Cold War 2.0 Has Begun … In Syria - Prepper1 - 7 December 2012
The U.S. and Russia Are In a New Cold War … And China May Join In
The U.S. is supporting the Syrian opposition (and see this), considering military options for ousting the Syrian government, American allies Britain and Qatar allegedly already have foreign troops inside Syria, and the U.S. has been planning regime change in Syria for over 50 years.
Indeed, the United States is fighting on the same side as 3 terrorist groups in Syria.
Even Pat Buchanan asks:
If its good for Al Qaeda, can it be good for us?
Indeed, terrorist rebels have been responsible for much of the violence inside Syria. And outside monitors have confirmed that the situation on the ground is much different than it is being portrayed in the Western media. (And according to the large German newspaper FAZ, those recently massacred in Hama were on the same side as Syrian leader Assad).
Russia has repeatedly stated that it would consider an attack on Syria as an attack on its national security. (And Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that if the U.S. invades the sovereignty of countries like Syria, it could lead to nuclear war. And see this.)
Now, Russia is allegedly selling attack helicopters to the Syrian government, and defending the sales because the U.S. is supplying rebels with weapons to fight against the government.
Cold War 2.0. And this time, China may participate.

That's VERY interesting.
Not too worried, until it reaches our shores.

To be honest, I would be promising to sell them what ever they wanted and taking the cash. In the unlikely event it ever gets there, it would have certain bits missing. Russia has had a deal with Syria for years for arms, just because Syria are using them and America is stamping its foot doesn't mean Russia should stop.

Three years ago the Russians sold Syria a nice new shiny advanced Air Defence System called Pantir short-range surface to air missiles and air defence artillary. Appears the US has had problems getting around this system, guess that why NATO ain't so keen to get there arses toasted over Damacus or Allepo.
