What about countries that 'pay lip service' to the UN and not their dues and do not adhere to, or choose to veto resolutions?

Countries that do not pay their dues should not have a veto. The USA does not pay its dues but actively uses its veto and doesn't adhere to resolutions and by backing and funding Israel allows them to ignore resolutions.
If the UN isn't changed immediately to reflect this changing world and with some hope of enforcement; It may become a charity to rebuild after the USA destruction.
