RUSSIA ARMS SYRIA WITH MISSILES TO DEFEND AGAINST NATO ATTACK
Warns it will not tolerate western powers crossing a ?red line?

We now know what those six Russian warships that reportedly entered Syrian territorial waters last week were carrying. Aside from representing a show of strength to discourage NATO powers from launching a military attack, on board were Russian technical experts ready to help Damascus set up a sophisticated missile defense system sold to them by Moscow.
?Russian warships that have reached waters off Syria in recent days were carrying, among other things, Russian technical advisors who will help the Syrians set up an array of S-300 missiles Damascus has received in recent weeks, a report in the London-based Arabic language Al Quds-Al Arabi said Thursday. Citing sources in Syria and Russia, the paper said that Moscow sees a Western attack on Syria as a ?red line? that it will not tolerate,? reports Arutz Sheva.
The S-300 missiles, which according to the report will be used to ?deflect a possible attack by NATO or the U.S. and EU,? are long range surface-to-air missiles developed by Russia in 1979 for the purpose of protecting large industrial and military bases from enemy attack aircraft and cruise missiles.
The system is widely regarded as one of the most powerful anti-aircraft arrays in modern warfare, having the ability to track up to 100 targets and engage 12 at any one time. Russia recently tried to sell the same system to Iran but the transaction was halted after pressure from the U.S. and Israel.
Arming Syria with such a proficient means of aerial defense would obviously not bode well for any prospective ?no fly zone? being planned by western powers. Reports have been circulating this week that fighter jets from Turkey and other Arab states would soon enter Syrian airspace under ?humanitarian? pretenses with logistical aid from the United States.
?Along with the missiles, the report says that Russia has installed advanced radar systems in all key Syrian military and industrial installations. The radar system also covers areas north and south of Syria, where it will be able to detect movement of troops or aircraft towards the Syrian border. The radar targets include much of Israel, as well as the Incirlik military base in Turkey, which is used by NATO,? states the report.
French foreign minister Alain Jupp? yesterday assured Syrian opposition forces that NATO powers are planning to launch a military intervention by imposing ?humanitarian corridors or humanitarian zones? in the name of protecting civilians from the alleged abuses of the al-Assad regime.
The prospect of air strikes being launched under a ?humanitarian? banner are seen as increasingly likely given the fact that the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush has been moved to the Syrian coast in recent days having left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz.
Tensions also escalated yesterday after the U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens to leave Syria ?immediately,? while Turkey?s foreign ministry told its citizens to avoid traveling through the country on their return home from Saudi Arabia.
As we have previously noted, attacking Syria could merely be an entr?e for an assault on Iran because Tehran has promised to defend its ally.

Russia Retaliates Against US: Puts Radar Station On Combat Alert, Prepares To Take Out European Missile Defense Systems
by Tyler Durden on 11/23/2011
Earlier today, we presented the latest developments in the escalating possibility of an imminent air (and potentially land) campaign targeting Syria by the "western world", a move that would infuriate not only Iran, but also Russia and China, both of which have made it clear they would not sit idly by and let such an "aggression" stand. Now it is Russia's turn to retaliate. Cutting straight to the chase - in a nationally televized appearance by Russian president Dmitry Medvedev: in response to what the Russian believes is an active incursion and a potential act of eventual aggression on behalf of NATO countries in Eastern Europe (and hence the US), he he said the following (7 minutes in): "First, I am instructing the Defense Ministry to immediately put the missile attack early warning radar station in Kaliningrad on combat alert. Second, protective cover of Russia's strategic nuclear weapons, will be reinforced as a priority measure under the programme to develop out air and space defenses. Third, the new strategic ballistic missiles commissioned by the Strategic Missile Forces and the Navy will be equipped with advanced missile defense penetration systems and new highly-effective warheads. Fourth, I have instructed the Armed Forces to draw up measures for disabling missile defense system data and guidance systems if need be... Fifth, if the above measures prove insufficient, the Russian Federation will deploy modern offensive weapon systems in the west and south of the country, ensuring our ability to take out any part of the US missile defense system, in Europe. One step in this process will be to deploy Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad Region. Other measures to counter the European missile defense system will be drawn up and implemented as necessary. Furthermore, if the situation continues to develop not in Russia's favor we reserve the right to discontinue further disarmament and arms control measures. Besides, given the intrinsic link between strategic offensive and defensive arms, conditions for our withdrawal from the New START Treaty could also arise." That said, he concludes that Russia is still open to dialog. However, if Obama merely intends to bomb any nation at will, we are very much concerned that everything Medvedev has just threatened will be enacted. And exponentially more so when Putin comes back in charge. One thing is certain - Russia is not North Korea, and taking this speech for more empty jawboning is probably not the wisest option.

NEWS - FROM THE ITALIAN CORRIERE DELLA SERA AND? THE WORLD PRESS ? OCTOBER, YEAR 2007
"If Iran does not suspend nuclear testing, the third world war is coming," said U.S. President George W. Bush. Which, it is understood, would see Russia? involved too, and certainly not from? United States ?s part , but as their main opponent. The Russian President Putin announced a "grand" modernization of? Russian military and therefore nuclear system. Today the world is in a dramatic situation, in a configuration where the two old enemies (the U.S. - USSR - now Russia) are found to be leading, despite themselves, the two groups of countries that possess or seek to own at all costs a nuclear weapon. They are, alongside the United States: Israel, Britain, France, with some criticism, more or less from Pakistan and India; alongside Russia: China, North Korea, Iran and some other country the Middle East.
The spectrum of the cold war persists.
