Clinton: Russia and China Will 'Pay Price' For Supporting Assad
http://www.rt.com/news/clinton-russia-china-syria-569/
"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Moscow and Beijing must be punished for supporting Assad. Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said the West is operating within a friend-or-foe framework that he called outmoded. Russia said that western powers were purposely distorting the terms of an agreement to push for the removal of Assad..'

Stronger Sanctions Urged By Friends of Syria
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/07/06/syria-defection-assad-top-...
"Canada, the United States and the other members of the 'Friends of Syria' tried to raise pressure Friday on the regime of Bashar Assad with calls for stiffer sanctions. 'All of us must tighten up our sanctions,' Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said. 'Russia is not on the sidelines, it is enabling this regime to soldier on.."
the 'Friends of Syria's sanctions, like their murderous foreign mercenary death squads they arm and insert into Syria, will only inflict further agonies upon the Syrian people..a majority of which support their president.
Baird blames Russia for UN ‘losing its relevance' in Syrian crisis
Putin should be as vicious a toadie as Baird. God help us.
So what's coming next for Syria after regime change occurs?Top Syrian general 'defects to Turkey'
Reported escape of Manaf Tlass, leading member of Bashar al-Assad's inner circle, does not mean anything, official says

Actually, that should read "Baird parrots U.S. SOS Clinton". The Cons have no opinion until and unless they are told to have one by the U.S. I root for Putin, not to say he is an ideal, but at this point at least he's not a lapdog of the U.S.
So where will Assad flee to - Russia?
Yes that's all Baird is, a squawking parrot perched on uncle whiskers' shoulder.
And I hope Putin is not a toadie. Lots of friends of the west in the Kremlin and Moscow apparently. They are no strangers to Russian style gladio themselves. Some real bad bastards there in Spetsnaz and KGB-"FSB." Dirty as you want. "Russian gladio" sounds absurd, I know. But I believe they, too, have been guilty of false flag treachery in the past.
It's obviously over for Assad - just a matter of when. Syria: a long, hard slogThe claim that the government's cohesion is cracking has been made many times before, and after each explosion the structure still stands

Assad won't flee anywhere. Russia may be crafty but it's not stupid. Assad will meet a NATO inspired end in Syria.
Collapsing Legitimacy: If the US Loses Syria, the US Loses its Empire US threatens Russia, China for not supporting campaign of terror in Syria. Instead of sailing with a wind of change, they've chosen to cling to a crumbling empire.omit
