Nope. Under Chapter VII, Russia can vote in this matter but Russia must abstain from Chapter VI, which any purely symbolic resolution will fall under. If the UNSC decides to take actions against Russia, that's where Russia can veto it.

Yeah... which is why it's so strange that NOBODY IN THE UN SEEMS TO KNOW THAT.
No. It's just you. Your right... despite the fact that nobody in the UN from any country seems to know that.
No it's not possible you just don't understand the rule.

Chapter VI is nonbinding and pointless which is why Russia can't vote on it but it is a way for the SC to move without Russia. If McCain is calling for things covered in Chapter VII, well then it's pointless, too. But hey, Obama is just some dumb hick who doesn't understand how anything works, right? He just got incredibly lucky.

Your also ignoring the Russia's veto. Your missing the point. Chapter 7 AND the Veto both make any georgian resolution impossible.
Otherwise why hasn't one passed?

I just said in Chapter VI, the SC doesn't need Russia's vote but Chapter VI is somewhat pointless. That's why Chapter is nore tooth and nails and Russia can veto anything there. However, neither McCain or Obama wanted to take serious actions.
Oh, I don't know, how about the fact that other nations in the SC might not feel the same way as Obama or McCain and both statements made by them were just "talk"?
