..and Obama just handed Iran nuclear capabilities.  Any doubt that Obama is out to destroy both Israel and the United States?? Anyone else see a huge possibility that an attack on U.S. will prevent the 2016 elections and Obama will remain in control??  Nothing nor anyone has stopped this president.  God help us!

Russian military build-up in Syria ‘unprecedented,’ officials say


U.S. officials are expressing growing concern about Russia's military build-up in Assad-controlled Syria, calling it "unprecedented" -- with one telling Fox News it compares in scope to Vladimir Putin's incursion into Crimea.

"It's beginning to look like Crimyria," the official told Fox News.

Two U.S. officials who have reviewed the latest intelligence told Fox News that satellite imagery reveals more flights of massive Russian An-124 "condor" military cargo planes landing in Syria. They are offloading troops, including just under 50 Russian marines, and armored vehicles.

U.S. officials said the Russian activity in Syria is unlike any they've seen since the start of the Syrian civil war four years ago.

"This is definitely a build-up straight out of Russia's military doctrine," said one official.

The Russian government is not denying the build-up.

Russia's Foreign Ministry disclosed early Wednesday that Russian military experts indeed are assisting forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in that country's long-running civil war. ...

...But the build-up is escalating despite Secretary of State John Kerry calling his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov over the weekend to voice "concerns" about Russian military presence.

In a statement released Saturday after Kerry's call with Lavrov, the State Department warned that Russia's continued actions could "further escalate the conflict" and "risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL Coalition operating in Syria."...

I don't think Russia will attack the US of A but they will back anyone in the M-E that will. No one in the ENTIRE world fears the US of A including the Girl Scouts! No disrespect to the GS intended!

Are you seriously asking this question on this board?

The same thing was said about Clinton canceling elections, as was said about Bush canceling elections, as is now said about obama canceling elections.  No, I don't see that happening without a whole lot of bloodshed which will make your average, garden variety DUmmie very sorry they ever said the word "revolution".

Also, even though we have been weakened, the US Armed Forces is still not an organization anyone wants to cross swords with.  So any attack, no matter what obinga's predilections towards the country might be, will be met - he won't have a choice.

At least the Russians actually HAVE a Syria policy, and theirs even makes sense.
