Now Putin is drawing the line. Obama better listen.
Video of Maaloula .
A resident of the town speaks at 3:06 of some of the atrocities the rebels that obama wants to side on.
Maaloula, tucked into the honey-coloured cliffs of a mountain range north of Damascus and on a “tentative” list of applicants for Unesco world heritage status, is associated with the earliest days of Christianity.
St Thecla, who is supposedly buried in the convent, was a follower of St Paul who fled to the village in Syria to avoid marriage, having taken an oath of chastity. It is said that the cleft of rock in which the convent is placed opened up to allow her to escape her pursuers.
The inhabitants are mostly Melkite Greek Catholic and Orthodox Christians, but have historically lived peacefully alongside a Sunni Muslim minority. It is one of only three places in the world where Western Aramaic, a dialect of the language spoken by Christ, is still used. -

Putin is playing a game of bet ya won’t knock this block of my shoulder.
And the weenie obammy understands he is in over his head.
The punk
You realize that RT is a propaganda organ funded by the Russian government and founded by Vlad’s press secretary.
I suspect Russian troops will be arriving in Syria en masse before too long.
Then what, Barry?
Oops, didn’t think about that, did you?
Not to worry. Obama’s homo brigades will volunteer to fight Putin’s army.
Community Organizers don’t make good leaders. This confrontation needs to be put off until the U.S. has a REAL Commander-in-Chief.
Well, that’s settled. Obama won’t be attacking Syria now.
And he has “Those Obstructionist Republicans in Congress!”, and “Those Obstructionist Russians in the U.N.!” to blame.
So will Obama demand women be drafted for his world war?
New Cold War starting all over again.. and sadly, in my opinion, we are on the wrong side :/
The Russians will have the following warships/combatants in the Eastern Mediterranean capable of engaging the US/French vessels there:
1 x Slava Cruiser CG
2 x Udaloy Destroyers
1 x Neustrminy Frigate DDGs
1 x Kravak Firgate FFG
2 x Nuclear Submarines (possible) SSNs
That’s seven vessels capable of modern engagements.
The US and France will have the following in the area:
1 x Charles de Gaulle nuclear carrier CVN
1 x French Horizon Class anti-air destroyer DDG
5 x US Burke Class AEGIS destroyers DDG
1 x Geroge Lyenus DDG
1 x FREMM FFG
1 x Lafayette DDG
1 x Rubis nulcear attack submarine SSN
2 x US Nuclear attack submarines (possible) SSN
1 x Ohio Class guided missile sub SSGN (Possible)
That’s 14 vessels very capable vessels and their aircraft.
In addition, the Italians have two destroyers and a firgate in the area and the UK has a destroyer, two frigate and perhaps another nuclear attack submarine in the area. Even though they will not take part in the Syrian attack, if it came down to fighting with Russia, because of the NATO alliance, those vessels would help the US/French. That adds another seven vessels.
In fact, one of the destroyers, the frigates and sub are already conducting rigorous anti-submarine “exercises” in the area.
The US has a major air base in Italy and major bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. The US also has two complete nuclear carrier battle groups with a total of 2 nuclear carriers and their aircraft, 2 cruisers, 6 destroyers and 2 nuclear attack submarines in the Red Sae and the Arabian Sea. That’s another 12 very capable vessels and a LOT of aircraft.
The Russian forces in the area will not enage these forces, or militarily try and shoot down their missiles and thus make themselves military targets, unless something else very bad happens above and beyond the Tomahawk missile strikes aimed at Syria.
The talk to the contrary ois:
1) Rhetoric and bluster.
2) Potentially aimed at letting the US know that it is going to give new weapons to the Syrains to help them “resist.” But that is a dangerous game because that vessel has not left the Black Sea yet and if it ventures in with combat weapons for the Syrians during the attack, it will make it self a target, and at the very least make the dock a target where they attempt to offload the weapons.
And even if they did successfully offlaod them, the Syrians will be weeks (if not months) in intergrating them into their own defenses...so they would do little good in the current strike.
Now, I hope the US House vote downs this “strike.” it is senseless and is purely political on the part of an abjectly failed administration. There are no US interests that will be positively effected by the proposed strike. There is only down side.
After we bomb Syria lets show um we’re the big global cop on the block and bomb North Korea too!
U.S.Global Police Department....
And if we really were to become involved in a wider war in the Middle East--perhaps even WWIII, as some have suggested--it begs the question: Is our current Commander-in-Chief up to the task of spearheading such an enormous conflict? (It seems like an especially pertinent question, given the degree to which he has already hollowed out the American military.)
These jerks just use any group that will curry them favor, they do not care about deaths unless they can use them to mobilize the living for their own personal advantage...period. They really do not care if WWIII starts as long as they have a security net ready for themselves.
I was reading this thread and stared thinking....always dangerous.
(BTW....what follows is not meant as a thread hijack, just my thoughts about what I’m seeing. If you view this as a hijack, I do apologize. That having been said....)
I can just see Obama and his over-stuffed ego wanting to ‘make a statement’ that he is one who ‘doesn’t back down’ from what he wants. Now that Russia has said just what they’re going to do if Syria is attacked, I can imagine that our no-nothing, “I’m doing it MY way” (p)res__ent will ignore the blatant warning he just got and attempt an attack on Syria anyway.
Biblical scholars have often wondered why the United States isn’t ever mentioned in end-times prophecy. I offer this:
Could it be that the reason we’re not mentioned is that the US DOES NOT EXIST in that time because we’ve been blown off the map in a thermonuclear war?
Given our nation’s increasing proclivity for embracing evil (abortion, divorce, gay marriage, sexual promiscuity, etc. ad nauseum), might it not be that God’s justice might be shown by causing the utter destruction of the United States?
I am by NO means saying that I want this. I’d like to die peacefully, old and full of years , not trembling in terror as inbound Russian ballistic missiles are about to vaporize myself and my family. I AM saying that this may be a possibility. Remote, but it’s there.
Now what Obozo?
Putty’s just trying to face down Bathhouse Barry.
It’s undoubtedly working.
