"Russia will do everything necessary to stop attempts to introduce sanctions (which would interfer with our arms sales) against Syria ," spokesman Mikhail Kalmynin told Interfax news agency

[sergey1973]

Putin regime actions only gives Russia a bad name among civilized world. To defend the Islamic terror sponsor who is credibly accused in the involvement of assassination of the fmr. Lebanese president and numerous other Islamist terror activities against Israel and other countries is simply indefensible. Syria and the likes will return gratitude to Russia by financing or arming Islamist insurgency in North Caucasus and elsewhere.

The sad thing is that Antiamericanism is too strong among Putin ex-KGB circle to see the dangers of supporting Islamonazi regimes. The regime will work against the very interest of iys own country just to stick up to United States--very sad and pathetic.

All that entertaining Putin at the Crawford Ranch for NOTHING

Maybe he wanted popcorn like Teddy got

I am growing tired of this. Russia floats a balloon and we back off like clockwork.

We need to have up or down votes in the Security Counsel. If Russia wants to veto fine let them. They can then stand and defend their decision to the world and everyone can have another abject lesson in how useless the UN is.

Not bringing these issues to a vote is undermining the US internationally and giving cover to countries like Russia, who are gladly putting profit before world security and stability. Let them veto, and then let them try to justify their actions.

The UN does not want up or down votes unless they can guaranty the outcome. Its time to put these countries on record, you either support terrorist regimes or you don’t.

I don’t care one way or the other if Russia vetos as it will ultimately have no bearing on our actions. But it would be helpful to put these countries on record that in the end they support terrorists regimes.

Fine

Economic Sanctions have never been as effective as a little Shock & Awe.

Syria is almost not worth bothering with. We have troops on their boarder with Iraq playing cat and mouse with the foreign terrorists they give haven; Iran and Russia have their fingers up Assad's butt and use him like a finger puppet.

The place is run by a child and soon there will be incursions and other activities all along his boarders that will go unmentioned except in the sympathetic leftist MSM. Even Lebanon, a nation with legitimate casus belli has began to move troops onto their boarder regions.

Syria has nothing that would take more than a fortnight to eliminate via artillery and air power; the place is not even worth sending in ground forces.

Eze 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

It is foretold by the prophets in the Bible that Russia will align itself with Iran, Syria, and the other Islamic nations, against Israel in the latter days. (This is already happening guys as you can see!)
It is interesting that God himself will bring Russia, Iran and all those with them to attack Israel, all a set up, but we are the ones who will see this happen that was first prophecied in 550 BC.
This is when islam will see that Jehovah is God and not allah!

They are going to have a hard time blocking the US Navy version of sanctions. All talk.

[highlander_UW]

Russia...attempting to create conditions of war in the middle east. Biblical signs are lining up.

Wouldn't the Muslims have a much easier time taking over the "-istans" in Asia and Russia than they would taking over Europe?
