And then Assad feels free to spout off about rocket Tel Aviv.

In a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, Assad said: "If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv."

Well, that covers it.  Of course, one would not expect Israel to do anything half-assed.

Russia and China are unwilling to invest money and manpower in the Middle East . What they are doing is sitting back while the U.S. and other Western partners do so , hoping to step in and pick up all the marbles when the situation goes south . Their non-participation in peaceful solutions is more productive for their agenda than spending billions to counter ours . They see very clearly that they can win simply by doing nothing while at the same time assuring tyrants like Assad that they will back him in the future .

And the very nature of the UN and internation relations helps insure their low-budget approach is effective.  Plus, they get to sell all the arms they can to these bad actors and use the cash to further solidify their Thugocracies at home.

Nice, huh?

And we have Mr.Reset dancing to their tune!
