@AlexanderWell, we shall see if this is true or not. However, you cannot compare two completely separate cases and say the are exactly the say. Anything is possible. Either way, what does Syria have to hide? They are behind closed doors, their is a dispute happening and they say, "nobody look, we will take care of this". When we all see the fighting has only got worse. I would think if I was Assad and an outside force offered to come in and bring order to my country, I would welcome it. Does not matter who. Hell, let Russia or China do it but, they would rather sit back and let the genocide continue. Similarly when they were allies with the Nazis until they Nazis turned on them.Then even maybe a friendship could be made out of it. If not, I tell them to get out afterwards.

The world will be a better place with USA, Israel, NATO countries and their puppets completely destroyed, never to rise again. USA never experienced bombs falling on its soil and killing, maiming and displacing its citizens in the millions during the World Wars and other wars USA started against defenseless people throughout the world. Hopefully, this time around, US citizens will experience bombs falling on their homes, farms, infrastructure, hospitals, schools, churches, and taste what they have been dishing out to other nations for over two centuries. Hahahahahahahaha ! Are you kidding me??? The US would turn you into a piece of ash the moment you dropped a bomb on our soil. No one is afraid of the ignorant, peasant nation of China and their 1 billion sheep. You are scum and always will be.

Bla, bla bla. All emty talk. Use your mind and do not let the lie factory corporate media impress you. Yes, this is all emty media talk. Look at the picture above for example. Analise it. It is the type of black smoke which comes out of burning tyres. Yet is is being described as fighting. Mind hypnotic control is through media. That is why the official Syrian TV chanel has been barred from transmitting on Arab chanels.

Good for Russia for finally helping its friends out in a time of need. Though a small gesture. The possibility of a escalation of hostilities which could effect economic/political relations between Russia and US not even mentioning China and the US, seems to have hit a chord. Go Russia Go!!!!
Come on China start selling Bonds if the US attacks. make them afraid.
The Russian occupiers, their authoritarian government and the whole country of China are nothing more than oppressive, third world countries. Believe me the US is not scared of any of you. You are irrelevant in this world. And China, maybe you should tell your men to put their small penises away and quit making babies. That way, you might be able to actually feed your peasant population.

UN peacekeeping (read warring) chief should not offend our inteligence. Shame on you mister for twisting words! Any given country is in a state of civil war when the warring parties belong to that same country and when no outside influence is at play. When people within one or several of the beligerant parties are not citizens of that country but rather hired mercenaries from all over the world and when one or several foreign countries provide military and logistic help to any of the parties, well, that cannot be called "civil war". Much rather the outside forces staged an internal bloody incident in order to further their agenda... A time tested strategy. But nothing surprizes me any more, words no longer matter to those calling the shots, they are just instruments for mass deception.

Not only is Russia an evil empire, they are a bunch of butcher too. News is they just sent several helicopters inside Syria. What kind of sick govt would support a govt that would use children as shields and tortured to deter their parents from fighting. EVEN BABIES. Russia will now go down in history with the Nazis..That is a heavy burden for several generation after your screw-ups to carry.

This is no surprise at all. This is Russia foreign policy at its finest (which is not much). NATO wanted to step in and stop the fighting. Russia did not and vetoed it. If you could not see this coming, you got your head stuck in the sand. So, the majority of the Syrian people are going to get their freedom by taking it. Freedom is always not free. I wish them well and I am sure their hatred toward Russia will be added to the other countries of the world.

This RT journalist she is reporting like she was working for CNN or BBC.
I don't know how RT recruite journalists. Most are western agent. Honestly her reportage is like BBC journaliste. She is calling those colonial countries international communauty.  Words matter in this conflict. May be she looking to go work for BBC or CNN and preparing her resume for that. The man who said Syria is now in middle of civil  is European I believe from France. What kind credibility should we give to someone like that? That India / South Africain she is one of the most corrupted  woman in the face of earth.
