| Russia warns Britain, U.S. to tread carefully on Syria |
| 2013-08-27 |
| [UPI] MOSCOW, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Britain, the United States and other governments Monday against military action in Syria without U.N. approval. Russian humour, so very subtle. In what was called an "emergency" news conference, Lavrov suggested video showing what appeared to be a poison gas attack last week on Syrian rebels could have been faked, Russian broadcaster RT reported. He said the U.N. investigation team in Syria can decide if chemical weapons were used but said any decision on responsibility must be made by the Security Council, where Russia has a veto. Also Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin and British Prime Minister David Cameron spent 20 minutes on the phone, The Independent reported. Cameron's office described the conversation as "businesslike." Vlad and Champ... not talking ? Putin was said to have advised Cameron U.N. inspectors should be given enough time to do their job but did not go as far as Lavrov. His polls are abysmal. Champ needs a righteous cause, a diversion. This alleged chemical attack is his ticket. He'll be pulling the trigger very soon. |

| #13 MOSCOW, August 27 (RIA Novosti) – A firebrand Russian nationalist-turned-senior official said Tuesday that the West was acting in the Islamic world like a “monkey with a hand grenade.” Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s former envoy to NATO, did not elaborate on his comparison, made on his Russian-language Twitter page. |

| #7 Irans the wild card. Lose Syria and they will lose Iraq within a year or so, as the Jihadis move on. A nuclear attack on Israel is a possibility. |

| #5 OOOOPPPPPP, forgot DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Reuters] CHINA SEES NO BASIS FOR TALKS WID JAPAN ON ISLANDS DISPUTE. Yuh-oh. Iff Maha-Rushian histoire' ala CHINA is any measure, NUKE-ARMED CHINA MAY BE GETTING READY TO OPEN FIRE ON NON-NUKE ARMED JAPAN [Philippines = SCS?] SOONER THAN LATER. POssibly before October??? "Perfect STorm" for the Bammer + his alleged anti-US, Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist agenda. The good news for US + Japan + PHIL, ASEAN is that China's ace has historically been its ground forces - this means that China may subjectively/broadly restrict itself to waging LIMITED WARS [Conventinal? TacNuke?] WIDIN RANGE OF ITS LAND-BASED LR AIR, BALLISTIC FIREPOWER. The bad news is that iff the Bammer is indeed adhereing to the Globalist agenda, includ its precept of a "Multipolar" World where there are MULTIPLE GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS-LEADERS, then by this scope the Bammer = USA may deliberately PCorrectly-Deniably "lose" agz Rising China in East Asia + PACOAS; + fail to stop Nuke-Armed Iran includ Iran-led OWG Caliphate [Global Islamic Superpower]??? Lest we fergit, POLITICS = MARKETING/SALES-N-ADVERTISING = "HUMAN BEHAVIOR BY OTHER MEANS" = GETTING END-USERS OR CONSUMERS TO ACCEPT OR BUY, ETC. WHAT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOOD FOR THEM OR THEIR INTERESTS. |
