BREAKING! RUSSIAN TROOPS HEADED TO SYRIA

 now comes word that Russian troops are headed to Syria. From the UCLA Newsroom we have this faculty experts advisory:

Armed Russian troops have been sent to Syria to guard the Russian navy’s deep-water port in the Mediterranean coastal town of Tartus, a move likely to frustrate Western efforts to put pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad.

According to Russian sources, these troops are being sent merely to protect Russian bases in Syria. That's what LBJ said the first time he sent US Marines to Vietnam and we know where that led. From Lyndon B. Johnson and the Vietnam War we have:

On 8 March 1965, two battalions of U.S. Marines waded ashore on the beaches at Danang. Those 3,500 soldiers were the first combat troops the United States had dispatched to South Vietnam to support the Saigon government in its effort to defeat an increasingly lethal Communist insurgency. Their mission was to protect an air base...

The US sent its own soldiers in because it found the the troops of its client state were proving unequal to the task of putting down the insurgency. What could be the Russian motivation? Are they afraid Assad's troops can no longer protect the Russian base?

From The Hill's Defense Blog we have this, the most through description of Russian military support for the Assad regime I've seen so far:

Report: More Russian troops heading to Syria
By Carlo Munoz - 06/15/12 03:03 PM ET

Russia is deploying another batch of troops to Syria as Moscow and Washington continue to spar over the best way to resolve the worsening crisis in the country.

A Russian warship carrying a small contingent of troops is en route to the country's naval base in Tartus to provide security for the installation, U.S. officials told NBC News on Friday.

In March, Moscow reportedly sent elite units of Russian marines and special-operations forces to Syria to conduct anti-terrorism missions in the country.

Two months later, a Russian guided-missile destroyer, named the Smetlivy, was sent to Tartus, joining three other warships deployed to the Russian naval base in Syria on March 19, according to reports at the time by Agence France Presse and al Arabiya.

RAPING IRAN AND SYRIA IS A GOOD TITLE.

By Supporting Religous extremism the USA/UK/France and Israel are Infact RAPING IRAN AND SYRIA, LIBYA AND EGYPT, IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.  These are unlawful policies that ought to be condemned by all, however are practically as a result of deceit supported by many.  Yes IRI rapes, Yes Syria Rapes, Yes USA rapes, Yes Israel, the UK and France have all been implicated in Raping, russia and china too.  Its criminal. 

This is not the issue, the issue is who brought these rapists to power in iran, for what reason?????

Who is keeping them in power today???? 

Who is denying political support to Iranian secular democrats?????

Who is funding and supporting meK and trying to present them to iranians as democratic, secular and capitalist???????

This is infact a criminal policy carried out actively by 4 governments

THE USA

THE UK

FRANCE

ISRAEL

Wait a minute, are these the so called civilized, free democracies????

NOTICE HOW RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST IRANIANS.  NOT THAT THEY ARE HELPFUL AT THIS POINT IN TIME EITHER.

DID ANYONE WATCH THAT FILTHY SKANKY B^%CH HILARY AT WORK CONTINUING her nations deadly deceit against Iranians????? 

It was listed in current events here on IC.... I'm so surprised 33 years since this has been going on, more Iranians and people of the world don't take a big dump on the USA and its criminal acts  //iranian.com/main/2012/jun/clinton-irani...

putting your attention on the wrong issues fred will mean no real change ever happens, remember that and decide what you want to spend your time on.  As people smell and taste what is really going on for them, they will pursue their own interests no matter what was sold to them before.

The Common Sense

"But not quite sure what a western media is telling us."

 And that is called 'common sese' which the '(in)sane world' has no concept of it! Needless to remind the readers of the 'Abu Ghuraib Prison' episode, just as a small example of the said world's aggressions in the occupied Iraq, after which the word 'raping' found a new meaning!

Jmyt17

I don't know what sources you trust, but I know of one family whose son had been raped after being caught in the 2009 uprising. 

Raping

Not a fan of Assa or IRI at all.

Assad have to go, one way ticket and later he has to oay for his crime.

But not quite sure what a western media is telling us.

Let is have one step back and look at the reality.
