I think we are actively orchestrating a scenario whereby Russia will move large numbers of troops into Syria (under the disguise of chem weapons police) and look like heroes for doing it. this will cement Assad's hold on the country , allow Russia to gain huge influence in the Arab world , prevent us from ever making a strike on Syria because we can't risk any possible casualties on Russian "observers". Good old B. Hussein Obama is giving away the whole show to save face.

There already are a lot of Russians in Syria, they have a big navy base there.

Putting Russian boots on the ground throughout the country is highly unlikely. First off any UN action won't be led by an individual country and perhaps more importantly they would be a magnet for radicals...think Russia wants to create another Afghanistan?
