Russia and China must hang their collective heads in shame after the use of their veto at the United Nations Security Council. The proposed resolution called for a peaceful transition of power and and end to the abysmal violence that the Syrian regime employs to subdue its own, the veto was a licence to kill.
If the thinking inside the Russian and Chinese Foreign Ministries continues as in bygone days where one Soviet diplomat quipped " Casting the veto is like adultery; you worry about it the first time, but after that it's fun"then we are heading for a collision of great magnitude . These are real people who are daily being massacred not some whimsical game to be played at will to pass time.
At least the regular defections from the Army are continuing with more senior officers joining with the people. That gives us hope that this is a regime in its final days.
Let's pray the Russians and Chinese find their moral compass before more people have to needlessly die.
