Russia said on Tuesday that a U.S. decision to ease restrictions on arming Syrian rebels had opened the way for deliveries of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, a move it said would directly threaten Russian forces in Syria.
Moscow last year launched a campaign of air strikes in Syria to help President Bashar al-Assad and his forces retake territory lost to rebels, some of whom are supported by the United States.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the policy change easing restrictions on weapons supplies had been set out in a new U.S. defence spending bill and that Moscow regarded the step as a hostile act.

"In the administration of B. Obama they must understand that any weapons handed over will quickly end up in the hands of jihadists," she added, saying that perhaps that was what the White House was counting on happening.
Which “Syrian rebels” will be the end recipients of these arms?
It is. Patently. This country has no business arming and assisting Muslim Brotherhood ‘rebels’ with anything. Been there done that - Egypt and Libya.
Trump should cut that sh!t off on day one and get our sons and daughters out of there implementing the Halfrican Muslim’s will.
isis
Trump’s inauguration can’t happen soon enough.
Where are all the anti-war protesters? Democrats sure are gung ho here and interventionist.
“Zakharova accused the Obama administration of trying to “put a mine” under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump by attempting to get it to continue what she called Washington’s “anti-Russian line.”
Massive increase in regulations
“permanent” ban on off shore drilling (in places)
Abstain from UN vote on Settlements and now
Arming Syrian rebels (aka war with Russia in Syria)
What is next? Obozo is really working overtime to cut Trump’s knees out from under him.
War with Iran.
Obama isn’t just working against Trump. Obama is dedicated to doing damage to America.
Why would we do that? It looks like it would reduce stability in the region.
He’s got almost a month and I’m afraid he’s saving the best for last.
Yup. Furthermore, no one knows who are the good guys and the bad guys.
As more Muslims get the know how of shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles, those weapons can be used against any Kafir aircraft anywhere in the world including USA passenger planes. -Tom
Obama had no cause to try overthrowing the Syrian government other than he wants to shove in there even more extremely anti-American, anti-Western IslamoNazis....the worst of the worst (just as he tried to do illegally bombing Libya and illegally working to overthrow the Egyptian government too)
he is STILL protecting his Iranian IslamoNazi comrades as they rush construction of their nuclear ICBM arsenal to destroy their Great Satan (sic) ... America.
AND he’s sent them $150 BILLION to further enable their war making, too. Including in Syria
DJT will need to work 24/7/365 trying to repair all of Obama’s damage to America (and the rest of the world too including our allies). Islamics need to be destroyed, not funded, armed, protected, and enabled
Making sure the Syrians slaughter each other for all eternity makes an important ally of ours in that region happy.
Yup. “Syrian rebels” = ISIS.
The only "Syrian rebel" group that counts - ISIS. Bashir al-Assad and Russian are allies. At least for the present. So by the simple process of elimination of all other possibilities, that makes the Current Regime the ally of ISIS.
Wonder how hard it was to understand that King Obama is a communists black Muslim terrorists. Knew he was the worst terrorists that America ever had and will still destroy much of America before we dump him.
The “Syrian rebels” in Aleppo were described by Peter Hitchens in his “Mail on Sunday” columns as “Osama Bin Laden sympathizers” and “Al Qaeda”.
The rebels are called “Al Nusra” but the former terms apply.
Why are the leaders of the USA supporting “Osama Bin Laden sympathizers” and “Al Qaeda” in Syria?
Read the Hitchens Dec. 18 and Dec. 11 columns on his blog.

Vlad...just let it go for now.
You, like the rest of us have to wait for this POS Obama to be gone 23 days from now.
Just hold your tongue and let’s talk once the muslim faggot is gone.
