And Russia having to be responsible for removing them is the icing on the cake.

Nah, it looks like this is going to the UN, which makes the idea of Putin doing all this to get Obama off the hook even less credible. Why put yourself in the position of having to veto a UN Resolution ordering your client state to disarm if you don’t have to? Worse, if that Resolution passes, and Syria balks at having UN inspectors running around in 6-12 months time, Putin now has to decide whether he continues to support Syria in defiance of the Resolution or if he allows us to go ahead with strikes that are now in the name of ensuring Syria’s compliance with disarmament.
