There's no "dropping it at Russia's feet." That's how it is in reality. Look at them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia's_role_in_the_Syrian_civil_war
Russia is actively preventing the UN from doing anything, even when the Arab League is on board, even when the rest of the Security Council states are on board, etc. It's almost completely Russia's fault that stuff is going down. Nevermind that Russia is actively selling heavy weapons to Syria. When the UK was selling weapons to Gaddafi we weren't supportive of it. Yet somehow Russia keeps getting pass after pass. Russia won't even allow the UN to condemn the excessive force against civilian populations. Not do anything, simply condemn, as a gesture!
Backing down for Obama is so easy it's a joke. And I'm afraid he won't do it.
As far as not being insulting, I've been quite civilized. Given your PM exchange with me and how you basically trashed talked me in private, as well as in public, I have no reason to believe that you are genuine here. Actions speak louder than words. You posted to another poster that snark gets your threads seen here, I agree with that, completely, starting threads is impossible. But snark can end as soon as you're in a subthread because we have "My Posts" and we can read one anothers' exchanges.
