On Thursday, the U.N. Security Council held a vote on a resolution that would extend the life of a panel that was investigating the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The purpose was to find out who was responsible for the attacks, but as of Friday, the panel is no more. Russia's veto vote killed the resolution, which has angered many who voted for it, including the United States. Russia has used its veto vote 10 times to cover up for Syria in the past, and the latest use calls into question the Russian government might have had in the attacks The Russians thought the panel was biased against them and the Syrian government, and thought the panel was influenced too much by the western world. This act calls into question what kind of role the Russians played in the recent chemical attacks.
