Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Presenting The Russian Naval Base In Tartus, Syria, Or Good Luck UN Security Council
2012-02-04
Zero Hedge branches away from his usual economics beat to present some interesting history on the Soviet, er, Russian naval facility in Tartus, Syria. We need confirmation of the basic facts but it serves as a survey of what the Russians are doing, and thus what the Russians think is important to them in the Middle East.

#1  They seemed quite steady on maintaining that base no matter what and I quote "You may have Israel and attack Iran, but never mess with Syria. Our Naval base is there."

I think given the current administrations tinkering (and flubbering up) they ought to take a break from it now. Not all the debris has settles and nothing is going well.
