Russia denied Friday it had placed its advanced S-400 missile defense system in Syria, the Russian news agency Tass reported. While Moscow has deployed a lot of military equipment to Syria since it began airstrikes at the start of October, the S-400 being deployed would demonstrate a change in Russia’s defense plans in the country.
The S-400 is designed to intercept advanced missiles and aircraft. Russia claims its targets in Syria are the Islamic State group and Syrian rebels, neither of which are in possession of aircraft or missiles. The only threat to Russian dominance in the region is the U.S., which is continuing to conduct airstrikes against ISIS alongside Moscow’s warplanes.

The Christ persecuters were the Jews. The Romans had no dog in that fight... Pilate washed his hands.
It kind of seems as though they have made some sort of a fuel breakthrough as well. Their nuke torpedo is said to have a range of 6,500 miles, at a speed of over 100 mph.
Probably, that's why I tagged this agitprop as preemptive.
Certainly the S300 is fully deployed and some installations may be manned by Russians. They could also easily use the S350.
So, my hard earned tax money funded Russian roads and bridges too. I wonder what that cost. The Russians won't keep up those roads and tunnels, if their past record is any indication, and it will all be moot. Of couse, with their winters, most roads would be closed anyway.
None of the middle eastern countries are our friends except the KSA.
OUR Amerian petroleum engineers (and gas engineers since 1980) have been over there, living and working, since the 1920's. No deals were written down...all done on a handshake. That was then.
1. Yes, they were.
2. Yes, he did.
3. I WAS referring to the later persecutions of Christians by the Romans. Christians were fed to the lions. Pardon me for not being more clear.
These persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire were carried out by local authorities on a sporadic and ad-hoc basis, often more according to the whims of the local community than to the opinion of imperial authority.
These persecutions heavily influenced the development of Christianity, shaping Christian theology and the structure of the Church. Among other things, persecution gave rise to many saints' cults, may have contributed to the rapid spread of Christianity and sparked written explanations and defenses of the Christian religion.
Right you are, FRiend.
That's the Russian S400 'Gravestone' radar. I'm willing to bet if they turned it on we'd see it from a long way off.
No doubt.
I wonder who they stole THAT technology from. The Germans? from us? Canada?
NOT from the Chinese, that's for sure, because they would have to keep it clean and usable and it can't be eaten;
Not from Mexico since it's not called the TACO TANK;
Not from the French since it doesn't smell of B.O.;
Not from the Canadians, since they spend their time crossing over to the US for shopping;
Not from any South/Central American country because they are too poor;
Not from Italy because it's not beautiful enough, but it wouldn't work anyway, just be beautiful;
Not from the Swiss because they have better things to spend their money on;
Not the Spaniards because it would interrupt siesta time;
Not from England or Great Britain because they have too many problems keeping THEIR country safe;
Not from Belgium because Herule Perot is dead;
Not from the Netherlands because the boy still has his finger in the dike;
Czech Republic? POSSIBLE, very possible;
Not from Slovakia because they can just barely survive;
Not from the Scandihoovians because it's just too cold to anything but drink from September through June;
Latvia, Estonia, etc., too poor;
Not Tibet as they are under the Chinese wok thumb;
Not in Siberia as they are like the Scandihoovians;
Not anywhere in Africa because they are still, for the most part, in the Stone Age.
Hmmmm, maybe WE built it and our cowardly POTUS gave it to them. POSSIBLE.
Is that you, Prince Majed?
As long as you're here, can you refresh my memory on how many 9-11 hijackers were Saudi?
Or how many carried Saudi passports?
Or who was it that funded the operation and retreat in Afghanistan?
Or why Saudi Arabian justice allowed Osama bin Laden to escape with funds to Afghanistan after conviction?
Or who is it that funds radical Wahabbi Mosque/terrorist recruitment centers in the US and worldwide?
Japan needs to start buying from Russia.
I guess YOU have ALL the answers. Gee, it must be nice. Why don't you call our POTUS and give him your advice.
I guess you have your Ph.D. in politics, especially middle east politics PLUS a Ph.D in the petroleum business.
You condemn an entire people because of the behavior of a relative few of their people. How sensible of you, how Christian.
Why don't you ask the US Air Force personnel, stationed in the KSA over there about it? They've been there since before 1980 and could give you eye-witness accounts of what goes on over there.
Rae Dik Dae Lim was over there, South Korean regulars AND worker bees for the ARAMCO company. Why not ask them? They were there JUST to protect the oil and natural gas fields from JUST such attacks.
Oh well. God bless you and your family...and keep them safe always.
OK, I get it, you love the Saudis, me not so much.
Lol. YOU seem to be the one who is going to extremes, since I never said that. So, it's probably a waste of time and energy writing to you. I'll put you on my "ignore" list and we won't have to deal with each other any more.
May the good Lord keep you and yours and y'all have a great Thanksgivin'. I'm fixin' to go to Texas (deep in the heart) and I have to practice my Texas-ese.
