Russia vetoes UN Syrian resolution

[SoCalNative]

what a surprise!

Russia vetoed a UN resolution Wednesday that would have required Syria to cooperate with investigators and face full accountability after a brutal chemical attack in that country.

It's the eighth time Russia has vetoed a proposed Security Council resolution on Syria.

The resolution, crafted by the United States, United Kingdom and France, was circulated to the 15 member countries of the Security Council on Tuesday.

Western ambassadors blasted Russia earlier Wednesday for continuing to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after his alleged use of sarin on a rebel-held area of his country.

1. Good.

I support that veto.

2. Why?

I mean, I realize the US administration's position on Syria is most likely full of shit and the "airstrikes" were a complete farce, but still, the resolution had multi-national support.

Why exactly are you glad that Russia vetoed it?

3. So, you don't believe

that Syria should cooperate fully with investigators and face full accountability for the chemical attack on their own citizens?

4. I personally I don't think the Syrian Govt or Assad

Had anything to do with the sarin.

6. And your theory is?

For who dropped nerve gas bombs on Syrian rebels when the only planes in the area were Russian & Syrian?
