BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:25 A.M.) – The Russian military completed its largest missile delivery to Syria to-date this week, a U.S. official told Fox News on Wednesday.

Russia has just sent Syria the largest shipment of missiles between the two countries to date, the latest delivery between the two allies that could further change the stakes in the Middle East, U.S. officials told Fox News on Wednesday.

According to this U.S. official sourced by Fox News, the Russian military delivered a large shipment of 50 SS-21 short-range ballistic missiles to the Syrian coastal city of Tartous over the last two days.

The SS-21, which comes in different types, has a range of roughly 100 miles.

Al-Masdar News is unable to confirm the validity of this report.

Turkey is still NATO. The invading troops can be stroke as they don’t fall under Ch.5 of the charter as it’s an illegal action under international law. If Syria begins to shoot missiles into Turkey, NATO will intervene for sure and there we all face a very serious problem, although, well, no… Putin is not that idiot : he’ll simply let Assad face his responsibilities in such a case but be sure that if a NATO country is under aggression, they simply can’t the aggressor get away with it or it’d made the principle of the alliance irrelevant.

Frankly, it’smuch much better to avoid nuclear proliferation in the MENA : too much instability and too much crazy people, thanks to a very often warmongering religion and high consanguinity. Israel is a slightly different case. They have a politic of nuclear ambiguity. They may have nukes, very likely about 300, but it also can be a very clever hoax and if it’s the case, well, bravo! Nevertheless, they’re the only ones in the ME to need nukes as they’re under constant threat of genocide and numerously overwhelmed and surrounded by people who hate… Read more »
