Even worse, one of those two votes is often enough to kill the entire thing, because they have unilateral “it has to be unanimous” or “this one specific country can overrule everyone else” rules on the important shit.
You do understand why that is, right? It's because it's not meant to be a government, so pacts that won't be enforceable without certain countries are capable of being denied by said countries for the most part. Because it's diplomacy, not a government . Nothing stops the "yes" voting countries from making pacts with each other to go with the resolutions as well. Not doing that when usa votes no should show you something about their actual thoughts
