USA, Russia, and China are all “world superpowers” designation with Veto power in the UN, which they have all used to accomplish various goals such as:

• USA vetoing a resolution punishing Israel unless they accept a ceasefire without return of hostages, because they supported Israel militarily as a permanent foothold in the region, as other allies in the past have fallen to extremist regimes.

• China vetoing a resolution that punishes Israel unless they accept a ceasefire with return of hostages, the only one the USA was willing to agree to, because they wanted the USA to look bad and it helped their favored candidate Donald Trump in the election.
