Despite Israeli protests, Russia won't halt arms sale to Syria


Haaretz reported on Friday that PM Benjamin Netanyahu had asked Russian PM Vladimir Putin to cancel the sale of long-range surface-to-sea cruise missiles to the Syrian Army.


Despite Israel's objections, Russia will not cancel its sale of advanced missiles to Syria, the Kremlin announced on Sunday.

Haaretz reported on Friday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had asked his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to cancel the sale of long-range surface-to-sea cruise missiles to the Syrian Army.


"Lately, some Israeli media outlets have been actively disseminating information distorting Russia's position on the implementation of its obligations to Syria, including in the sphere of military and technical cooperation," Prikhodko said. "I would like to stress that the Russian Federation honors all the agreements that were previously signed between Russia and Syria."

I don't want to see a war.... Russia is keeping the US and Israel in check. We need a balance of power.... Will this world ever decide to do that??

Ahh yes I do think Putin oh sorry I mean Medvedev is right not to renegade on the deal =] , seems Comrade Putin is very upset with the West

Putin slams West for deceiving Russia

"At time of the withdrawal from East Europe, the NATO secretary general promised the USSR it could be confident that NATO would not expand over its current boundaries," Putin said. "And where is it? I asked them [NATO officials] about this. They have nothing to say. They deceived us in the rudest way." Russia-U.S. relations face a lot of problems, Putin said. "We had just come to terms that there would be no missiles [NATO missile defense systems] in Poland...but it was suddenly announced that the same [missile defense system deployment] was planned for other European countries." "I think it [the Munich speech] was useful. Because I said the truth... They [Western countries] told us one thing, but did another. They spoofed us in the full sense of this world," the premier said



However bless his cotton socks he does seem to have a soft spot for Obama.
Seems the roubles will be rolling in with the new pipeline with China..

Phew busy busy busy... Go Putin Go Putin

Russia is simply fulfilling it's agreements. Israel gets weapons from the US in order to protect her borders. Why should weapons be denied to any country that wishes to protect it's sovergnty. Seems Israel wishes to keep her neighbors weak.

You do realise that Israel would go poof if the Russian's said so, right?

Russia is not to be triffled with, there are two powers in the world that could go toe to toe with Russia NOW (United States and China). And, Russia is just starting to get their military might up to par with their previous levels.

If anything, the US might just step in and keep Israel in cheack, as the United Sates CAN NOT afford a war with Russia now.
