If we act contrary to the UNSC permanent veto holding members then who is to say they won't do the same sometime in the future when we try to use our veto?
Well, they can act on their own; our veto only applies to the UN taking collective action. Every country still can take whatever action it deems fit on its own as a sovereign entity.
