No New S-300 Air-Defense System To Syria Says Russia — But Maybe Old Ones
An anonymous reader writes "Yesterday, Russia's Foreign Minister declared that Moscow would not sell any new surface-to-air missiles to Syria, although there is a catch. He said old contracts are being honored. Could old contracts just be code for an already signed, but undisclosed deal for the S-300? Lavarov certainly left the door open: '...when questioned in particular about the S-300, his reply was not clear if the "earlier contracts" were for the S-300 or something else.' With Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu going to the Black Sea town of Sochi early next week for talks with President Vladimir Putin, it seems they may have something to talk about."
Bah!
Let the goddamned savages murder each other, and then Allah can sort them out. The more they're fighting and slaughtering each other like animals, the less they'll bother us. We should only intervene to keep the fighting going, and to ensure that no faction gets overwhelmingly strong than another.
Syria is currently perfect -- it's a self-cleaning oven.
