Russia’s chief exporter Anatoly Isaykin discussed the controversial issue of arms exports to Syria today, revealing that, as other Russian officials had indicated, the arms being shipped are air defense and naval defense weaponry.
The US had been claiming Russia was sending attack helicopters and other weaponry to crack down on rebels in the country, but eventually backed down, conceding that the only helicopters en route were already Syrian, and had just been repaired in Russia.
Instead the arms shipments are centered not on the rebels fighting the regime now, but the NATO nations that could be invading Syria in the days to come. Isaykin said that the weapons, while not “cutting edge,” should deter those planning an attack on Syria.
This is no mere hypothetical, as both France and Britain have been pushing the UN to endorse a NATO invasion, and the US itself confirmed just today that they have “completed” their plans to attack Syria.
Hells bells. Any surprise to find out Uncle Scam has plans to attack yet another country? What would finally put the kabosh on these insane fantasies would be for Russia to initiate a boots-on-ground move that would put their own personnel there as a put up or shut up. The West would literally, and deservedly, sh*t their pants.
I wish the weapons were cutting edge so those F18s, F16s, F15s, Tornadoes, and so on start falling from the sky as hail
I am lost. Would someone please explain who is UN that France and Britain have been pushing? Does UN not include Russia and China? But everyone already knows that those two countries are against it, so who are those two US puppets pushing?
Please please please — China, pull the plug on funding; Russia, remind the US that it is not the only military power on planet earth. And ICC, please arrest the American officials who shipped Maher Arar off to be tortured by friend and accomplice Assad and prosecute them for their crime.
While you're at it, ship Kissinger off to be boiled alive by our ally Islam Karimov. Send Bush to Saudi Arabia to hold hands with the Royal Wahabist and wheedle another pile of cash to stuff in another dry hole. What a country. People hate hypocrisy, how can the pretend to love America?
“No-fly zone” invasion — Start of World War Three
Syria is more rock-solid and stable then several nations in Western Europe, surely this so called Revolution is a Western coup in the making and Russia without hesitation will start dropping NATO planes out of the sky if our Empire is so god-ego inflated as to instigate another “no-fly zone” invasion.
