Talk:Russian deployment in Syria

Fall of Mosul
This is what I wrote on Facebook on June 11th, 2014, right after the Fall of Mosul


 * ''Roadmap to #WWIII – or how to avoid one.
 * ''The United Stated and her European minions will now be asked the question:
 * ''Whose side are you on? Are you with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Leviant, formerly known as Al-Qaida in Iraq or against them?
 * ''If you are against ISIS, what are you going to do about it?
 * ''If the US cannot produce a unequivocal, satisfactory and comprehensive answer, then it will be for #Russia, #China, #Iran, #Syria, #Hezbollah and #BRICS to secure world peace and stability.
 * ''As a first step Russia will have to – in cooperation with CIS, SCO & CSTO – liberate #Novorossiya, secure Kiev and pacify #Galicia.
 * ''All fronts of this global campaign of destabilization are now interconnected, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, #Ukraine. Syria and Hezbollah will have to send military advisers to the Donbass front.

Why to 'deploy' in Syria?
Don't know but this counters Western color revolution/Maidan tactics, supporting a government in this case, unlike Ukraine, so something legally more sound. This helps to preserve a tightly managed regime which may be seen as having some affinity to present day Russia, with Russia quite clearly better of in comparison. This gives a market for weapons sales. If this weapons come to use, it will increase oil prices, a major export item. I don't think a major military engagement is an actual plan at this time, or imposing some proper order to the situation; but it may develop in one of those ways in the future, depending on how the West will play this. --Resup (talk) 10:26, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
