And people actually die because of this.
Not only that, but if I were a non nuclear country banking on US help, I'd be strongly considering a nuclear program right now. Maybe I'm overreacting but this could be the most dangerous, globally destabilizing event in my lifetime. Both the decision of Russia to invade, and the political games in the US resulting in the withholding of aid.
But hey I'm not exactly all that knowledgeable when it comes to geopolitics so I'm probably wrong.
You're not wrong. It's something experts are worried about. For example:

you misspelled Russian trolls.
~~social media users~~ Russian propagandists are claiming
Shills and LLMs
Remind me: How many treaties has Russia broken at this point?
Bold of you to assume that Russia simps care about facts.
Even if it was, that was the USSR, Not Russia. While the rest of the world has generally accepted Russia as taking over the USSR seat as a drop in replacement across the board, Russia has been pulling back from former Soviet agreements that they don't like lately.
The rest of the world should probably do the same across the board. For instance, as a compromise Russia can keep their UN Security Council seat, but they lose their veto. The seat and veto were for the USSR, not Russia.
They should straight up lose their seat, maybe Ukraine gets it lol
Why should they keep their security council seat
