Atrocity's were happening in Iraq,and Libya. For you to sweep aside those atrocity's,because of your bias for the United States,gives those who died in ANY of those country's,a silent voice. A meaningless voice.No atrocity's in Iran ? NONE in Syria? Please....................
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration says Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime and is warning about a dramatic escalation in the Arab country's 15-month conflict.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the delivery represents the "latest information." She says the U.S. is concerned as the helicopters "will escalate the conflict quite dramatically."
She is calling instead for Moscow to help the U.S. push forward a political transition plan for Syria.

Yes Turkey has wanted Damascus sense ww1 and it seems it is full blown civil war now news.yahoo.com... form the link
Clinton, as well, warned about a massing of Syrian forces near Aleppo over the last two days, saying such a deployment could be a "red line" for Syria's northern neighbor Turkey "in terms of their strategic and national interests."
"We are watching this very carefully," she said.
hole new ball game, you wanted WW3 now you got it, how can i say that.... you will see
Syria is now in a full-scale civil war, UN peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said on Tuesday, as UN observers reported they were fired on as they tried to enter a town feared to be the focus of a new massacre.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Washington would find it hard to support the extension of the observer mission beyond next month if the government of President Bahar al-Assad's regime continued to show "contempt" for a UN-backed ceasefire that was supposed to go into effect from April 12.

Why is everyone yapping WWIII here? Russia and China are not as crazy and psychopathic as the US, UK and others in their alliance. So peace out. Worst would be limited action and if Dictator has the right mind and ethics then he himself will pack his bags and spend rest of his days in asylum. End of the story.

This report is baseless and just a speculation.
Russia does not have grit left to fight any major war let alone the WWIII.
Russia does not have any weapons for its own forces so from where the weapons for Syria will come from.
Russia will back off once all its diplomatic and political moves are exhausted.
Russia might offer asylum to Assad and family to remove him from power, given some friendly party takes to the helm in Syria. Assad is not a fool, he will take his billions and move to Moscow to retire in comfort and peace.

So what can Russia do to stop the US. Military action is not advisable given the tech and tally advantages that US has.
In WWII (this is my own analysis), the Germans advanced so fast because one of the main reasons was the Panzer tank was far superior to T-26 that Soviets fielded. Panzer could pick T-26 from far also and worst T-26 shell could not penetrate the Panzer. That's why so quick encirclements were taking place as Panzers would run a riot on the Soviet armor and Generals like Guedarian made their big names. There were many other main reasons also but on ground the story changed only when T-34 came into picture and that was not till the battle of Moscow. Soviets had a KV-1 heavy tank but far few in numbers and were not deployed for first few months until Leningrad outskirts.
Similar technology situation is Russia in today also. RuAF is not match for USAF with F-22s. You want to go nuclear and blow up the human progress of last 100 years? Go ahead but that would be insane and evil.edit on 12-6-2012 by victor7 because: (no reason given)
