"The United Kingdom is appalled by the decision of Russia and China aimed at ending the bloodshed in Syria"
Comments
The USA has not the slightest intention of interfering in Syria. Britain cannot do anything It is good at blah blah, nothing else
Military action would lead to another Afghanistan ten times over with all its complications.
So the attitude of Russia and China suits the USA. For show the USA make a big thing of it building hatred for the future.
But that is international politics.
China and Russia usually veto UN resolutions aimed at Syria - The USA and the UK usually veto UN resolutions aimed at Israel.
That is UN politics, unfortunately, as it means countries like Syria and Israel and then able to behve in appalling ways without international accountability for their actions.
