Russian president signals he will take action if America strikes at Assad as US counterpart admits relations have hit a wall
He then said Russia might restart Syria's suspended S-300 air defence missile contract.

I actually know some about the S-300 PMU....it has a very deadly phase-array TER (tracking and engagement radar). The -300 standing for 300km standoff detection, you don’t want your airplane being tracked by this - I don’t care what you’re driving.
Russia has a newer version under development (you can read it online) dubbed the S-400....guess what a 400 km kill range gets you....can you say JSTARS?
Putin used the democrat talking point “international norm” and turned it back on Obama. That’s hilarious.
I read where “Chicken-boner” won’t meet with the Russian delegation. I hope they tell the world what they wanted to tell congress.
