It is now widely known that the Obama administration, with the help of its allies, is planning to launch an offensive against the Assad regime in Syria. The attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, with the help Israel, also seems to be on the cards. In such a situation, where Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have proven to be clear fiascos, the dwindling world economic scene can least afford another major conflict.
Such interventions would not only induce wide scale human loss but would also bring with them adverse economic effects for the world states. And with the recent announcement of joint war games, and one of the biggest, among China, Russia, Iran and Syria, the signal is going strong for forces that wish to intervene in either Syria or Iran.
Iran's Fars news agency reported that more than 90,000 soldiers from the aforementioned 4 countries would take part in the military exercises, making it the largest in regional history. Theses war games will include air defense and missile units as well as ground, air and naval forces and are scheduled for early July.

The US has been on a perpetual-war-for-perpetual-peace game for half a century. They absolutely do not represent me in any form, fashion or way. I dare say that they don't represent many people when their eyes are opened to the facts.
The only way to take back our country is if our troops and police open their eyes and stop supporting these insane criminals. Otherwise, Russia and China may be the world's only hope to stop these monsters.

It is a sad state of affairs growing up with war and then being a small pawn in the middle of it. It has consumed great men and reduced them to blood lust. It has turned their belief of what is right into what is truth.
War is all some know all too well. It supersedes every other brace in our understanding of life without it. Till one day it is all you know how to do, and so you crave it. The tragic tale of war is only brought to the ears of those who would not see it nor experience it. Their innocence will be their undoing in their feable attempt to bring humanity to a action like war that has no place for it.
Yet men charge in without full understanding of what war really represents, because they have yet to fully experience it. Nor have men awakened to the awe of a chaos within a war that embraces no reigns of solace.
There are no true victors in war, and all are victims.
This isnt a quote from a famous author, or a brave patriot, nor a founding father or politician. It is a quote from a weary humbled survivor.
It comes from me.

Don't mix up impressive with large. As far as I am aware all of those countries run conscript schemes and countries with conscript armies tend to have more weaknesses than most developed voluntary armies. How much battle experience has Russia/China/Iran/Syria had over the last 2 decades, well next to none when compared with NATO warmongers like the US and the UK.
They might be large but they certainly ain't better than us. I wouldn't like an all out war but I can bet you NATO would win unless the nukes come out then we all lose.
