Related: About this forumStill a No! Russia thumbs down new Syria resolution draft
Moscow says it cannot support the new draft resolution on Syria. Although the text has been softened to overcome some of Russia's objections, it still falls short of addressing Moscow's main concerns. RT's Marina Portnaya in New York.
Marcus Papadopoulos, editor of Politics First magazine, believes the US is still committed to seeing power in new hands in Damascus.

(1,688 posts)2. Russia should learn
from what happened in Libya and not let any resolution whatsoever to pass. Anyone still remember how an innocuous No Fly zone to protect civilians turned into a bomb the shit out of Libya to depose Gaddafi . Give these people 1 inch and they would take a mile. Oppose any kind of foreign intervention and stick to it.
