As a result, the UN simply weakened its members and exposed them to the threat from the Steelmen, who possess chemical weapons.

But this is precisely the wrong conclusion. If someone uses a despicable, prohibited tactic, there is no need to wish to use the same tactic and become like them.

Chemical weapons are one thing; if a country doesn't have chemical weapons at all, then the resolutions don't contradict each other.

The problem isn't with the Security Council; the problem is that they are not pacifists in reality.
