A Russian military unit has arrived in Syria, according to Russian news reports, a development that a United Nations Security Council source told ABC News was "a bomb" certain to have serious repercussions.
Russia, one of President Bashar al-Assad's strongest allies despite international condemnation of the government's violent crackdown on the country's uprising, has repeatedly blocked the United Nations Security Council's attempts to halt the violence, accusing the U.S. and its allies of trying to start another war.

Indeed, this is interesting. I guess it's our (as in the U.S./Allies) move. Getting involved or rather publicly admitting involvement in this could indeed kick off a much bigger war IMO. WWIII anyone?

I think Obama has gotten a talkin' to from someone and he'll be staying out of Syria. With is failures in Libya and Egypt, I think the U.S. and U.K. are silently backing this Russian play. They know that Assad is an animal, but they have now had 2 firm examples that what replaces the beast is light years worse. If anything, I suspect that there will be U.S./U.K./Russian cooperation with SF Operations.

This complicates things for TPTB. Now the plans to intervene are going to have to be reevaluated. This also means that if true they are in a position to assist Iran if necessary.
