I just don't get it.  Vasily Kashin is an "analyst".  Doesn't that infer the use of logic?  If it was a minor repair to an old helicopter then why not fix it in Syria?  If it was "old" then there would plenty of highly qualified mechanics in Syria.  If it was minor then the parts could have been sent by overnight delivery for less than shipping a whole helicopter.

S orry, Vasily but your analysis appears to lack logic.

JJ, 
If you wish to claim that Israel has stolen the Golan heights, then you would have to claim that America stole it's land for the Native Americans t he Anglo Saxons stole England form the Romans who stole it form the Celts. Arabic people stole some of their land form the Israelites who of course stole it form the Arabic tribes of the time. The point is that every country currently in this world has taken land form someone else. The fact that they took the land in a war they started but were provoked into but Syria is of little consequent to most of the people of the world. The thing is that in war someone wins and someone loses and the loser usually has to give up rights or land to the winner. While I personal feel that the Middle East as a whole needs to grabbed and thrown in a lake to cool off, it wouldn't help as long as everyone keeps thinking of it as a religious war instead of the power grab it is by both sides.In the end to the victor goes the spoils and we need to keep our collective noses out of it.Signed,A Sudent Of History

Russia and China are the real superpowers.  The USA has resorted to desperate fabrications, 'forced regime changes' and manipulating the spineless Ban kimoon and the UN to their whims to show the masses of whatever 'power' they have left.  US debt to China: $ 6.2 Trillion.

No need to listen to these western hypocrites.  Russia and China are way beyond them..... Russia needs to be more assertive and aggressive. 

the term whistle blower i thought came from the police ie blowing their whistle when in pursuit of a criminal .Whatever julian is'nt the threat to US security their lies & deception can't be blamed on anyone not julian

Yes Russia is a weak country and becoming weaker. Due to the immense corruption and poor human rights all talented people will leave the country eventually.  

Russia needs to be more assertive and aggressive in its foreign policy. It holds a lot of chips and can use them. It needs to play the same game the US is playing. it also needs to expose US dirty laundry in Syria/Iran.

I see you "Trolls" from the Jewish Internet Defence Force" are back and posting
the same thing over a over, as if the world believes Israel who tells a new lie
everyday.  Seems like you guys get upset when people don't believe the lies
and propaganda Israel pushes every day. Israel isn't trying to make the people of Syria free, they are trying to invade Syria and install a puppet government (with the help of the USA), cause you are afraid of Syria, because you stole part of the country of Syria's land (the golan heights), and Israel bombed Syria's nuclear reactor  Israel has to topple Assad cause they are afraid one day he will pay them back.  So Israel has to lie, cheat, steal
do anything to destroy Syria so people, and history won't know the truth.
Just like Israel is doing genocide on the people of the West Bank and Gaza
Strip, and they think people in the world don't know that either.  Not to
mention Israel for years trying to destroy Iran. Well it's too late Israel the cat is out of the bag and everyone knows your crimes. The only threat to peace
in the Middle East is Israel, they are the real Nazi's

You never learn (unregistered) wrote in #6 When will you learn Russia, that we Americans are superior and smarter than you in every way?  ********** ******************** ******************** ******** You wouldn't be the first arrogant empire in history to end in ruins.

What has been clearly shown in this instance is that British insurers simply cannot be trusted and also that they are controlled politically by their government. This is essentially nothing new, as the close links between insurers and the British government are well known. With a ‘group’ deal existing under the table between them to enact suitable laws domestically to effectively compel and harvest commercially the British population for financial reward in return for political ‘support’. The same goes for pensions, banking - All simply not to be trusted, not only by the British people themselves, but more importantly by us and other international players also outside of the western colonial club. Indeed this should serve as both a perfect advert and impetus for us to continue apace with a financial centre, so that we can not only avoid these unscrupulous untrustworthy British services, but additionally can offer true trustworthy financial services for those who wish a superior product. The world is now ripe for financial competition built on solid BRICS; competition that offers real alternatives to these untrustworthy and sometimes politically controlled unscrupulous British products and services.

Obama's next threat to Vladimir Putin will be to charge him with "racism".  Putin is "racist" for not being intimidated by Obama's snarls and glares.   Always works with white Americans.

If Obama does use the "racist bomb" against Russia, the brainwashed Americans will be driven into an anti-Russian frenzy.

Why does not Russia insure its own ships?The present situation makes Russia extre mely vulnerable

I have finally lost all hope in Russia.

RUSSI A, THE GIANT WITH NO HEART.

Wow, now these Jewish Internet Task Force guys are one here posting
comments attacking Russia and especially Mr. Putin.  They are trying to make
it look like "This is what most people's opinion is" by flooding the sight with
comments slandering Russia.  Israel wants this war so bad I think they are
paying them bonus money to flood the web and leave comments now.  That
is Israel for you, always fighing a propaganda war, but like the boy that cried
wolf, nobody believes them anymore LOL   So if you losers click the minus
sign 500 times on my comments, that just lets me know what losers you really
are, oh and liars too, seems to be what Zionists do best, the world is wise
to you guys now.

russia has been reduced to a miserable state like pakistan.. next they will bomb russians and russia will not respond and will talk about transparency, cooperation and partnership..like pakistanis do everytime NATO blows some pakistanis with american Drones.. ))
 Its pathethic how russia is weak.. putin is a traitor as i have always said.. russian oligarchs control the politics, ..putin is a puppet just as medvedev was.. there is no more hidding the fact! ..
 USA runs supreme.. there is no stopping them.. next is iran and disintegration of russia.. sorry russia.. you had your chance to defend yourself.. history does not give second chances.. being stupid and not able to think strategically is very costly in our world.. it means destruction of entire nations.. unfortunatelly for russia you have the worst and most traitorous leaders in the world-brezhnev, stalin(because the idiot did nothing to prepare for the hitler slaughter that everybody knew was coming!!!!), gorbachov, yeltsin, putin, medvedev..all talk, no action.. So sad for the russians, i really love the nation and the people..but you are doomed with such spineless traitors who humiliate you as if you were some minor nation like portugal or romania.. )) lol.. 

You can clearly see the U.S. encirclement of Russia is in fully wing and Russia’s freedom of movements has been severely curtailed. The fact the U.S can stop not only this ship from reaching its destination but that the U.S feels it has the prerogative to comment and monitor the movements of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet- as thought the Russians must speak to the U.S before doing anything at all- is clear to this full encirclement of Russia. I think the NATO so-called transit via Russia itself is also going on but nobody is saying anything about it. This is shocking state of affairs and it is hard to ignore it.

Sirs, Then the US stops cargo more near , inside Baltic, inside Black sea, inside Caspean sea, inside Veladivostok. US wants all that bonanza until Russia goes back into its historical boarders at fifteenth century: inside the princehood of Moscow.

@Tomasz
Exactly! Ask Serbia how Kosovo was stolen from them while "friendly" Russia barked in UN. Not to mention the sheer anger of China when US openly bombed their Embassy in Belgrade. 

With friend like Russia Syria does not need an enemy
