Russia said on Friday that the West was stoking the conflict in Syria by sending weapons to the opponents of President Bashar Assad.

"The UN council is not a tool for intervention in internal affairs and is not the agency to decide which government is to be next in one country or another," Ryabkov said. "If our foreign partners don't understand that, we will have to use drastic measures to return them to real grounds."

Whatever the West is doing is not directly affecting Syria. It was bound to happen where one country was going to intervene or help somehow in some way. Honestly do not think a war would break out over this. Other countries do not have the resources or the power in this economy to even try to help out. Also, a lot of people seem to think China is just going to run to Russia aid on anything that will happen which is not true. They have their own countries problems that they have to sort out before even trying to involve someone else's war (although the West is doing the complete opposite). I just do not see a war breaking out over this. I think it is more of Russia trying to stroke its ego.

Basing this off what? China teaming up with those 2 countries?
America and other countries have just as many nukes to take out those 3 listed countries

Exactly, which completely negates your above statement

The regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria is expecting up to 15,000 Iranian troops to help maintain order in the country’s provinces, a Chinese newspaper reports. Iran has yet to confirm or deny the news.

According to the central Chinese daily Renmin Ribao, the Iranian special task troops are due to be deployed in Syria’s key provinces.
