WORLD WAR III Title: Russia deploys missile cruiser off Syria coast, ordered to destroy any target posing danger Moscow plans to suspend military cooperation with Ankara after the downing of a Russian bomber by Turkish air forces, Russian General Staff representatives said on Tuesday.

Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva, equipped with the ‘Fort’ air defense system, similar to the S-300, will be deployed off Latakia province's coast. "We warn that every target posing a potential threat will be destroyed,” lieutenant general Sergey Rudskoy said during the briefing. [...]

#3. To: A Pole (#0) Attention Air Force One, take a heading to Damascus, obey strict radio silence ignoring all radio transmissions other than from me and my little hand held CB. Have a pleasant trip. Eli, Eli, nai erchomai Kurios Iesous. #4. To: BobCeleste (#3) (Edited) Attention Air Force One, take a heading to Damascus, obey strict radio silence ignoring all radio transmissions other than from me and my little hand held CB. Seriously, they would know exactly who is coming and embrace guests with the red carpet treatment to claim a diplomatic victory. "Finally they recognize us as partners in war on terror" etc ... Plain judo or rather aikido. Or rather common sense - time to bury hatchet.
