We are living in a post Security Council world. Nation states do what they want, regardless of what the world or the Security Council thinks.
We ignored the Russians, and backed the KLA. They ignored the rest of the world and invaded Georgia after we set the precedent in Serbia that it's okay for a third party to break up a sovereign state.
The only fly in the ointment is the question of how important the Syrians are to the Russians. If they really do care, even economic sanctions might anger them.
