#4 BTW, Russia is hinting they WILL veto Kosovo independence. I think they decide vetoing two resolutions, at the same time they are refusing to extradite lugovoi, and making a huge stink about the missile defense thing, would make them lose whatever soft power they have left. They decided to prioritize, and decided the Balkans and eastern euro are more important to them than Leb and Syria.

#5 and yeah, while i dont think this res is pointless, its probably not their last chance to help Syria try to block its implementation.
