“To get to the other side?”
Bashar is running out of cannon fodder.
1. Because Obama tried to help the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow Assad.
2. Because Assad is the lesser evil compared to the Muslim Brotherhood.
3. Because doing so will increase Russia's power and influence in the Middle East.
4. Because when Assad finally goes (natural causes, or whatever...), Russia will be in a position to choose his successor.
5. Because Obama will not oppose them.
6. Because "Why not"?
Ultimately to secure a warm water port.
This Revelations stuff is looking a lot more plausible nowadays, isn't it?
Russia is at least seemingly defending Christians, Obama is not...
As Much as i hate Putin, I hate Obama more.
May God Help Putin save the persecuted Christians in Syria.
Because some white people still know how to kill bad guys.
To fight Obama’s ISIS?
To fight Obama’s ISIS?
That’s really great news!
Finally, Russia is taking steps to support their friends!
(No sarcasm intended or implied)
BTW, is Obama through screwing around in Alaska?
Knucklehead.
Because of Arab Spring enablers, financiers and Bilderberg type theology worshipers. Goldman Sachs gives a hefty wad of cash too.
There are mixed signals on these actions, the days to come will tell.
This is the Middle East. There are no good guys, only lesser bad guys. The only “rebels” left in Syria facing Assad are Al Qaeda and Isis.Thus, Assad becomes the lesser bad guy by default.Abrams is suggesting there are moderate rebels to support. There are none left. The fifty that were left and Mr Obama spent a half billion training to make it look like he was doing something got killed as soon as they were let loose in the field or ran away. I therefore have no no problem with the Russians supporting the lesser evil.
I can imagine how Putin will react when we see the first Russian aviator in an ISIS steel cage ....
Assad's repression of Syria's Kurdish minority was obviously* why those dastardly Kurds attacked us on 9/11.
* Why do these foreign policy analysts say these laugh-inducing things? While I understand it's nice to play chess with flesh-and-blood pieces, it would be nice if they'd come up with hobbies that don't cost American taxpayers thousands of dollars each (Operation Iraqi Freedom).
The Obama/McCain/Hillary Roman Senate plan to conquer Assad with terrorists and rebels has failed miserably. Iraq is devastated, Turkey is being drawn in and terrorist within Syria and Iraq have acquired WMD capabilities. Complete utter failure. To stop the bleeding, the Roman Senate is forcing an alliance with Iran in the east, and letting Russia into the theater to fight ISIS in the west. Have you heard anyone at State complain about this Russian involvement ?
Already sent 6 MiG 31s; 1000 Kornet missiles brought in by Condors; large number of logistical troops (aka expeditionary forces) are building mil base in the Jablah district of Lattakia province, Syria; US pulled Patriot missiles out of Turkey to ensure no accidental shoot downs of MiGs. Regular Russian combat forces (ground, air) to follow on with US approval.
Didn’t Nostradamus make a prediction about a Bear from the North arriving in the Middle East with a large arm? And then a dragon from the East with another army?
