Russia is sending armed troops to Syria amid escalating violence there, United States military officials told NBC News Friday, in a move certain to frustrate Western efforts to put pressure on the regime of President Bashir Assad.
Moscow has sent a ship carrying a small contingent of combat forces to guard Russia’s deep-water port and military base at the Syrian city of Tartus, the US officials said.
At least Putin has the guts to fight the western bankers and tell the U.S. empire they aren't going to sit idly by while the U.S. military-industrial complex and international energy corporations take over the middle east. As bad a rotten egg as Putin is, at least he believes in his own country and isn't going to stand by or be intimidated by western banking and U.S. monied interests as his foes take control of strategic natural energy resources under false pretenses.
