so stupid that France is a permanent member.

It's stupid that the UN has an extra special boys club with power to block any meaningful progress in the first place

France being a permanent member is one of Stalin's achievement, because he thought that France might turn socialist or Eastern Bloc friendly post war.

USSR maintained this diplomatic support as the Algerian War raged on

Nowaday, France having nukes and an extensive Penal battalion in west Africa probably helps
