When the Russian ambassador to the UN criticized the US, UK and France for a limited strike in Syria for their use of illegal chemical weapons, Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the UN, did respond by pointing out that Russia invaded Ukraine and are occupying the Crimea and eastern Ukraine, which is forbidden by the UN charter. They objected to the sanctions placed for their illegal act and now they are upset when President al Assad is spanked for using chemical warfare against his own people???
I think they need to reconsider where they stand in the world order. Either they are for maintaining the UN standards and requirements or they oppose them wholeheartedly!
Ambassador needs to step up and remind Russia exactly where they are on the whole issue of obeying the UN. In this instance we can stick it to them hard and fast if the ambassador is up to the job!
