Given the worsening crisis in Syria, the Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper reported that the Russian army is apparently being prepared for a mission in Syria. Citing anonymous sources in the military leadership, the newspaper said that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the general staff to work out a plan for military operations outside Russia, including in Syria.

The units being prepared for an intervention are the 76th Division of airborne forces (an especially experienced unit of the Russian army), the 15th Army Division, as well as special forces from a brigade of the Black Sea fleet, which has a base in the Syrian port of Tartus.

The details of the operational plan are being prepared by the working parties of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, to which most of the post-Soviet states belong, as well as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, to which China and Russia belong.

According to the newspaper report, deployment depends on the decision of the Russian government and the UN. However, the plans also foresee that the troops might intervene without UN approval. The Russian government has so far not confirmed the report.

On Monday last week, three Russian warships were sighted off the Syrian coast. An anonymous source from the Russian government told the Iranian newspaper Tehran Times that Moscow wants to show NATO that it will not allow any military operation against Damascus under the guise of a humanitarian mission.

Earlier, the secretary-general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Nikolai Bordjusha, had held out the possibility of using “peacekeepers” in Syria. “The task in Syria is likely to be to impose peace—primarily against the insurgents, who use weapons to solve political problems.”

*UPDATE*

US believes Russia has ship with weapons, troops en route to Syria

The United States says it is tracking a Russian military cargo ship as it makes its way to Syria carrying weapons, ammunition and a small number of Russian troops.

U.S. intelligence believes the Russians are sending the ship to help fortify its naval base in Syria as the situation in country continues to spiral out of control, Pentagon officials told CNN Friday.

The presence of the ship was first reporting by NBC News.

Classified U.S. imagery shows the ship, called the Nikolay Filchenkov, began loading in the port of Sevastapol on the Black Sea on June 7 and is headed for the Syrian port of Tartus, where the Russians have a naval facility. The port is vital for Russian naval access to the entire Middle East.

US deploys troops in Israel for Iran war
The drill entitled "Austere Challenge 12" will involve the installation of troops near Iran's neighboring Strait of Hormuz, the reinforcing of nearby nations with US weapons, and the deployment of thousands of American troops into Israel. The Jerusalem Post quotes US Commander Lt.-Gen Frank Gorenc as saying the drill is not just an "exercise" but also a "deployment" that will involve "several thousand American soldiers" heading to Israel.

This drill comes on the heels of escalating tension between Iran the U.S. over Iran's recent Naval Drill demonstrating their capability to close off the strait of Hormuz. Iran announced on Friday that they intend to hold further drills in the coming weeks as well.

In parallel to these events the Arab League has decided to Press for a UN no fly zone over Syria. Syria is a strong ally of Iran and the two countries are bound by mutual defense treaties.

Such escalating naval tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the world's most important oil route shed a new light on comments made by Chineses President Hu Jintao on December 7th when he urged the country's navy today to prepare for military combat and advance naval modernisation..
The navy should "accelerate its transformation and modernisation in a sturdy way, and make extended preparations for military combat in order to make greater contributions to safeguard national security and world peace," Hu said in a speech.

Cry Havok and let slip the pawns of war!

**Malu**

the united states is pretty much running on empty, not much left but a bunch of hot air, and a bunch of nukes. the military has been run through the wringer since the korean war, and it is certainly at it's tipping point, and rightly so.
the best thing that could happen right now is a military coupe. our military has been sent chasing pseudo foreign enemies, when the whole time the real ones have been domestic. we have a lot of good men and women serving with a few bad eggs at the top, the only way to restore order is for them to come home and take care of business.
the only other path is suicide for all of us.
