This is such good news, these warmongers clear agenda has nothing to do with peace and sanctions are merely a gradual stepping stone towards another full blown takeover like we've seen in Libya.

Regime change at all cost's is the name of the game with a puppet democracy soon to be imposed disenfranchising it's citizens and doing the west's bidding. If the UN still goes into Syria regardless of this veto it will only show more blatantly to the world that they only support democracy when it's supports their aims.

It's fine for Palestine to go through endless meaningless negotiations, why are heavy handed reactionary measures so necessary in Syria?
