Cool Guess our Canadian Halifax Class Anti-Submaine frigates that we sent in a Intergrated task force with the USN Carrier group will mee the crews we worked with on the Libya Mission since it went alot better than Afghanistan and was over in 7 months and not 12-13 years and still on going for some reason.

Note that in the middle of July it became known to form in the Mediterranean, Russia mezhflotskoy group consisting of ships of the Northern and Baltic fleets, which were to join the already in the Mediterranean, Black Sea Fleet ships. The Northern Fleet in the group represented by large landing ships “Alexander Otrakovsky,” “George” and “Kondopoga”, as well as a large antisubmarine ship “Vice-Admiral Kulakov.” The Baltic Fleet patrol ships represent the “Yaroslav the Wise,” “Fearless” and the rescue tug “SBS-921″ Black Sea Fleet has sent patrol “Smetliviy” and BBC “Nicholas Fil’chenkov” and “Caesar Kunikov.”

Your arcticle pretty much says that Putin agreed with getting chemical weapons out of syria since we asked Russia to help out and ensure that they are diposed of properly and do not fall into the hands of terroist groups.

So funny how people still think Assad is the bad guy in the conflict and are being fed lies about the true Islamic extremist nature of the Syrian rebels.

All this support of the Muslim Brotherhood makes one wonder.

Russia and China are strongly against the NATOs sabotage of diplomatic talks, and a desire to start a war. But they are not willing to flex their muscles.

To be honest I get Russia postio on asad and they have a naval base there but do not get China since Syria does not have much Oil and would be a waste for them to export the small amoubnt they would get so I get NATO's poistion and Russia's position but China really has no interests there and decade long close ties to Assad so China must see some thing of value that NATO and Russia are missing because they are new to playing the new version of the Great Game.

Russia has to watch out also since China is allied with China and will do what is their best interests and they will suide with the U.S. on some issues and Russia on others but they have no stance but to make sure that they Benifit and they screw over Russia as fast as they would screw over the U.S. if it benifted their intrests abroad.

China is the Country that was what Russia and the U.S. were like at the height of the Cold war interms of building massive infastructure projects and a massive push to expand their space program while both the U.S. and Russia have slowed funding on new Rocket developments and desings or even scraped whole projects with billions already invested in them before they even were ready to be tested.

I think Inda should be invited to have veto status in the U.N. since they would be on good terms with both Countries and counter China in some areas that yhr U.S. and Russia have no interest in but they might have Issues since they border each other and we stay out of it since we trade with both of them.

China has interests in the region, and it doesn't want America getting hold of it. Plus it follows the "Empire of Good" (played by Russia).

I can't imagine China siding with America (its enemy №1), but you are right that it's not a true ally of Russia, and may easily go against it. Actually, it does, but only by exploiting Russian laws - it's absolutely not in China's interest to go strongly against Russia, like it was during Soviet times.

India is not really independed. It is heavily influenced by USA, Russia, and China. Giving it such power is simply against American interests.
