Russia has turned away from support of Assad, you are way out of date. Syria has turned into a PR nightmare for the Russians, they will assist Assad only for the purpose that he step down from power.
We don't have the physical means to stop Assad, but we have told him there will be a price to pay should he chose to do it. I am sure that we have privately cleared military intervention with Russia, Turkey and Israel, and probably with Jordan and Iraq. Israel in particular is anxious that chemical munitions not fall into the hands of Hezbollah.
There are several technical reasons why air strikes against the storage areas is ill advised, it has nothing to do with Russia. The bombing of chemical stockpiles is the reason so many of our soldiers came down with "Gulf War Syndrome" after the first gulf war. Bombs gives no assurance that 100% of the munitions are destroyed.

Are we now the police force and welfare program for the whole world? Give us a break. It's time to let most of those countries like Syria and Iraq and Iran settle their own problems. Maybe if the Shiites or Sunnis kill off all of their opposition things would settle down in Iraq and Iran for instance.
