Russian offers troops to help remove Syria chemical arms

Russia can send its military personnel to help in the proposed operation to eliminate Syria's chemical arms, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says.

Mr Lavrov told Russian TV that military observers could help Syria destroy its stockpiles under a US-Russian deal.

He also accused the US of using "blackmail" over a UN resolution.

The international chemical weapons watchdog, the OPCW, says Syria has met the deadline to submit details of its estimated 1,000-tonne chemical arsenal.

How will the U.N. know that what Syria claims are the totality of their chemical weapons is really all they have?

Russia is saying that they can send their military to eliminate chemical weapons in Syria. Good. Go Ahead Mr. Lavrov!

After all, the Russians are the ones that gave monster Bashar Al-Assad all of their PROHIBITED chemical weapons with which they have slaughtered and gassed thousands of Syrian children.

Good Job, Mr. Lavrov!
