Russia has ordered the US not to carry out airstrikes on Syrian army positions, warning that sophisticated air defence systems are now up and running. Putin has ordered the deployment of S-300 and S-400 units in order to protect troops on the ground. And Russian army bosses have warned that the weapons' radius may be 'a surprise' to unidentified planes, helicopters and drones in the area, according to Russia Today . Russia says it has deployed the anti-aircraft batteries because members of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria are working “ on the ground ” delivering aid.

Syria is just a proxy battle ground. The globalist, so-called progressive target is Russia. The goal is to embarrass their nationalism, upset their politics, and hence minimize them and make them a bit-player in the new world order.

Except Syria has been Russia's turf for decades. We have no interest there. We had an opportunity to inject ourselves when this whole thing kicked off, but Obama pursued regime change after so many wonderful successes during the "Arab Spring." Syria's been in chaos ever since.

I thought Putin might declare a no-fly zone. It makes sense. Syria is Russia’s ally.

I truly hope the zone isn’t probed by our piloted planes. I expect there will have to be some kind of show of force and resolve. Plus some pretty outrageous bait and an ambush. I pray that none of our heroic pilots don’t get sacrificed to drum up outrage.

nobama is bound and determined to have the first nuclear war be his legacy.

106 days left per Laz.

The period from Nov 8 to Jan 20 will be very interesting and unsettled. Get ready for it.

Oh no doubt. And so was Ukraine. Obama didn't expect Putin to push back, but after he saw what happened to Libya, he pushed back in Syria for sure. Crimea and the Baltic have been a 350+ year project for Russia, so to expect any leader in Russia to give it up was just sheer Obama stupidity and neocon fantasy.

Insane we are risking nuclear war over supporting the Al Nusra Al Qaeda jihadis and other Salafist jihadis slaughtering Christians and other religious minorities who are seeking to turn secular Syria into an Islamist state. And the U.S military even directly supported ISIS when U.S. aircraft slaughtered dozen of Syrians soldiers fighting ISIS in Deir ez-Zor. I’m afraid to say it appears that we are now on the side of the devil.

Obama was using the United States military aircraft to defend ISIS.....that is treason.

Russia is supporting the legally elected government of Syria

Hillary & Obama are the architects of ISIS....who are the war criminals?

The crazy thing is can you imagine fighting a war against Russia over Obama policies we don’t support at all in the first place? That is why congress must declare war! We are not being represented. No one wants us in damned Syria!

The globalist, so-called progressive target is Russia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CIA Operation Arab Spring MENA countries surround *Israel*.
That’s the target. The latest US Illegal War against Yet Another sovereign nation is against DAMASCUS...

Russia will never take it in the ass from America. Look how they fought in WW II.

The US Military’s top brass better remove that POS before he gets us all killed.

They haven’t honored their oaths to date and they won’t in the future. It’s over.
