as to how i know this. when i first enlisted in the navy back n 86, i was going to be an intelligence specialist. i was trained to recognize all soviet warships, their weapons and ranges, and their radars and their ranges.
If what you say is correct why did Adm. Zimwult say in 78 that a Naval war with the Soviets would sink ALL of our Carriers in 48 hours.
So we have another armchair quarterback calling the plays. It might help out your cause if you do not offer up quotes that are 40 years old.
I remember right before the Iraq war posters saying how the US would be destroyed...............

Remember how in 02 Russia flew over the U.S. Carrier Group, and FAXED in the pictures directly to the Carrier's Admiral's office, Do I need to show Youtube video of Iran's videoing of the U.S. Carrier, So don't give me that (40 year old tech is now better crap.) The D.O.D. knew very well in 91 AND 03 that Iraq had old tech, thats why they attacked, lets sit back and see how Syria will react to an attempted attack, with the massive amounts of Modern Russia weapon the have, I''m putting my money on the U.S.-Mil getting their tails handed to them conventionally, and then they (U.S. Mil) will launch, either nukes or scalar type weapons, which Russia more advanced once to.
P.S. I really don't think U.S.A. will do an attack, they know what;s better for them, I.M.O. but lets just sit back over the next 10 days and meet back up on this thread, to see who will win this argument.:loledit on 5-9-2013 by ATSWATCHER because: (no reason given)edit on 5-9-2013 by ATSWATCHER because: (no reason given)

No offense but you can not back up with proof what you are saying. Take a good hard look at my ATS handle. Many people can not tell the difference between truth and fact.
Personal truth is subjective the facts are not. You do not deal in facts you deal in truth. Like I said earlier before the last Iraq war we had many posters dealing in personal truths not facts.edit on 5-9-2013 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

Nice ship, well what did you aspect, how many ships has the US send so far? I think the last ACC was one ship to many.
I don't think this will end badly, at this point i'm just thinking that we are heading indeed for a cold war scenario. Something to distract.
I do think Syria is key in a series of unfolding events, but where it lies, time will tell.

So why would Russia be sending SSBN's - who do they plan to nuke?
Putin really wants a war by the sound of it!

I hope you are wrong because I for one never want the lies of religion crammed down my kids throats. We will never have peace on Earth as long as there is Religion. It is poison for the soul.
Even though that's way off topic, can you clarify or elaborate on that, in a rational way..?
Are you familiar at all with the teachings of Jesus, Darkmask, like the sermon on the mount for example or any of the parables?
Got I hate this kind of ignorance when I see it cropping up on the net.

The navy has the capability to stop any deployed anti ship missile with SeaRAM. The Brahmos II is a joint Russian-Indian development so it's actually easier to get information on it. It's not operational yet.
I can assure 100% that U.S.A. has absolutly NOTHING, that can stop the SS-22/27, exept U.S. Scalar weapons which Russia has better of, please show and proove, Iremember how Stellar X used to put you in check with facts back in 08, you just sound like you know what your talkin about, but your just another U.S. Fan-boy, just kick back and lets see if U.S.A. gets away "trying" to bomb another innocent President/Country this time.edit on 5-9-2013 by ATSWATCHER because: (no reason given)

I think Russia, in particular, has had enough of the US's shenanigans, and Obama's craptastic handling of this whole affair just makes the US look weak. If Russia sees a chance to take some potshots at the US -- and to do so with international law on its side -- I think Putin would jump at the chance.edit on 5-9-2013 by MrInquisitive because: (no reason given)

Obama, has been convinced by his joint chiefs that an attack on Syria without military retaliation from the Russkies is possible. He has additionally been assured by the hawks, representing RAND corporation, Raytheon and GD+ Lockheed (drooling to test heir weapons in this conflict), that should the slimy Russkies respond, our boys and girls in the navy will steam right over them like there where never there.
The President is thus, in all his feebleminded wisdom, sure that he can push the button on "Bombs away" and if things go wrong he can always invoke executive directive 51, which grants him dictatorial powers and unlimited time in the WH.
He is in a win, win situation. 'Frankeinsteins monster'-Kerry, Hagel and the rest of these war hawks knows this and are now spreading the propaganda about "we will just lob a few cruise missiles on assads head" tall tales.

The US and its leaders have gotten so used to running roughshod over second- and third-tier countries that it thinks it can do anything, and doesn't consider Russia to be a real actor/factor in this situation. I think they are quite wrong on this point, and they will rudely be disabused of this notion should they try to illegally attack Syria, without any real international consensus or backing. Heck, even Ban Ki-Moon, the Sec. General of the UN, who has essentially been a US stooge up to this point, is saying that any attack on Syria would be wrong and illegal.
