...yes, they seem impervious, but that's the best chance right now to bring a quicker resolution to this ugly situation than trying to lob missiles or launch "surgical strikes" that have little real impact in a country that is loaded to the gills in weapons and factions not afraid to use them. The U.S. has little influence inside Syria...unlike an Egypt...and thus the most effective answer is not just the U.S., but all nations, to put pressure on Putin, in specific, to put the screws to Assad to look at finding a nice dasha in Moscow to hang in for the next 40 or so years.
This administration has been reluctant to stand up to Putin...but this isn't just a US issue, it's an international one and thus we shouldn't act unilaterally. If Western Europe joins the U.S. in cutting exports from Russia by 10%, I'm betting you'd see things change and quick.
