See, a blockade is something I can see the Russians and Chinese never agreeing to. They will likely force any resolution to have such mild language that it'll be completely ineffective. So how can a UN peacekeeping mission be successful in stopping the killing when the Russians and the Chinese will continue to provide arms and find ways to provide arms to whomever they please?

UN is broken, but I'm not sure what other solution will work either.
