European countries are sold out by their ruling elite Masters. Sold out to the Islamic invasion. Assad is not a barrier - in his government or out of it - he’s not a barrier to the islamics invading Europe. Never has been. It’s the responsibility of each European country to decide whether to welcome or accept or limit or refuse entry to them- or in fact to repatriate the ones who’ve gotten in already ( send them home)

Possibly so.

The drone, a few months ago, had explosives, it was discovered when they took it apart.

According to some reports, the S-300s are already in Syria. They came by ship from Russia through the Aegean Sea and were unloaded under a literal smokescreen to prevent satellite observation or any other kind.

According to some, it is preferable for Israel to destroy them before they become operational.

The excerpt in the following, just posted, will show friendly readers who is who in Syria. Fans of the enemy, however, will post obfuscations and try to confuse readers.

Question: Why would they even be there if not to stop Israeli missiles in a future battle? Who else would attack Syria and for what reason?

The Syria government and its loyal constituents have maintained a posture of war against Israel since 1948. Assad has repeatedly threatened Israel and shown his desire to attack, when he thinks he can get away with it. Israel has the right to prevent Assad’s government from so much as having the ability to effectively attack Israel.

Little flashback here.

Syria threatens to use SCUD missiles on Israel if it carries out any more airstrikes
Russia warns Israel on behalf of Assad regime that any more air strikes in Syria will be met with Scud missiles
It came as Israeli warplanes struck several targets in Syria last week, prompting retaliatory missile launches
That was the most serious incident between the two countries since the Syrian civil war began six years ago

The Obama White House nearly destroyed Syria with its fanatic Islamic proxies.

The West has gleefully become the airforce for those same vicious fanatics.

Our governments live in delusional bubbles.

Grumble and Growler may prove to be adequate deterrants. We shall see.

If they are worried about S-300s what does that say about S-400s?

They are way out over their skiis here. I have seen no attack by Syria on them at all? If so, when and where?


You missed all the Israeli bombings of Iranians in Syria? Iran controls Syria, BTW. Iran wants to put al-Qods and Rev. Guards on the Syrian Golan border in preparation for a major (announced recently) attack on Northern Israel.

It is the Iranians who are also potentially protected by these systems. If the Russians give Assad these systems, are deployed, their range guarantees that all the Iranian missile shipment to Hezbollah will also be protected. When Israel again takes out these transhipments and are attacked by the systems - that is when Israel will act to destroy them and any Russians present at the batteries.

Other country is puppet state of a third country which is in the throws of staging troops and munitions to attack the one country which will act to destroy the build up. One country not offended, rather it is an existential situation for them.

You might have to go back to the Six Day War in 1967 to find evidence...which resulted in Israel taking the Golan Heights away from Syria.

"Interesting that a Russian speaking Israeli Defense Minister..."

Few Israeli's are from Israel - South Africa, Tunisia, Venezuela, France, Iraq, etc - not unusual to see Israelis speaking a myriad of different languages.

The current Defense Minister is, I think the first Russian-Russian immigrant Russian to Israel to hold that high-title. Maybe by now, most Israelis are native-born, “Sabras”, (including Arabs).

Syria, since Israel’s creation is a sworn enemy.

They have launched many wars against Israel.

Israel MUST have a policy of PRE-EMPTING future attacks or build ups, if they don’t they die.

Israel hits Syria because Syria has given up on full sovereignty.

Iran and Russia saved Assad from destruction. They control his country. He is a puppet in his own land.

Iran is building capabilities to do a pincer movement on Israel’s tiny northern frontier. It cannot be tolerated. Hence, they pre-empt future Syrian/Iranian/Hizbollah forward bases.

Hamas is not iranian. Hamas is saudi sunni. If you dont know that, none of your speculation holds any water.


I would recommend you do a simple web search for “why does Iran support Hamas” and you can read for hours.

They do support Hamas. The hatred of Israel for Iran is more important to them than the Shia/Sunni divide. Everyone acknowledges this to include Hamas so not sure why you think I am wrong. Iran will use any proxy they can to hit at Israel and they have certainly funded, armed, and supported Hamas.

I assure you that Iran is Shiite— 100% . They HATE hamas. I read this stereotyping all the time so I know you have been deceived but Iran engages in ZERO terrorism. All terrorism is Sunni Wahhabi sect. The closest to terrorism is when Saudi Sunni Isis uses Iranian munitions ( they captured) as IEDs years ago in Iraq. Did you know that Shiites do NOT do suicide missions? It is against their faith. NEVER.Suicide missions are 100% SUNNI!! We are so ignorant in this country, I can’t believe it.9/11 and ALL terrorism in this country is 100% Sunni. Saudi Arabia sponsored the 911 attack out of their embassy and we covered it up to protect oil investors here!!!! It was in the 28 pages of the 911 commission report released by Trump after 15 years of hiding it!! No Sir, Iran is NOT Hamas.

S-300s have been modified and improved since they first appeared.
