The USA has no business in Syria. There is nothing to be gained from ANY involvement in the Middle East any longer. Nothing coming out of there but broken soldiers and a whole lot of permanent hate against the USA.
Stupid freaking Americans keep letting our Government just do whatever the F they want to do. Makes me ill.

And that is Russia's red line and rightfully so IMO. We would do well to step back on this one and let the UN do its job. Wrabbit made a good point too - only 3 more countries to go and we have successfully painted the world red, white, and blue (or have gotten the primer on and paint purchased in any case).
Russia is awfully patient and careful with their comments. I get the sense the Russian government is taking the same approach one takes with positive guidance of a spoiled child. Its demeaning they even have to keep repeating the same thing.

You're right, Russia is showing remarkable restraint in it's rhetoric towards the west. So long as the US does not misinterpret this as a sign that Russia would be reluctant to respond to any US lead attack on Syria, after all, Putin does not seem to be the type who would balk at using the military forces at his disposal.

Kind of a ballsy / bold statement from Iran when the UN has not even gotten on the ground in Syria to investigate the claim.

This statment came after The US rejected the UN inspectors investigation. The US say its to late to investigate now.

If US goes to Syria, Iran will have no choice but to help Syria. They have an agreement. With Iranian forces in Syria, Israel will have an opportunity to attack Iran since 2013 was the red line for Israel. With 5 nations fighting on their border, Turkey will have no choice and will get involved. In the matter of months, most of the EU countries and US (NATO) and Iran, Turkey, Syria and Israel will be at war.
I think that Iran is just trying to warn US. No one will win.

The UN inspection team has not even arrived on the ground for the latest chemical weapons claim. Aside from this most recent incident, there have been 2 or 3 others.

So lets get this straight we have
US, UK, France, Israel and Turkey who most likely agree with military intervention
v
Russia, China, Iran, Iraq who oppose any military intervention
I have a feeling Russia might back off, China again I don;t see any action from them, Iraq i practically war torn so it comes down to Iran in the meantime Israel she want to hang Iran.
Its a mess all this.

Russia is not going to risk its nation over defending Syria.
