Russia, China Veto Syrian Resolution

BBC News - Russia and China veto resolution on Syria at UN

This comes after Syrian security forces killed an estimated 55 people in the city of Homs.

What is the point of a UN resolution 'condemning' what is going on in Syria?

I have never understood the point of resolutions without action.

Don't get me wrong, I think we should stay out of Syria. I just think the theater of it is stupid.

The resolution called for Assad to step down and also wanted to limit arm sales to the regime. Guess who has a military base and supplies weapons to the Syrian security forces?

Russia and China?

The Russians. They are still supplying weapons to the Syrian forces and have a naval base at Tartus.

Hmm the Russians and the Chinese are doing what's in their best interest. I'm shocked.

Why do we continue to involve ourselves with the UN. That has to be one of the most useless organizations ever created. Not to mention the fact that we waste money financing it.

China and Russia don't trust America.
