Is it really a shock that an institution designed largely by Stalin (although FDR's idea) isn't fit for purpose? Time to hit restart, and perhaps not to include the autocracies and miscreants.
It was an evolution of the league of nations actually.
Considering that during the last 77 years none of the 30 biggest economies in the world fought each other (I think there are minor exceptions like Argentina-Britain over Falklands/Malvinas), I think UN isn't that bad.

And who gets to decide who those are? Also, what is the purpose of a club that doesn't include all the nations? It's just an alliance.
A very big alliance beats a nothing burger - and remember that the United Nations did exclude Germany and Japan in the beginning, for obvious reasons. It was originally the instantiation of an alliance.
Iraq and Iran were not top 30 economies when they fought the war.
Go find a graph of war deaths divided by world population by year for the last two hundred years and make the comparison yourself.
