    Not this time...

    The Alawites operate like the mafia in Syria and Lebanon.. They are above the law and heavily into drug smuggling and kidnapping for ransom.

    Too much blood and treasure has gone into ' Israel's security '. Let Israel fight its own wars.
    I thought you liked rocket attacks?

    The war in Syria is NOT about Israel's security.. Its an ethnic cleansing of Sunnis.

    Iran wants a Shia corridor all the way to Sidon.. They have been settling Shia from Iran, Iraq and Lebanon in Syria for about 3 years.

    Well, Iran has a Shia majority.. and they are the big dog in the neighborhood. Sunni versus Shia is a very big deal in Iran, Iraq and Syria.. not important elsewhere.

    That is the most curious aspect Syria was, and still is, ruled by Alawites who are the Shia minority. Whilst in Iraq the Sunni minority ruled until Saddam was ousted, yet both were part of the Ba'athist nationalist movement. I've never really understood that, it seemingly makes little sense.

    And Baathism was introduced by a Christian.

    It's about preventing the destruction of Syria's capacity to oppose ' Israel ' in the event of a US/Israeli attack on Syria.

    The sectarian crap is not at the top of the agenda for the Russians.

    ' Jew ' and ' Israeli ' are not synonymous, scab maggot.

    To late; because it's now inevitable.
    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    Right.. The Russians probably don't care about sectarian crap but Assad and Iran do care.

    Did you see where the Russians just found 40 tons of chemical weapons in Syria?
