Washington – The Obama administration says Russia is sending attack helicopters to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and is warning about a dramatic escalation in the Arab country’s 15-month conflict.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the delivery represents the “latest information.” She says the U.S. is concerned as the helicopters “will escalate the conflict quite dramatically.”
She is calling instead for Moscow to help the U.S. push forward a political transition plan for Syria.
Clinton was speaking Tuesday at the Brookings Institution, a liberal-oriented research and policy organization.
Russia has consistently said it would not condone the use of outside forces to end the conflict and has said that it would not supply arms that would aid the government in quelling the uprising.
Russia couldn’t care less about what Clinton says. Russia needs Iran. Syria is the front line of Iran. If control of Syria changes hands Iran loses control. That’s bad for Russian oil interests. That’s the whole story. Russia will play the UN game of making believe it cares about human life. Russia will explain in polite words how Syria needs to conduct its own affairs. And then Russia will send attack helicopters and whatever it takes to protect Russian interests.
Sadly, this is the way most countries in the world operates. One day, Hashem will expose all these lies to the world and just like Yosef’s brothers reacted, there will be no good answer.
so true, Russia is a disgusting country
I wonder which navi thought of the name russia
War is an evil, and unfortunately very profitable business. Politics has nothing to do with it. Follow the money. It will lead to both sides of the Syrian struggle.
With friends like Putin…
