Seems like it was not true, as I predicted :) Russia may not deliver a hugely controversial consignment of S-300 air defense missile systems to the Syrian regime this year, two Russian newspapers reported Friday, rejecting claims the weapons had already arrived in the country. The Vedomosti...

I can highlight one, and it is where I stopped reading: 1. Egypt did no such thing as withdrawing from the peace agreement. 2. Egypt is not formally allied with Iran, or at all it seems. All we had are mutual visits from state figures. I see no point in reading an article that gets basic...

In the following I am going to assume that the report has elements of truth but this is far from certain, in the past the Palestinians have told many lies. 1. There is no exact number of graves found, odd that it's left ambiguous. 2. This report does not have estimates of dead in each grave...

decent analysis: Israel could swoop on S-300 missiles in Syria, but with risks (Reuters) - Israel could overcome advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles if they were deployed in Syria but any strikes on the system would be difficult and risk alienating its supplier, Russia. Israel has pledged...

I guess then... I am the state :) democracy is defined pretty well with or without Israel. Who's to say Israel is not legitimate, you?

Because he isn't democratically elected.

I wouldn't take this too seriously without confirmation from external sources. The USA and Russia are working on a conference regarding the Syrian matter, I doubt Russia would take such actions just before that.

@bdslph Why? Hezballah is not your ordinary day to day para military organization, they even say so themselves. Hezballah got tens of thousands of rockets, an advanced communication system apart from the countries lines (just like armies have). He has used advanced surface-surface and...

What he basically said is that Russia is frustrated with the EU decisions, and that EU should keep in mind that each decision has two sides. He said something to the effect: "If one side (the EU) stops the embargo, then another side (Russia) can shed the earlier obligation (I presume, not...

@T-123456 Now, I agree. Later who knows. I said it in another thread, I doubt that Israel will strike the shipment, you can see my reasoning there. Historically speaking Israel avoided acting against Soviet troops until they were near and threatening Israeli border and violating Israeli...

Personally I doubt that Israel will hit the shipment any time soon. I believe that if Israel's intention is to strike sparingly a small number of times the best solution for us would be to work around it. I am sure that NATO got to study the system, and considering the drills Israel has with...

Yeah, but Israel and Syria are at war, so it's kind of an issue for Israel. The war is quite cold most of the time yet it is there. The S-300 is not meant against the FSA, can you guess who it is meant against? It might be considered defensive when you have vast countries thousands of miles from...

Funny how the person you quote is a former goverment official and has little influence on current policies. Funnier is that while people (rightfully so) call the terrorist a lone madman that does not represent all the other British Muslims You have a hard time to understand that this one...

@illusion8 Ah, as I said it's an opinion I have just based on a first glance, I might be wrong but I still hold on to what i said atm. I agree that I made the mistake of wording myself too strongly. I'll take a longer look at the PDF when I have a bit more time. Just lets be clear on what I...

So Ad hominem is your first and only resort?

The west is not training any faction in Syria, and they have hardly armed anyone there yet. The Arab countries did both of those things, yet they are no where to be found in your post... The Syrian government who are called terrorists by some are neither armed nor trained by the west as well...

@Cheetah786 I prefer to ask what is your motif to lie? The Jews were not supplying arms to either side. Israel was supplying arms just to one side, and that is under USA pressure and for USA interests. I remember you accused Israel of arming the FSA in another thread. I requested evidence and...

I have a quote for you: Any idiot can look at lists and come to conclusion, that's not a study. They should examine each possible candidate and make assessments. Though without throughout I call this BS. Haiti should score higher, though maybe it shouldn't be on the list at all since it was...

@BDforever Yes, I understand. Even if you have a stronger army acting alone will just bog you down for ages and probably just cause more killings. Sadly the world has a shitty record at stopping massacres even after ww2. I know I will be mentioning this to people I know. Probably more...

@BDforever I am flattered that you care about my opinion on the matter. Sorry for the long time it took me to reply, I was busy lately. Frankly I only vaguely heard of this issue before I got to this forum (The guy who put the sticky up, thank you!). I am still reading on the subject and...
