Regional war might follow. NATO may intervene. Moscow may defend its regional interests. On January 12, Press TV headlined "Russia warships near Syria, signal to US: Vyacheslav Matuzov."
Political analyst Matuzov said their presence is significant. Concentrating near Syria's coast sends a message.
"I think that it is a very clear signal to the NATO leadership, to United States of America that Russia".is ready to (take appropriate) steps to provide necessary measures to prevent negative developments in political side, in geopolitical side, in Middle East, in Syria and in Caucasus.""I am sure absolutely that these exercises are connected politically, very closely with American policy that is encouraging military groups to intervene in Syria through Turkish territory."
"Russia will not approve any violations of international law anymore because it (ignored) American behavior in Libya, in Iraq, in Yugoslavia, in many other places."
"I think that now Russia came to the conclusion, no other place will be permitted for the United States."
The ball is in Washington's court. It's up to America to rethink its regional policy, he added. Russia wants international law respected.
It's especially concerned about protecting its interests in areas close to its borders. It knows Syria is a stepping stone to Iran.
If America controls the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, Russia and China become the last line of defense. They'll be largely alone to prevent US global dominance.
