What nonsense. Russia took Bush's measure in 2002 when they began a very decided retooling of their military and significantly increasing their military budget.

I think you should shelve your blood thirstiness, Russia has nukes too if you want to have fantasies about things being erased. Also, here's an education.

Syria continues to foster good relations with its traditional allies, Iran and Russia. Other countries that presently maintain good relations with Syria include China, North Korea, Angola, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador,[2] Nicaragua,[3] Brazil,[4] Guyana,[5] India,[6][7][8] South Africa,[9][10] Tanzania,[11] Pakistan,[12] Armenia,[13] Argentina, Belarus, Tajikistan,[14] Philippines,[14] Uganda,[14] Zimbabwe,[14] and others.[15] From among the Arab League states, Syria continues to have good relations with Iraq, Egypt (after 3 July 2013), Algeria, Kuwait,[16] Lebanon and Oman.[17][18][19]

The Russians aren't going to use nuclear weapons and neither will we. Their conventional forces could not sustain high intensity combat longer that two weeks. Then they would surrender or be destroyed. Most of the countries on your list also have good relations with Assad's opponents. Your list is meaningless.

Yes, of course they have good relations with Assad's opponents, that's entirely irrelevant. Stop slobbering over the prospects of war with Russia. It's not going to happen. Russia will expel the belligerents from Syria however, wanna bet? Also, in your lesson was the obvious example that Syria is an ally, not a client, whatever that foolish USFP talking point was intended to convey.

Sorry, but your silly provocation is without effect. ("Slobbering?" Really?) The Russians lack the means to prevail in Syria.

Wrong, when the dust settles, Syria remains a Russian ally.

Once again, you make a slander against this country, and once again I challenge you to back it up with facts. Every time I have done that, you have been unable to answer. I want to give you every chance to show just how weak your game is. I am always happy to see people reveal their animosity toward the United States and their willingness to carry water for Islamic jihadists.

''The pilot'' in downed jet said They had no alert of radar tracking, radio communication, alert of missile strike in the jet. I do not know how Those Russian jets still can manage to fly in the sky.

There are those of us that see Western interference as the most dangerous thing in Syria. Btw, why the focus on Assad, I thought that the Islamic State was the big boogeyman these days. Russia will set the tone in Syria, US hegemony is waning.

We have always been uncivilized. Think what would happen if the power in a major area of the US was lost for a few weeks.
We carry a thin veneer of civilization.
Place yourself in their place, families wiped out by indiscriminate Russian - Syrian bombing, well that veneer you have would in all probability wash away.
You are a very close step away from becoming a barbaric beast.
All based upon circumstances.

Really? It "hasn't been proven" that he gassed people? How about the chlorine gas? Really?

And yes. They should be left to kill each other. We should stay out of it. That is the same thing. We have no business dropping munitions or anything

Yes, the UN confirmed that several different chemical weapons have been used in various places within Syria. They also said it's not for them to determine by whom. And you probably know that I've opposed each of our regime change operations in the ME.

Just reports of it being used from helicopters (a signature of the regime). And the fact that Assad has the stockpile. Why are you so hard pressed to admit that he did it?

Because it hasn't been proven, and the stockpile has been removed.
