THE CLASH RUSSIA–US in SYRIA. BOTH OF THEM SENT WMD OVER THERE

THE CLASH RUSSIA–US in SYRIA. BOTH OF THEM SENT WMD OVER THERE

Introduction
By Hugo Adan. July 16, 2012

This is either a road toward the 3rd World War or a re-design of deterrence policy worldwide. To "Deterrence" in the sense that a clash with nuclear head missiles already in the region does not warranty the annihilation to the other side, instead it is more likely that it will be responded immediately with a double devastating attack, so both superpowers will lose. To avoid this lose they have to negotiate a deterrence-balance of power. Meaning: you do not affect my interest, I won't affect yours.

Russia and China are saying now that Syria and Iran is under my deterrence-umbrella. Whether the US-SS Clinton accepted or not this is a reality to deal with. This crude reality makes senseless her threat "Russia and China" will pay for protecting Syria and Iran". So, both super-power blocks are now in full alert and whatever mistake their military does may conduce towards the 3rd World War.

1. RUSSIA SENDS WARSHIPS TOWARD SYRIA

Russia dispatched eleven warships to the eastern Mediterranean, some of which will dock in Syria, in Moscow’s latest attempt to display Russian power in the region and ward off a Western intervention in Syria.

About half of the ships are capable of carrying hundreds of Russian Marines, although its unknown if any forces are set to go ashore after docking at Russia’s naval base in Tartus.

The announcement came just one day after Russia officially said it would halt all new weapons sales to Syria. Russia has provide arms and backing to the regime of Bashar al-Assad throughout the 16-month long conflict.

Sending naval vessels, as Russia has done periodically throughout the past, seems an attempt to reassure the US and its allies that Moscow still plans to block any attempt to intervene militarily against the Assad regime.

Russia’s main concerns regarding Syria is that Washington will try to usher in regime change, and possibly military intervention, and exploit any political transition for their benefit, thus stamping out Russia’s valuable Middle Eastern ally.

UN envoy Kofi Annan said this month that while Russia has received a lot of criticism for continuing to back the violent President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, “very few things are said about other countries that send arms and money and weigh on the situation on the ground,” without naming any specific countries.

Foreign meddling on behalf of all sides has been instrumental in prolonging the conflict by emboldening both sides and making a political settlement more remote. But now Russia seems to be altering its posture to one of preventing any military intervention against Assad, instead of arming the regime as a proxy client. This position is more amenable to a resolution to the conflict, unlike the position of the US and its allies in arming and aiding the Syrian rebel fighters.

2.A. US SENDS 4TH AIRCRAFT CARRIER & DOZENS of UNDERWATER DRONES TOWARD IRAN

War in August? US sends fourth aircraft carrier and dozens of underwater drones towards Iran

The US Navy has unexpectedly dispatched a fourth aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, along with a fleet of underwater drones in what is being considered just the latest move in a series of escalations leading towards a potential war with Iran.

The deployment of dozens of small, unmanned submarine-like watercraft was confirmed by the Los Angeles Times this week, which cites military officials speaking on condition of anonymity.

This particular type of craft, unmanned SeaFox submersible, are reported to be sent to the Gulf so that the US military can detect and destroy any mines that may be planted in the waterway by Iranian officials if they escalate efforts to block the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important narrow stretch of water that exists as an immensely important conduit for any resources being moved in or out of the Middle East.

3. THE IMPERIAL GRAND STRATEGY according to antiwar.com
U.S. EMPIRE-COM: The Dangerous Evolution of Imperial Grand Strategy
John Glaser, November 30, 2011

Since World War II the United States government has divided up the world into different war zones. Every corner of the planet was placed under the auspices of some subdivision of the U.S. military and national security state to be utilized in the effort to maintain global hegemony. And Presidents from Truman to Obama have used it in exactly that way, acting as if their legal, territorial, and coercive jurisdiction spans the globe. And this monstrosity is still growing.
