World War 3: Syria has new Defense Minister. Russia & China block UN sanctions against Syria.

“This vote should never have taken place at all!”-Vitaly Churkin, Russian ambassador to the United Nations

19 July 2012, Russia and China vetoed the latest UN Security Council resolution, on the grounds that it is totally one sided.  It is the third time the two countries blocked a UNSC resolution against Syria.

Also today, the Syrian government announced a new Defense Minister, replacing the general killed on 18 July.
