The UN security council is expected to seek a fresh resolution on Syria after Russia and China on Tuesday night vetoed a draft that threatened sanctions, a security council source said.
The veto by Russia, which was supported by China, provoked the biggest verbal explosion from the US at the UN for years, with its ambassador Susan Rice expressing “outrage” over the move by Moscow and Beijing. Rice also walked out of the security council, the first such demonstration in recent years. While walkouts are common at the UN general assembly, they are rare in the security council.
The US, France and Britain are planning to bring a new resolution at the first opportunity.
The security council source said that similar vetoes in the past had killed off attempts to intervene in crises ranging from Zimbabwe to Georgia, but this time it was different.

The plan to do this has been in place for years. Just wait, after Syria it will be Jordan and Lebanon, then Iran. They don’t care whether their justifications hold water or not, they are rich spoiled bastards who will not stop at anything to get what they want. Hope God keeps hell hot for the people behind all this.
