Russia Sends Aircraft Carrier to Syria Link-- he Russian aircraft carrier “Admiral Kuznetsov” is ready to head from Murmansk towards the Mediterranean and the Syrian port of Tartus. The mission comes after Syrian President Bashar Assad said he is open for a Russian base in the area. The “Admiral Kuznetsov”, part of the Northern Fleet and Russia’s only aircraft carrier, will head a Navy mission to the area. The mission will also include the missile cruiser “Moskva” and several submarines, Newsru.com reports.
President Assad in meetings in Moscow this week expressed support to Russia’s intervention in South Ossetia and Georgia. He also expressed interest in the establishment of Russian missile air defence facilities on his land.
The “Admiral Kuznetsov” also last year headed a navy mission to the Mediterranean. Then, on the way from the Kola Peninsula and south, it stopped in the North Sea where it conducted a navy training exercise in the immediate vicinity of Norwegian offshore installations.--

Russia may decide for us whether or not we need more tire guages or to drill here and drill now.

Apparently the US and Poland have agreed to a missile defense system and Russia doesn't like it one bit.

What I do know is that the US vs. Russia would not be good for the rest of the world(nukes). Unless it was strictly conventional weaponery.

russia is a new empire. . they are using their wealth from oil money to dominate the world! russia does not need the u.s anymore. . on that note russia would be foolish to engage in a war directly with the u.s. . if it did happen. . russia would not be able to hang with the worlds true SUPERPOWER!!! THE U.S.A. . . if it did happen. . be prepared boys and girls for a draft!!!!

if u.s and russia go to war . it would be a WORLD WAR! . we would bring it to them (ground forces) . . . we would be vulnerable to missles here n the u.s. . . our allies in europe would not be so lucky. . russia like china does not have a great navy and they dont have the capapbilities to transports mass troops over sea to the u.s

Dude that supossed satellite that we shot down was meant to show countries like China, Russia and rogue countries that our anti-missile defense system is working just fine compared to other countries by far. Just flexin' muscles like they say.

Dude, you can't compare Iraq to Georgia. After the first Gulf War everybody took notice especially China and Russia. That's why China has been building up their military since then.

Yep, just like Vietnam. Our Military killed liked 500,000 of thiers and we lost 50,000 of our troops. If you start something finish it.

We are going to have to be very watchful of Putin. The guy is power hungry and created the Prime Minister position just to stay in power.

Last I heard the Vietcong was extremely scared of our Green Berets because they blended so well with their enviroment.
