Russia is all talk, they will never defend Syria, look at Iraq and Libya

Yes.

OP,look forward to continuing )))

war between USA and Russia

This is true. Russia only cares about the near-far policy & has practiced it mostly for hundreds of years. They are much better at using proxies.


Historically they are not good at projecting power with their military far from their borders (Afghanistan) & were only able to advance against the Germans after the U.S. & GB softened them up a lot.

Monsieur also will get the shit

No fool. Russia has contract with Syria for their ports which Russia NEEDS to keep the West and Israel at bay. Russia just like every other Nation is targeted for destruction by the EU using Americas military and Intelligence for the bankers of England.

There is also alot of Gas and Oil under the Sea off of Syria and Russia is queued up to get some of the contracts to develop it as long as they can keep Turkey and the EU in check long enough.

Russia controls the main gas pipeline that fuels the EU a weaker EU means a stronger Russia.

: Russia is all talk, they will never defend Syria, look at Iraq and Libya:

This is exactly why they will defend them.They trusted the West on Libya with the no fly zone and they were lied to.

Russia had a very large footprint in Libya that they ended up losing because they believed.

Thats France gone first them. Habit of surrendering.

France LOL

American Hypocrisy running a mock in this Post :D

exactly

What countries are in between the USA and Russia?

Russia is unfortunately at a bit of a military disadvantage once you get out of their sphere. Syria is at the edge of that sphere and there is no land route that doesn't involve invading somebody.

But I don't think that is why they never seem to help their so called friends. The real reason is that they are just like the rest of us. They are tied into this global economy and nobody wants the party to end. Europe likes Russia's gas and china likes their oil. Russia and China like US grain. We're all in a big game together and nobody is really going to let some podunk puny country ruin that.

You didn't see the US go rushing in to help Georgia did you? That actually would have been a terrible military expedition. Russia is a mighty beast in her sphere. Invincible practically.

If Russia really wanted to I guess they could ship 50,000 troops into Syria and declare that Russia will defend Syria to the bitter end. That alone would preclude any possibility of war. Nobody wants to fight another heavy weight over small potatoes. If Russia does that though then the US and Europe start making life harder for Russia in the big fun game of money.

So both sides talk big and in the end one side gets what they want and the other lets it happen because the money is good.

Lets not forget New Zealand sitting quietly in the corner over there getting madder and madder. They might explode and attack Syria. YOu never know but they are up to something for sure.
