    If S-300s (SAMs) are delivered, by Russia, to Assad then 's first response would be to strike these systems as they would cause a great threat to IAF aircraft which operate in Assad, as well as Lebanese, airspace to strike (ian) and Hezbullah targets.

    Another Syria crisis could spark if Russia hands over surface-to-air missile systems

    I think i found out the international sign language for an extremely common problem. Can be used in any part of the world, or simply at the local Kebab shop, after a night out, when you don't want to alarm other patrons.

    Russia is doing its usual tricks with the various narratives around the Douma attack, first there was no attack, now they've conveniently found a rebel chemical weapons lab with a chlorine gas cylinder. If you're still falling for this stuff you aren't as smart as you think.

    Taking them down, one indignant citizen at a time... Sometimes, a whole bunch of them if time permits.

    *whispers* the chemical used does matter, you imbeciles. One gives you runny nose and burning eyes. The other kills you. Where do these peoole come from?!

    Looks like aren't even bothering to coordinate with Syrian regime or Russia air defence anymore

    Many official sources reported that no Israel airstrike happened yesterday, and that the Syrian Air Defense system opened fired due to an error that involved an Iranian UAV ... same sources said something else yesterday

    So weird! Why would Russia prevent UN inspectors from examining the scene of the CW attack if the White Helmets staged it, as they claim? Wouldn't a professional UN investigation confirm their claims?

    OPCW inspectors still not given access to Douma by Russia and Syria, 9 days after alleged chemical attack, eight after Russia military experts got there, six after Russia declared Douma under state control, five after Russian military police deployed there.

    So - Russia fully controls Douma. - Russia says Douma is too dangerous for the to enter it. - Russia brought its mouthpiece Robert Fisk into Douma to “investigate the attack”. - Fisk “found evidence the alleged attack was a false flag” operation.

    This is absolutely false. Israeli media is not reporting about 16 strikes. Israeli media is reporting that Syrian activists are claiming that strikes took place. Not confirming anything. See for yourself all headlines & breaking news of Israeli media (Heb)

    Footage near , shot earlier this morning, shows what looks like a missile in distance. Sound of jets could be Tornados which reported to have struck targets in area.
