The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday that would have called for humanitarian pauses in the conflict between Israel and Palestinian Hamas militants to allow humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.
The purpose of the UN is to prevent global war. The Security Council veto keeps the UN from taking sides in a military conflict against the interests of a county that can maintain that level of warfare.
Oh but its a problem when Russia does it?

Call it a flaw if you want, but it is also probably contributing to no more world wars

No - they’re why the UN exists.

The US would veto via military action if we couldn’t veto by voting. It’s a bad system, but better than going to war (more than we already do).
