#2 The big news is that France, with thousands of troops deployed in Lebanon, now supports a tribunal created with Chapter 7 enforcement powers. A Russian veto would upset the two major EU powers with permanent UNSC seats.

#3 mrp - the Russkies must be shaking in their boots at the thought of France and Britain being mad. I wouldn't be surprised to see both Russia and China veto it if there's a chance that it will pass. Anything to be obstructionists.

#4 Spot - Perhaps the Kremlin will order a veto, but the cost of Russian ME obstructionism will increase with a united British-French-US front.

#5 This is something important to KSA, does Vlad really piss off the Saudis at this point? Is he really willing to stake that much on alliance with Syria and Iran?
