Syria has Russia Helios on the way and if war should happen may also have Russian Military as a back up and Turkey will have US military backup according to Clinton.
This won't be a war between Syria vs. Turkey anymore, it will be a war between Russia vs. US now.
And after Russia's mock drill on US soil and everything, something says they were already prepared for this day to come. Wasn't too long ago anyway.
Now, this will get interesting
Russia vs US and start of Nuclear War or WWIII
and so it BEGINS....

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of theese US/Nato offensives against arab countries rely heavily on support from surrounding countries. i.e Turkey alowing NATO to use it's air bases to launch strikes etc.
Why don't countries like Syria & Iran just threaten bio warfare on anyone who assists NATO or even further doesn't come to their aid against NATO.
Iran has major chem & bio weapon stocks & I would guess Syria does too, so simply put out an all points.
The moment outside forces attack us we do not hesitate to unleash everything we have in one hit, if we are going down you are coming with us, just a matter of how many of our planes get to make one pass & how far & wide our missiles can strike.
We will leave wind direction to Allah.
Countries like Turkey would have to think twice or a dozen times before calling for an attack cause they will bear the pain while America etc walk away free & clear.
Why has no one used bio weapons to a major degree yet, honestly they have had decades to prepare and how hard is it to get a couple of glass vials into the US, just go to Mexico and walk across the border, head to the nearest populated area and crack that sucker.

Really are you sure the US would have the balls? What would the retaliation against the US be from Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan the list goes on, complete nuclear annihilation of Syria is going to effect a lot more that just Syria.
I saw how you guys failed as a society during Katrina I have to say chances are you would undergo complete internal melt down before you could even decide who to retaliate against (if they didn't leave a confession that is), care to guess how many vials of roids get into the US every year cause the figure would be huge if you replaced just 1% of those vials with something very nasty I would say the US would be lucky to get off a shot.

Or the smartest move ever made, pawn takes queen, or pawn rapes Queen while her own knights and bishops hold her down. Plus someone needs the balls to step up and call the bluff in the first place.
Same deal with NK why do they need a long range missile all they need is to be able to reach China & Japan & give those 2 the same ultimatum. If America attacks NK, we don't bother with them we come after you so you better keep your friends in check.

2. Russia and China have the missiles and air capability to make the US hurt. Yea, the USA can take on one and have a pretty high success rate but taking on two? That swings the advantage to SCO and their allies.

3. Russia has been looking for a politically viable solution to keep the US ABM from achieving maximum efficieny and looking for ways to counter it. They found it in the Topol-M stealth ICBM which was recently tested and passed all expectations.

4. China has a missile with a range of 5,000 km. The US is only 4,600km away. That puts the US West Coast in range for Chinese retaliation.

So you saying Russia and China can't do anything is wrong. Dangerously wrong.

Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the country's military levels have been raised after Syria shot down a Turkish plane that strayed over its territory.
He told parliament if Syrian troops threatened Turkey's borders, they would be seen as a military threat.
After a special session in Brussels, Nato expressed its condemnation of Syria's attack as well as its strong support for Turkey.

Syria is not that weak when it comes to military power, plus with the right aid and sponsorship they may be able to even the odds a little.
With a purchasing power of $107,400,000,000, and about 2,500,000,000 bbl/Day of oil, they can "acquire" some pretty cool stuff from their friends to the east.
I would honestly love to see any arab kicking some western ass just to show us that we just CANT do everything and anything we want outside our own borders like we've been doing the last 30 or so years...
Lets see where all these fun and games takes us...
At least something interesting is finally about to happen - or not - its always all show and no go anyways, but I keep my hopes up that this time will be different.

This has the potential to get out of hand, as there have been reports of British troops in Syria. Also, Russia and China are allied with Syria's Assad.

There is a difference between breakdown of a local government of which Katrina was, and you know a obvious bio-weapons threat that your suggesting that whatever country does. And frankly if there was such an attack, the other countries would probably have to deal with radioactive cloud because the people of the US won't care. Most likely they would probably be too busy dealing with the bioweapon going across the world. There would probably be some gnashing of teeth but if there was an attack the strategic calculus which has been keeping the world at peace from wars with major powers would demand a nuclear attack and US still has its Cold War era style continuation of government and other SHTF plans to keep leadership intact in case of a worst case scenario.
It may not be the US firing the nukes either at first depending on how the thing spreads, it might be Russia or France.

North Korea already its major card, its Seoul and its range of their long distance artillery, the rocket game is them just trying to tighten the screws to get more international aid so they support their crazypants government and insane military spending levels.
