abrams as an assistant professor of political science at northeastern university joins us now from boston via skype good to have you with us we've got another day of inaction at the u.n. security council why is russia being so difficult over this vote well its strategic it's not a coincidence this is a pattern where russia has shown for several years no hope for russia has thrown its lot behind the assad government as has. this axis views the war in syria rightly or wrongly as nearly dark there's a real sense that islamic state has been interested in the rebel opposition is a shadow of its former self and one of the few places where that's not true we're there still is a strong rebel stronghold is in good and so russia doesn't want to start it wants to step on the gas in continued barmen doubt euro two a trip of the last remaining you know stronghold of fighters as i recall one syrian opposition group suggesting that russia should be prevented from voting in the security council tool because it is part of this conflict is that something that's possible. i think that that's a misunderstand
