Russia and China have shown they don't want peace in Syria until Assad has complete control. Both Russia and China have repeatedly blocked UN resolutions over Syria for the last 6 years. Russia has said they don't want another Libya to happen, and they fear that is exactly what will happen if the US intervenes militarily, which is why the UN authorizing military intervention is something that will absolutely not happen under the watch of Russia or China.
Getting international support for use of military force at the UN level is the same as getting Democratic and Republican support for use of military force at the national level. It's how we got an international coalition and an UN resolution to kick Saddam out of Kuwait.

If you have such a hard on to risk other US lives in combat in Syria then you shouldn't have any qualms about risking your own life in combat in Syria. It will give you a chance to meet your maker so you should be chomping at the bit for the opportunity.
