The United Nations Security Council has just voted on a draft resolution concerning the ongoing violence in Syria.

Of the voting members, Russia and China were the only ones to vote against the draft, but as permanent members of the UNSC they both hold veto power, and the resolution has not been passed as a result.

The news follows days of heated political debates in the UNSC, with many members supporting a Western-backed draft calling for foreign nations to put an end to what some called the “Syrian killing machine.”

Russia and China were the only permanent Security Council members opposing the draft, reminding others that it was not their place to intervene in another country’s domestic affairs.

Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin earlier said any proposals including an arms embargo or a demand for Assad’s resignation would be vetoed.

Russia unites in mass protests

Up to 30,000 people have marched “for fair elections” in Russia’s western city of St. Petersburg. They joined thousands of other pro- and anti-government protesters who marched for free and democratic presidential elections all across the country.

Another victory for Syria.

 

Russia and China have once again stood by their principles on protecting Syria from Western Imperialism. This is the second time Russia and China have cast a double veto against attempts to invade Syria. Great news.

 

 

 

Well done Russia and China. Don’t let the US imperialist take over another country that serves the interest Zionist Israel that seeks to expand. These US/Israeli criminals love to fund anti government programs/protest to topple heads of state and install puppets. That’s what their trying to do with Russia as well.
