolton was quoted as saying: "in 1990 and 1991, when Cuba was on the Security Council, it was extremely unhelpful and uncooperative at a time of great pressure". I think he means they wouldn't do what the US wanted (and vote for GulfWarI).
We should know later today.
