    Russia vetoes UN resolution on Syria

    Russia vetoed a UN resolution condemning the killings, believed to have been carried out with sarin gas, and calling on Moscow ally Syria to cooperate with an international investigation of events on the ground.

    It was the eighth Russian veto of a resolution on Syria throughout the course of its civil war.

    What did we really expect from Russia?  I suppose the ball is in Trump's court.

    The UN at it's best?  The only good thing about this vote is that China abstained. A big win for the US.

     “We hold these truths to be self-evident,”  former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

    Yea, China chose not to vote on a resolution condemning the murder of women and children with poison gas.
    We really racked up a yuge win on that one. 
    Bigly.
    Watch out, I'm getting tired of winning. 

    We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
