Syrian Tripwire For WWIII

Russian Rear Admiral Andrei Baranov has disclosed that 10 Russian warships are already anchored at the Syrian port of Tartus. Russian engineering crews are widening and dredging the port to accommodate additional Russian warships.

The Russians are making clear their intentions of using the large Russian naval presence in Tartus as a deterrent to Israeli air strikes against Syria using the powerful anti-air missiles on-board the Russian naval warships. These missile systems can sweep the sky over most of Syria and knock down Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighters. This changes the balance of power in the air over Syria.

This also places a tripwire for World War III in place in the Middle East. Any attack on Iran will also involve a war with Syria and Lebanon. This will now involve Russian military forces in direct support of the Iranian/Syrian alliance. Russia is a major nuclear power with the power to destroy every American and NATO city. George Bush has just agreed to sell Israel 1,000 very advanced American bunker buster bombs for use in the coming war with Iran, Syria, and Lebanon.

The neo-cons are going to get most of us killed.

Another geopolitical piece moved into place.

Russia doesn't want to see a war in the Middle East and want to cap the PNAC fanatics from starting one. Just remember, the best way to win is to not fight this war.

So You are a realist .

This has all been foretold for 3000 years. You would think maybe the nuts in control could at least make a tiny effort not to blow up the planet. I can imagine Hagee peein his pants with utter ecstacy over all this . Nowhere in scripture is it the will of GOD to have an armaggedon. The blood will run up to the horses bridle because some jackass politicians have a taste for conquest and defending the chosen peoples.

How long do we have before the big one ? No man knows the day or the hour but we have the signs all pointing to any old day now. Its been a good life. The darkest hour is just before the dawn of a new age to come to the world when righteoussness will reign. I will meet You in the morning just outside the eastern gate.

Syrian tripwire

The Russians are not going to put up with the U.S. and NATO encircling it and making incursions into what they see as their sphere of influence.  They will use what countervailing power they can but they have probably learned not to exhaust their resources.  They are making new overtures to Cuba about reestablishing a listening post there.  They are sending weapons and are arranging for bases in Venezuela.  They made a powerful statement in Georgia and now they are constucting a naval base in Syria.  They would rather not use precious funds to do this and concentrate mostly on business but we leave them no choice.
