If
reports coming from YNet News are accurate,
the Syrian crisis just became more complex and more dangerous. The
report would be great news for the Assad government, however, as it
suggests that, in addition to providing Syria with six
new MIG 31 jets and providing satellite images with the SAA, the Russians will also be delivering an expeditionary force of Russian soldiers.
If the report is accurate, it represents a dramatic new step by Russia
in support of the Assad government and a major step forward for human
rights in Syria. However, it is also a move that could potentially
result in the direct confrontation between two nuclear powers.
If such a confrontation does result, it is important to remember that it
is not the Syrian government nor is it the Russia government who is
ultimately responsible. The United States, Israel, Turkey, and NATO have
all trained, directed, armed, and supported ISIS/”rebels” since the
very beginning of the Syrian crisis and, because of this, it is they who
bear the responsibility for the fallout from the terrorist actions and
the attempt to support them through military force.
