this seems to have flown slightly under the radar:

"The new US details came in the week that Vladimir Putin gave his strongest admission yet that Russia was already providing some military and logistical support to Syria.
“We are already giving Syria quite serious help with equipment and training soldiers, with our weapons,” he said during an economic forum in Vladivostok on Friday, according to the state-owned RIA Novosti news agency."



mmmmm....interesting.

Looks like a plausible pretext for the US to start arming Al Qaeda http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/08/31/petraeus-use-al-qaeda-figh...

In reply to Morgan Woods:

If Russia can do a better job at fixing the crisis then why not?

Or is it only the USA and UK that are allowed to make military decisions around the globe?

In reply to Morgan Woods:

nothing really changes as Russia has been using the Syrian port at Tartus as a med base for 40 + years anyway. This just kind of makes it public more official or long term.
