They are qualifications for taking over the position of the USSR which member nations approved of at the time.

Under the illegal war logic most permanent members of the security council should be renoved.

None of the other Security Council members have both problems though. You do not get to be a leader based on a technicality. You have to display leadership.

Russia can't even lead their own troops in their own country. They just had unfriendly tanks outside Moscow and Putin had to run away. How can they claim international leadership?
