So, it would appear my earlier addition was taken off the site for viewing by the public. I was saying, that if the free Syrian army, rebels, are stocked, supplied and disembark from a point inside Turkey. A base set up by the U.S. for this purpose. Then why does not Syria take this base out? It would disrupt the rebel’s quite badly. Putting their launce pad in chaos for some months. I fear the response by Turkey to such an outcome would be one of retaliation against Syria and a war would commence between the two. Hence not long before Russia nukes Turkey. Is this why the leader of turkey was invited to Russia recently. Is this the reason why also Syria will not hit this base inside turkey.Taking a step back from all this, back to 9/11 2001. The USA has made it quite clear it intends to not let this happen again on its soil (9/11). So by ridding the cause? That of Shi’a Islam from the middle east, off the map and out of sight would seem to be their agenda?This would include Iran, Syria, Hezbolla in Lebannon, Gaza, Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan. All in some way connected in the mind set of control by Iran. Would it not be considered appropriate that rather than have a few billion humans wiped out in the coming nuclear holacaust between the USA and Russia/China that all got rid of the elephant in the room. Namely Iran and its affiliates. The USA as a nation is wounded, scared by 9/11. An event of enormous proportions ?If Iran cannot see the end game for itself at this point why should Russia protect it ? The USA is not going to back down, its wants blood in retaliation. To re-arrange the middle east completely.It would appear all major sides here. The USA, Russia and China are dancing in circles towards an eventual confrontation that would kill most of us. If Iran cannot see this, it is selfish in denial. And a true enemy of mankind. Maybe the USA Russia China should rid the middle east of this curse and share the spoils after. Sounds better than me and mine being blown to bits. Does it not.

Good news. With the Russians soon leaving Tartus, Assad's regime is encircled from all sides. The fall of Assad is now a matter of time.
------------ --------------You took my screen name but we both seem to agree that with Russia leaving Tartus nobody believes anymore that Assad can win this war. The world powers are preparing for the new Syria.

Enlighte ned One (unregistered) wrote in #9It is becoming obvious to me that Russia is supplying weapons to the rebels. They are all carrying Russia guns. Is this to disrupt the region? Or to help topple Assad?   @>>>> Sure “enlightened one” if they were prevented to supply the long ago bought weapons to the Syrian govt they would be “allowed” to supply weapons to the rebels. How “enlightening” indeed! Now, why don´t you “enlighten” us how did you get the highest rating (+2) for this supreme idiocy you spout here, thus to buy it would make more sense if the both sides supplied in order fuel the fight, which the Zionists do by illegally supplying with weapons the insurgents while at the same time the Zionists try to push a resolution through the UN to ban weapon´s supply to Syria and other “unfriendly” countries? It looks like “enlightened” no matter what the RT would do with the rating system IT WILL always work for your [the enlightened Zionist pc-brigade] favor here ;)

Wow! +2 you say? Do I get a fvcking prize at a certain level? You must be wacked out of your mind. I express an opinion and you go off the deep end. How level headed you must be. I myself don't know the truth, and neither do you. The difference being, I am willing to discuss and listen to different view points without turning into a lunatic. Get ahold of yourself, your tiny closed mind is showing.

Long live the syrian people! You fight for so much more than just your nation's survival against child torturers. Nobody should let war crimes be committed on your soil by USA\UK\Israel\rich puppet arab states.

Putin, how many Syrian civilians have you killed today? Do you think the muslims of the Russian federation and the 1 billion muslims world wide will forgive you for killing 22,000 syrians seeking nothing but freedom. I always used to think it was better to have two super powers but surely Russia like its predecessor is not my choice.  Putin is destroying the future of good relationship between Russia and the muslim world. 90% of muslims are sunni and are not happy with what Iranian backed mafia are doing in the middle east. Turkey is liked by majority of the muslims world wide hence the booming ecoonomy and prestige in the middle east.   Its never to late to save the your image. Get out Assad and his family before you have another bad news in your screen: Gadafi 2.

Turkey has become a very disgusting islamo-fascist country where every citizen must have his own mosque by akp forced sharia law, incl. non-muslems!
And Saudi Arabia, these sneaky Zionists and Qatar are the only “friends” they have (and deserve)!
========== ===========No, they are NATO slaves with the hope of entering EU as a reward. Why do you think U.S support their admission at the dismay of Europe?

To Roland- With your small brain do not try to manipulate the facts. As all other  Turkish,Arabic,Kur dish,Iranian people in the region, we are all against Turkish AKP government's actions against Assad ,But,it is USA who brings this coalition working  together :Qatar,Saudi Arabia,Turkey.You may not wish TR to be in EU, i respect. I also don't want to be in EU as many other Turkish citizens, so that i do not come across idiots like you. You are blaming Turkey,but the  adress is wrong. You have to blame USA but not Turkey.And of course,blame  idiot Turkish citizens who choose AKP to rule in Turkey.For not  visiting Turkey, i respect your choice,but visiting Turkey may break your prejudice.Best Regards,

@roland
I think we may need to save our prayers for Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's  quest to purchase nuclear weapons from Pakistan!
Than again those monkeys are more likely to blow themselves up than launch an attack on Iran.  I mean these despots can't even repair a wheelbarrow nevermind maintaing a nuclear weapon!
