I don’t think that’s a good career move.
The Rebels might not like a Russian solution to the rebel areas near the naval base.
It has been posted that the WMD in Iraq were moved by the Russians into Syria,if not directly by the Russians, then under their guidance and control. It was also posted that the ownership was by the Russians because Saddam had not paid for them yet.
It seems a reasonable thought that the Russians never relinquished control and have in fact maintained that control in Syria.
Conclusion..... the WMD are now at the Russian naval base
Oh right that will go well do they have footage of Georgia
Good luck with all that.
I’ll bet Zippo is swatting a lot of flies over this. He’s between Barack and a hard place. He wants the Brother(s)hood to win, but he loves kissing Russian ass.
LOL! I agree with the rebels - now go attack Russians!
Yes, they are terrorists. The rebels and the Assad government both.
By this time, the rebels have been joined by all the terrorists in the world who can get there. Assad has been joined by Russia (although not really terrorists as of yet) and Iran.
GO RUSSIA GO!
Now if they will only hit Iran too.
That is probably what the Russians are provoking.
Take a look at a map. Tartous Naval base is "just up the street" from Isral. Only 140 miles.
If the Russians want to prevent a successful attack on Iran's nuke facilities at Natanz it can sit right there and monitor every aircraft and radio transmission from that base.
If a suspicious flight takes off in Israel and starts a potential route that could lead to Iran the Russians can immediately detect it.
A north route will take them right by the Tartous base.
A central or southern route could be tracked as well, long enough to determine the likely destination (Iran). The shorter southern route will probably be off the table, given the current "nature" of our present administration.
A launch of Israel Jericho III land-based long range ballistic missiles would be immediately detected as well.
An attack on Tartous would play right into the Russians hands. They rekindled their effort to upgrade the base in 2009, about the same time the Iran nuclear threat became valid. Such an attack would provide them the "defense" excuse in that theater to do anything they like.

yea attacking the Russian worked so well for the Chechans too.
These rebels are idiots just like in Libya, and we have our Govt dfending and helping them .

There are two countries that you do not want to mess with, Russia is one of them and China is the other. Both these nations will think of nothing to attack, even if it means losing over a million troops in the process.
That’s a good idea. They should refuse to listen to the diplomats of the world (who work only for their favored, multi-partisan, globalist constituents) and do it.
That would be pretty funny.
