Ukraine: A Furrowing of the Brow.

I have two questions regarding the current situation in Ukraine:

1. I presume the Russian military chiefs are real people with a modicum of intelligence and the capacity for finer feelings. If that is the case, why is it that when the President goes too far and orders them to invade a smaller and weaker neighbour without provocation, they don’t just say no?

2. How does Russia manage to remain one of the five privileged members of the UN Security Council when its behaviour flies in the face of everything the United Nations is supposed to stand for (and against which the Security Council is supposed to safeguard)?
