If Syria uses chemical weapons its likely that it would be a nato response as opposed to a UN response.

Would Russia be stupid enough to still veto if Syria actually launches some of these weapons? Lets hope there's enough humanity in the Russian government that they wouldn't.
Then again, these are the same people that have stonewalled UN efforts and let 30k+ people die already.
