Can someone provide me a link to the original article published by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It is a pretty reputable newspaper, and has a relatively large world wide circulation for a German newspaper. In fact it is more commonly read abroad than Der Spiegel.

I'm not saying youre wrong, I just dont understand what's in it for the Western states. They have enough of a strategic military foothold in the area, it ranks 31st in the world for oil production lower than Columbia and they have little mineral wealth. The only reason I can see for doing this is to stick fingers up at the Russians and the Chinese and that seems a very dangerous and stupid game to play.

"Following modernization, the Russian naval maintenance site in Tartus will become fully-operational," he added. The Navy maintenance site near Tartus is the only Russian foothold in the Mediterranean. Russian navy commanders have long been calling for the expansion and modernization of the Tartus base.
"The base in Tartus will provide all necessary support for the Russian warships which will be engaged in protecting commercial shipping around the Horn of Africa," the official said.
According to the Russian Navy, the naval base in Syria significantly boosts Russia's operational capability in the region because the warships based there are capable of reaching the Red Sea through the Suez Canal and the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar in a matter of days.

Maybe it's like MANOPOLY: You can't starting upping your rents until you own the whole region....

This shouldn't be surprising one bit considering the fact that the religious leaders of FSA stated that killing or massacring Alawite women and children is OK, as seen in the video below:

I guess at the point they own the region and up the rents we could just call it a PANopoly.
