(BEFORE IT'S NEWS) -- Is Barack Obama in his completely insane move of attempting to start World War 3 TRYING to get America and our Navy destroyed? Russia has just sent their most advanced anti-ship missiles to Syria in a clear warning that any attack against Syria will not go unanswered.
The New York Times quotes unnamed US officials as saying the missiles could be used to counter any potential future foreign military intervention in Syria.
The P-800 Oniks Russian П-800 Оникс; English Onyx, also known in export markets as Yakhont, English ruby or sapphire, is a Russian/Soviet supersonic anti-ship cruise missile developed by NPO Mashinostroyeniya as a ramjet version of P-80 Zubr. Its GRAU designation is 3M55. Development reportedly started in 1983, and by 2001 allowed the launch of the missile from land, sea, air and submarine. The missile has the NATO reporting codename SS-N-26. It is reportedly a replacement for the P-270 Moskit, but possibly also for the P-700 Granit. The P-800 was reportedly used as the basis for the joint Russian-Indian supersonic missile the BrahMos.
FYI
Oh great, American Sheffield coming up?
Did obama win the Nobel Peace Prize because he would later start a nuclear war, or because he would destroy the US military capability? (Or both?) Because he must have won it for something he was going to do, not having done anything yet when he won it.
One Exocet and the warhead did not detonate, just the left over fuel.
Huge defense spending cuts ahead. Their rationale will be that America has no will to get further involved against Iran building nukes (what the Syria business is all about). It was as obvious during the Bush Administration as it is now. So why not use the funding for pensioners, government employees, teachers and other federal funding to state and local governments for salaries?
our men do not deserve this, but Obama will cause it to happen
If the CIA could muster some real James Bond types, I think it would be hilarious if one of those Russian missiles was fired from the Syrian coast at a Russian warship.
According to old public news, Russia supplied Iran with those same anti-ship missiles several years ago (along with “most advanced” anti-aircraft missiles).

we have an airforce too.
Russia maintains a Mediterranean naval base on the coast of Syria, though I don’t see this mentioned often in news reports. The idea that our missiles would be flying over this has to make it more personal than our threatening their ally. A boot and scoot operation might have seemed like an option, but the current occupant in our Oval Office should be considering what happens if we get tagged while doing so.
KGB Putin must die and his evil regime must be destroyed.
As I recall the range on these is only 120 to 300 kilometers. I think we can stay out of range. I still think if he attacks it will be B-2s from Missiouri and B-1s out of Qatar. Best way to stay away form radar.
Who knows with these people in charge they may run speed boats with pea shooters.
Sorry on the spelling I hate my phone.
I can’t see Israel sitting on their hands while Iran gets a nuke.
One thing about it, if there is no peace it means obama ain’t the AC.
