Russia Ready To Send Paratroopers To Syria

 The recent announcement by Obama to fully back the “rebels” in Syria is now leading to a Russian response. Not only is the Obama regime hell bent on taking down Assad, they are also hell bent on defending ISIS. Yes, the US government funded and trained soldiers of ISIS. Now that the USA is backing the devilish force openly, a larger scale proxy war is on the horizon, which will potentially lead to World War 3.

The Russian Airborne Troops are ready to assist Syria in countering terrorists, if such a task is set by Russia’s leaders, commander of the Airborne Troops Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov told reporters on Tuesday.

“Of course we will execute the decisions set forth by the country’s leadership, if there is a task at hand,” Shamanov said, in response to a Syrian reporter’s question about the readiness of the Russian Airborne Troops to render assistance to Syria’s government in its battle against terrorism.

Shamanov noted that Russia and Syria have “long-term good relations.” “Many Syrian experts, including military, received education in the Soviet Union and in Russia,” Shamanov added.

In other words, two (or three, or four) can play at the “use ISIS as an excuse to go to war with our real enemies” game and just like the US can send in trainers and “forward spotters” to protect its interests in Iraq, so too can Russia send in a few airborne troops to protect its interests in Damascus. 

It’s now only a question of political will and as we’ve outlined on a few occasions recently, it’s not entirely clear how much longer Vladimir Putin is willing to support Bashar al-Assad in the face of the debilitating, Saudi-engineered slump in crude prices and the biting economic sanctions imposed on the Kremlin by Europe.
